A 3X3X3 factorial experiment with nitrogen (0, 60, 120 kg/ha), P205 (0, 45 , 90 kg/ha) and K20 (0.45, 90 kg/ha) was laid out to find out optimum and economic levels of the above nutrients for maximising fruit yield in oriental pickling melon. Response to nitrogen was observed to be quadratic and the optimum level was calculated as 96.6 kg/ha and the economic level as 45.38 kg/ha. The P205 application produced no significant effects in melon for different characters studied. Response to K20 was linear
