Other claims from this paper (17)
- Intervention effect Inoculation with rootstock did not significantly affect vitamin C content in watermelons, which was lower than in control plants.
- Observation Yukon F1 watermelon as control had the highest vitamin C content (8.72 mg/100 g).
- Observation The combination of Yukon F1 with Cobalt F1 had vitamin C content of 8.65 mg/100 g.
- Observation The combination of Yukon F1 with Pelops F1 had vitamin C content of 8.37 mg/100 g.
- Intervention effect Watermelon grafted on Cobalt F1 rootstock had the highest total soluble solids on Kidman F1 (-10.88%), 1.5% more than the control.
- Intervention effect Watermelon grafted on Cobalt F1 rootstock had 10.21% total soluble solids on Yukon F1, 1.06% more than the control.
- Observation The combination of Yukon F1 and Cobalt F1 had the highest total sugar content (8.84%), 1.71% more than the control.
- Observation The combination of Kidman F1 and Pelops F1 had total sugar content of 8.69%, 0.79% more than the control plants.
- Observation The lowest nitrate content (21.4 mg/kg) was on Cobalt F1 rootstock with Kidman F1 watermelon.
- Observation Nitrate content of Yukon F1 watermelon was 23.9 mg/kg, not significantly different from control plants.
- Association Inoculation significantly increased dry soluble matter and total sugar content of watermelon.
- Association Inoculation lowered nitrate content of watermelon.
- Association Inoculation negatively affected vitamin C content of watermelon, especially in triploid watermelon.
- Association Cobalt F1 rootstock gave higher dry matter and total sugar content than Pelops F1 rootstock.
- Association Cobalt F1 rootstock gave lower nitrate content than Pelops F1 rootstock.
- Recommendation The authors conclude that using different rootstocks for diploid and triploid watermelons is expedient to improve fruit quality.
- Recommendation The authors conclude that grafted plants are feasible under modern growing conditions.
