Resumo: 	ABSTRACT  Local knowledge about irrigation management in yellow melon can promote higher precision to water supply for irrigation purposes, increasing productivity and reducing production costs. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of different irrigation depths for yellow melon production and on yield response factor to water (Ky) in the productive phase. The experiment was carried out in Fortaleza, state of Ceará, Brazil, in complete randomized blocks with six treatments, four replicates and six plants per plot. Treatments were applied from intermediate (III) to final (IV) physiological state with water depths equivalents to 25%, 50%, 75%, 100%, 125% and 150% of the crop evapotranspiration (ETc). Ky was calculated according to FAO-33 report methodology in the range from 25% to 100% ETc. The variables analyzed were number of fruits per plant, polar and equatorial diameters, fruit fresh weight, commercial yield, skin and pulp thickness, and soluble solids. Treatments influenced the number of fruits per plant, equatorial diameter, fruit fresh weight, commercial yield, and soluble solids. The best results were reached with commercial yield equal to 32.2 Mg ha-1, 1.46 fruits per plant, equatorial diameter equal to 16.3 cm, fruit fresh weight equal to 2.3 kg and soluble solids equal to 12 ºBrix with 100.3% ETc in the productive phase. The crop was tolerant to water supply reduction on the productive phase (Ky &lt; 1) through daily irrigation with controlled water deficit.
