This article provides brief information about melon varieties, presents the results of testing promising breeding varieties of the Bykovskaya experimental station. As a result of three-year research, promising new high-yielding (up to 25.7 t/ha) melon variety ‘Katyusha’ was identified. The average fruit weight over three years reached 2.8 kg. Tasting score was 4.5 points. According to our studies, 2019 was the most favorable year for the cultivation of melon variety ‘Katyusha’, since it exceeded the yield of standard one during the years of research. Thus, ‘Katyusha’ deserves its proper place on the market.
