Abstract: The present study was carried out to evaluate the performance of snap melon genotypes for growth, yield and quality related attributes at Horticultural College and Research Institute, Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore. Among the genotypes used for investigation, early harvest was obtained from T18 (Melur local) (55.26) followed by T3 (Amaravathi) (56.58) and T2 (Tanjore) (58.04). The genotype T3 (Amaravathi) (13.80) excelled in highest fruit yield per plant followed by the genotypes T13 (Gujarat local) (13.70) and T6 (Kariapatti) (12.70). The genotype T16 (Thirumangalam long) (7.4oBrix) recorded highest TSS followed by the genotype T8 (6.30 oBrix) and T7 (6.20 oBrix). High amount of ascorbic acid content was observed in the genotype T12 (Ranne bannur) (11.25 mg/100g) followed by T13 (Gujarat local) (10.23 mg/100g) and the lowest amount of ascorbic acid content was recorded in T3 (Amaravathi) (4.42 mg/100g). Regarding carbohydrate content highest amount was observed in T1 (Virudhunagar) (21.23 mg/100 g) followed by T3 (Amaravathi) (19.86 mg/100 g) and T2 (Tanjore) (18.52 mg/100 g).
