Salinity tolerance of grafted watermelon seedlings [PDF]

Acta Biologica Hungarica, 2017
In order to evaluate the salinity tolerance of grafted watermelon, two sets of experiments were conducted in a growing chamber where 'Esmeralda' varieties were grafted onto interspecific squash (Cucurbita maxima Duch. × Cucurbita moschata Duch.) and Lagenaria siceraria rootstocks. Both non-grafted and self-garfted plants were used for control. For salt

Grafting Methods for Watermelon Production [PDF]

HortScience, 2008
Vegetable grafting is most common in European and Asian countries where crop rotation is no longer an option and available land is under intense use. Grafting is an alternative approach to reduce crop damage resulting from soilborne pathogens and increase plant abiotic stress tolerance, which increases crop production.

Antitranspirant Application Increases Grafting Success of Watermelon [PDF]

HortTechnology, 2017
The one-cotyledon splice grafting method is commonly used for watermelon ( Citrullus lanatus ) because it is relatively rapid and there is less rootstock regrowth than with other grafting methods.

ECONOMICS OF GRAFTED VS CONVENTIONAL WATERMELON PLANTS [PDF]

HortScience, 2006
Grafting of watermelons has been used in many countries to provide control of, or resistance to, certain soil borne diseases such as Fusarium wilt. The impact of grafting on postharvest quality has not been thoroughly examined. This report deals with the comparison of the costs of production between grafted versus conventional watermelons and the ...

Comparative Transcriptome Analysis in Homo- and Hetero-Grafted Cucurbit Seedlings

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) is a valuable horticultural crop with nutritional benefits grown worldwide. It is almost exclusively cultivated as grafted scions onto interspecific squash rootstock (Cucurbita maxima × Cucurbita moschata) to improve the ...
