The present work was developed with the objective of studying 3 combined doses of N and K2O, applied as cover dressings within 15, 30 and 45 days after seedling emergence, in the water efficience use and fruit quality of muskmelons grown on a Dark Red Podzolic soil. The experiment was carried in Ilha Solteira, Sao Paulo State, Brazil. The experiment was carried out in 1991 with the Valenciano Amarelo and Eldorado 300 cultivars, in a 2.0 x 0.75m spacing. The results showed that N and K2O influenced some parameters of the Eldorado 300 cultivar: peel weight, seed weight and acidity; pulp yield in Valenciano Amarelo cultivar.Downloads
