Abstract
Effects of seed priming and fungicide coating on seed germination and seedling growth of watermelon were studied.The results showed that at 15℃low temperature potassium nitrate had the best seed priming effect,and at 20℃both potassium nitrate and vermiculite were about the same in seed priming effect,significantly improving the seed vigor.The coating with mixture of fludioxonil and azoxystrobin had a good disinfection effect on watermelon seeds.In greenhouse culture seed priming and fungicide coating could improve the watermelon seed germination traits,shorten the mean emergence time and enhance the seedling emergence rate and seedling quality.
