Abstract
To determine the ideal melon hybrids, investigate the genotype by environment interaction, and detection of Fom-1 and Fom-2 resistance genes, 23 melon hybrids were investigated in two locations. Which-won-where polygon plot showed that hybrids 1507, 1782, 1404, and 2109 for E1, and hybrids 1486, 1491, 1323, and 2131 for E2 were ideal. Hybrids 1623, 2077, 1323, 1491, 1486, 2109, 1507, 1404, 1782, and 2131 were close to the ideal hybrid, respectively, and they were ideal hybrids in terms of higher fruit yield ability and stability compared to others. According to the results of the TOPSIS index, 6 hybrids including 1623, 1323, 1507, 2077, 1404, and 1491 were common between the two fields. Based on the GGE biplot results. These hybrids were close to the ideal hybrid in terms of higher fruit yield ability and stability, these hybrids also had genes for resistance to Fom-1 or Fom-2, and as promising hybrids in terms of simultaneous selection of yield and desirable traits, yield stability and resistance to Fom-1 or Fom-2 genes can be introduced
