The main direction of selective work in melon breeding is the creation of varieties with high productivity potential. The purpose of the research was to create a new variety of watermelon ‘Malachite’ and accession 705 that are resistant to biotic and abiotic environmental factors and possess a set of economically useful traits. The results of twoyear research showed that in 2018, the variety ‘Malachite’ exceeded ‘Sinchevsky’ (standard) by 4.4 t/ha in yield; in 2019, the yield of ‘Malachite’ was 3 t/ha less than that of the standard one. During the two years, accession 705 exceeded standard one by 6.6 t/ha and 1 t/ha, respectively.
