Abstract The study aims to determine the optimal regimes of mineral fertilization for the yield of commercial watermelon fruits. The research goal is to analyze how fertilization regimes affect the growth parameters of this plant, such as weight per fruit and average fruit weight per plant. The research subjects are watermelon varieties, such as two Crimson Sweet varieties (including hybrid Producer Hollar) and Kholodok. The study involved a field survey on the territory of Zhana Tau, a farm located in the Aktobe area of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The experimental design encompassed the following fertilizer applications: Variant I – N30P40K60, Variant II – N60P60K120 and Variant III – N90P60K120. The study found that mineral fertilizers have a significant impact on the yield and growth parameters of watermelon fruits. After the application of N30P40K60, the weight per fruit was 8.13 kg for Crimson Sweet and 8.35 kg for Kholodok. The highest fruit weight indicator, 11.45 kg, was achieved when hybrid Producer Hollar was cultivated with N90P60K120. The highest yield (55.9 t/ha) was recorded when growing hybrid Producer Hollar with N90P60K120. The yield of the Crimson Sweet and Kholodok varieties, with the same level of fertilization, amounted to 49.6 t/ha and 51.2 t/ha, respectively. Correlation-regression analysis of the data on watermelon yield showed that this parameter tends to increase with the increase in the use of mineral fertilizers. Therefore, further research may focus on studying the influence of even higher levels of each macroelement and their combined effects on crop structure and fruit quality in watermelon cultivation.
