Abstract
This experiment was carried out to investigate the effect of ridge direction (south-north) on temperature and light intensity on early growth of oriental melon under east-west oriented vinyl house cultivation. The air-temperature of minimum between north and south-ridge in the tunnel of vinyl house was $12.5^[\circ}C\;and\;11.3^{\circ}C$ and that of maximum between north and south-ridge was $36.7^{\circ}C\;and\;34.7^{\circ}C$, respectively. The minimum and maximum air-temperature of north-ridge in the tunnel of vinyl house on Feb. 15 were $12^{\circ}C\;and\;2.0^{\circ}C$ higher than those of south-ridge, respectively. The intensity of daylight between south and north-ridge was similar during 9:00-10:30 a.m., that of south-ridge was higher than north-ridge during 10:30-11:30 a.m. and that of north-ridge was higher than south-ridge during 11:30-17:30. The plant growth after 55 days of planting on the north-ridge was prominent cultivation compared to south-ridge. The female flowering and first harvesting day were earlier in north-ridge than in south ridge. The marketable fruits rate and yields (kg/10a) were $6.7\%$ and 218kg higher in north-ridge cultivation than south-ridge, respectively. Differences of marketable fruit rate and yield (kg/10a) in each ridge were significant.
