Abstract
Watermelon is a Curbitaceae with relevance in the industry, in which experiments are implemented to evaluate several factors. The objective was to determine the optimal portion size (Xo) of Liverpool hybrid watermelon, to increase the experiment’s precision and maximize experimental results. The work was implemented at the Experimental Farm of the Centro Universitário Norte do Espírito Santo, of the Federal University of Espírito Santo. The equatorial and longitudinal perimeter and mass of the fruit were evaluated. The Meier and Lessman method was used with bootstrap simulation, using 2000 resamples to determine the Xo. Based on the variability of the data, the plot sizes for each characteristic evaluated were different, and the optimal plot size was four fruits per plot for fruit mass.
