O objective this work was to estimated genotypic, phenotypic and environmental among traits of melon. Six hybrids of melon and their fifteen populations in diallel crosses were evaluated in a randomized complete block design with three replications. The traits assessed were yield, number total of fruits, average fruit weight, longitudinal diameter, transversal diameter, pulp thickness, pulp firmness and soluble solids content. The correlations between yield and total number fruit and yield and average fruit weight were positives. The total number exhibited negative correlation with average fruit weight and solids soluble content. The correlations of the solids soluble content with average fruit weight, pulp thickness and pulp firmness ware positives. However, pulp firmness and pulp thickness exhibited association negative. The undesirable associations detected in the present work were not sufficiently strong, indicating that is possible to obtain recombinants individuals in the segregating populations evaluated.
