EFFECTS OF WATERMELON GRAFTING ON FRUIT YIELD AND QUALITY [PDF]
HortScience, 2005 Grafted cucurbits are commonly grown in various Asian and European countries, but only rarely in North America. Disease control in fields where crop rotation cannot be practiced is a common justification for grafting cucurbits. In the present study, grafting is being examined as a methyl bromide alternative, which may allow cucurbits to be grown in ...

A Comparative Analysis of the Grafting Efficiency of Watermelon with a Grafting Machine
Horticulturae, 2023 The rising age of the population in rural China and the labor intensity of grafting have resulted in a decrease in the number of grafters and a subsequent increase in their wages. Manual grafting can no longer satisfy the increasing demand for watermelon-grafted transplanting; thus, machine grafting will be an effective alternative.
