Aim of the work - creation of competitive varieties and F1 heterotic hybrids of water melon for growing in the Nothern zone of melon growing. Research methods - hybridization combined with different kinds of selection. In the result of breeding work by the method of synthetic breeding there has been created the water melon variety Max - cold resistant, middle-early. Total yield is 40,6 t/ha, maximal one - 46,6 t/ha, marketability is 82%. It is relatively resistant to fusarial wilt. The tasting mark is 4,8 - 5,0. The chemical composition of fruits: dry soluble matter - 8,5 - 9,5%, general sugar - 8,0-9,0%, asccorbic aсid - 5,5 - 7,0 mg/100g. The plant is long-runner, strongly developed one. The fruit is orbicular-oval, dark green. Flesh is rosy, solid, juicy. Seeds are small, light brown. The variety is intended for fresh consumption and salting.
