<![CDATA[Phenotypic Appearance, Genetic Parameters for Yield Character and Yield Component of Melon (Cucumis melo)ABSTRACT. This study aims to identify the magnitude of predictive value in population genetic parameters melon genotypes . The design used in this study is a randomized block design pattern of non- factorial with 3 replications consisting of 6 treatments genotype extent that Sky Rocket , Action , Amanta , Glamour , Red Aroma , and Apollo , thus there are 18 experimentals. Observed were fruit length , fruit diameter , the largest fruit weight, the smallest fruit weight , fruit weight, and fresh fruit weight / hectare . The results showed that the genotype Glamour shows the best result of the appearance of the character fruit diameter , the smallest fruit weight , fruit weight, and fruit weight / hectare with a potential yield reached 7.25 tons / ha . Predictive value of genetic parameters of yield and yield component characters of melon plants showed that the coefficient of genetic diversity ( KKG ) criteria classified into low , whereas in the broad sense heritability classified into high criteria . Character crop yield and yield components of melon also showed predictive value of genetic correlations ranging from correlation is not real , very real to real . The character of the fruit weight is positive and highly significant correlation with the characters : ( 1 ) the largest fruit weight with r = 0.829 ** and ( 2 ) the weight of fresh fruit per acre with a value of r = 1.00 ** . ]]>
