Abstract

Almost all cultivars of melon which are used in greenhouse production are foreign origin F1 hybrid in Antalya. Local hybrid melon cultivars are required to increase production to reduce imports in the seed sector. But, many local cultivars are susceptible to virus diseases. This also leads to serious losses in the production.
