This research was carried out to determine the effectiveness of chemigation method onyield, fungicide use efficiency (FUE) and net return of melon (Cucumis melo cv. Edalı) incombating soil–borne fungal pathogens (Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. melonis andMacrophomina phaseoli). The experiment was conducted in a naturally infested field as inthe randomized blocks design with four replications in Konya–Çumra, Turkey, ecologicalconditions. The experimental plots consisted of chemigation with different activeingredient (Fludioxonil+Metalaxyl–M–F1 and Hymexazol–F2), traditional application andno fungicide. While fungicide applications with chemigation method were made two times including together with planting and 15 days after planting, traditional practice was madeonce on 15th day after planting by spraying. Every two years, management throughchemigation on yield and the fight aganist soil–borne pathogen gave better results thanboth control and traditional combat. The highest yield (1.97–2.66 t da–1, respectively) wasobtained from F1 applications. Besides, according to net return, there were significantlydifferences among the treatments. The maximum net income was obtained from F1treatment that were ₺ 1 419 ha–1.
