This study aimed to assess the impact of PGPR (Plant Growth-Promoting Rhizobacteria) on the yield and quality of various melon (Cucumis melo L.) cultivars under Van ecological conditions during the 2016/2017 season. The experiment utilized PGPR applications including FZB42 (Bacillus amyloliquefaciens), CC378/2 (Pantoea agglomerans), and CC44 (Pseudomonas fluorescens), with six melon cultivars: Kırkağaç 637, BT Akhisar, Napolyon F1, Lokma F1, Lokum F1, and Ananas. The study was conducted using a randomized block design with three replications. Results indicated that PGPR applications enhanced several growth and yield parameters: stem thickness increased by up to 9.2%, leaf length by up to 12.9%, petiole length by up to 8.3%, fresh leaf weight by up to 12.8%, dry leaf weight by up to 12.9%, average fruit yield per plant by up to 39.1%, average fruit weight by up to 21.9%, fruit flesh thickness by up to 17.6%, fruit width by up to 7.4%, fruit length by up to 9.2%, average number of branches by up to 21.1%, and total branch length by up to 13.2%.
