The muskmelon is an important summer fruit that has a high commercialization. This crop is very demanding in mineral nutrition, which is why studying the crop nutrition is so important in order to attain the highest levels of mineral absorption. The objective of this investigation is to show the effects of different fertilization levels (NPK) on yield and fruit quality, and to determine the best yield fertilization level. The experiment took place in the Valley of Cañete and it was watered through gravity. It had three fertilization levels and one non-fertilized treatment. The fertilizers were added twice; at 27 and 61 days after the planting. Commercial and non-commercial yields, number of fruits, average weight, the size of the flesh, inner cavity diameter, outer diameter and the sweetness of the fruits were evaluated. According to the study, it can be affirmed that the total and commercial yield follows a growing trend with a higher fertilization level. The third fertilization level (150- 100-150 kg/ha NPK) had the highest commercial yield with 47.97 t/ha. Also, when fertilization levels increased the non-commercial fruits decreased. The fourth fertilization level (200 – 150 - 200) and the non-fertilized level showed the highest non-commercial yield with 16.26 t/ha and 12.5 tm/ha respectively. No significant difference could be found comparing the fertilization levels of the following measurements: average weight, the size of the flesh, inner cavity diameter, outer diameter and the sweetness of the fruit.
