The yield and fruit quality of five cultivars of netted melon were evaluated under greenhouse conditions. The experiment was carried out in Jaboticabal, Brazil. Five cultivars (Sunrise, Aragon, Halest Best Jumbo, Nero and Bônus nº 2) were evaluated in a randomized block design with four replications. Each plot consisted of 3 plants spaced 0.8 x 1.0m apart. The total fruit yield was evaluated; average fruit weight; average longitudinal and transversal fruit diameter; average thickness and flesh and skin color and the qualitative fruit characters, % total soluble solids, pH and total acidity. The cultivar Bônus nº 2 presented the highest fruit yield and average weight, average flesh thickness and total soluble solids.
