Abstract

Long-term breeding work on the creation of melon varieties resistant to flour mildew disease was carried out at the Research Institute of Vegetable, Melon crops and Potato. As a result of the breeding work, the genes of resistance to powdery mildew disease were transferred to local varieties, and a melon variety was created, the fruits of which have high taste qualities. It was added to the state register in 2019.
