For this purpose, melons were harvested optimal time and cumulative yield, average of fruit weight, fruit scale and height, cavity scale and height, fruit firmness and total soluble solid content (TSSC) were investigated.Maximum cumulative yield was obtanined from 3 fruits on plant treatment while minimum yield was determined from 1 fruit on plant treatment. On the other hand, maximum fruit weight was obtained from 1 fruit on plant while minimum fruit weight was determined 4 fruits on plant. In terms of fruit qualities, the effect of pruning treatments were found to be statisticaly significant on cumulative yield, average of fruit weight, fruit scale and height, cavity scale and height, fruit firmness and total soluble solid content (TSSC).
