This work aimed to evaluate the influence of two types of pruning techniques on agronomic traits of melon genotypes conducted under open greenhouse conditions equipped with a hydroponic system. The experimental design used was a split-plot with 2 pruning techniques x 19 genotypes in 4 replications. The study showed no significant difference within genotypes due to pruning technique (except for the number of days for maturity) and the pruning x genotype interaction. Therefore, the melon could be cultivated no matter the pruning technique used. Nevertheless, pruning based on two secondary branches seemed to be more suitable by preventing them from breaking, compared to that based on main branches. Melon genotype G-10 was found as a good compromise in terms of flowering precocity, fruit yield and quality.
