The object of research is the genetic diversity of melon crops. Research methods: field, visual, measurement and weighing, laboratory, mathematical and statistical, using proven methodological recommendations. A selection and genetic evaluation of melon crop samples was carried out based on a set of morphological and economic characteristics and properties. 17 samples of melon, watermelon, and pumpkin were introduced, and directions for their use as source material for selection were determined. A database of the economic value of samples based on key economic indicators was created, and valuable sources of early maturity, productivity, large fruit size, multi-fruitness, and high quality were identified. Four valuable samples of melon crops were selected and submitted for registration. Samples of melon Titovka and Samarska are distinguished by a combination of early ripening, high yield, and resistance to environmental factors, surpassing the analogue in early maturity by 5–10 days, yield by 3.8–9.7 t/ha, resistance to biotic and abiotic factors (by 1 point). Samples of pumpkin Narodny and Muscat De Luxe are distinguished by a combination of increased yield and average fruit weight with environmental resistance, surpassing analogues in yield by 7.3–19.4 t/ha, average fruit weight by 2.6–4.2 kg, resistance by 1 point. Information was compiled on the parameters of the main identifying characteristics of pumpkins according to 16 characteristics and 35 levels of their expression, and 21 standard varieties were identified. Approved in agricultural enterprises and scientific institutions. Keywords: collection, sample, melon, watermelon, pumpkin, nursery, introduction, source, trait, productivity, valuable sample of gene pool.
