NEW GRAFTING METHOD FOR SEEDLESS WATERMELON PLANTS PROPAGATION [PDF]
Journal of Plant Production, 2008 Watermelon Citrullus lanatus is an important vegetable crop grown in Egypt. Seedless watermelon cultivars are preferred by most consumers because of their sweeter taste and lack of hard seeds. The growing costs of seedless watermelon (triploid hybrid watermelon) in Egypt is very expensive because its very expensive seed price, triploid seeds do not ...

Creep Modelling of Rootstock during Holding in Watermelon Grafting [PDF]
Agriculture, 2021 The fragile structure of a rootstock predisposes the stem to mechanical damage during grafting. Thus, it is necessary to take into account the rootstock’s rheological properties under mechanical compression when designing a clamping mechanism. This study focused on cucurbit, a typical rootstock for watermelon grafting.

Horticulturae, 2021 Recently, grafting has been used to improve abiotic stress resistance in crops. Here, using watermelon ‘Zaojia 8424’ (Citrullus lanatus) as scions, three different gourds (Lagenaria siceraria, 0526, 2505, and 1226) as rootstocks, and non-grafted plants ...

Grafted organic seedling production of tomato and watermelon
Acta Horticulturae, 2017 Grafting is used as a common tool to increase tolerance of vegetables against biotic and abiotic stresses. However, grafted organic seedling production is not present in Turkey. This study was conducted to determine the crop performance of organically grown grafted tomato and watermelon seedlings.

Advances in Watermelon Grafting to Increase Efficiency and Automation [PDF]
Horticulturae, 2020 Grafting watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) onto resistant rootstocks is an effective technique in the management of biotic and abiotic stresses. Since the first reported grafting of watermelon for disease resistance in 1927, adoption of the practice has been steadily increasing up to 95% in Japan, Korea, Greece, Israel and Turkey. However, for grafting to

Root-to-Shoot Hormonal Communication in Contrasting Rootstocks Suggests an Important Role for the Ethylene Precursor Aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic Acid in Mediating Plant Growth under Low-Potassium Nutrition in Tomato [PDF]
, 2016 Selection and breeding of rootstocks that can tolerate low K supply may increase crop productivity in low fertility soils and reduce fertilizer application. However, the underlying physiological traits are still largely unknown.

Comparative Epidemiology of Monosporascus Root Rot and Vine Decline in Muskmelon, Watermelon, and Grafted Watermelon Crops [PDF]
Plant Disease, 2008 Disease progression and soil population dynamics of Monosporascus cannonballus ascospores were studied and compared through the entire growing season in muskmelon, watermelon, and watermelon grafted onto Cucurbita rootstock crops. In muskmelon and watermelon, there was a decrease of ascospore counts in soil from transplanting until first symptoms of ...

Fruit quality assessment of watermelons grafted onto citron melon rootstock [PDF]
Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, 2016 AbstractBACKGROUNDThe grafting of watermelons (Citrullus lanatus) is a common technique that increases yield under stressful soil conditions. The most common rootstocks for watermelons are Cucurbita hybrids. However, they often have a negative impact on fruit quality.
