Abstract: In order to exploit the genetic variability of the progeny and to know the hybrid vigour in the F1 generation, artificial hybridization is carried out in plant breeding programmes. In this context, the aim of this chapter was to describe the main stages in obtaining F1 hybrids in melon, Cucumis melo var. momordica, from self-fertilization to artificial hybridization under greenhouse conditions. The hybrids obtained can be evaluated in different cropping systems, production zones and to obtain resistance or tolerance to biotic and abiotic factors, in order to maximise heterosis and the advantages of F1 hybrids.
