The objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of four nitrogen sources (ammonium sulfate, calcium nitrate, urea and monoammonium phosphate) at 80 kg ha-1, applied 2, 3, 4 and 5 times through drip irrigation on the production and characteristics of the melon, under field conditions, at the Cajazeiras Agricultural Farm, located in Tibau, RN, Brazil. The experiment was carried out in a completely randomized block design, in a 4 x 4 factorial scheme, with four replications. The melon yield was measured considering total number and weight of the fruits, the number of marketable fruits per hectare and size of the fruits. Generally speaking, the results showed that melon plants presented similar response to all used nitrogen sources, notably to the MAP applied three times; that the number of nitrogen applications did not affected the evaluated parameters regarding production and quality of fruits; and that the used nitrogen sources and the application number of the fertilizers resulted in higher amount of types 6, 7 and 8 fruits (fruits with average size).
