Abstract
Different sowing densities(1 seed per cell,2 seeds per cell,3 seeds per cell)of rootstock were tested using 50 cell plug tray to determine optimal sowing density of rootstock for root pruning hole insertion watermelon grafting method.The growth of both rootstock and grafted watermelon seedling was used as responses to the treatment.The results showed that rootstock seedlings and grafted seedlings had the best quality when the sowing density is 1 seed per cell.The increase in sowing density resulted in excessive growth of rootstock seedlings and declined quality of grafted watermelon seedlings.Conside-ring the seedling quality and production cost the most economical and effective sowing density of rootstock for 50 cell plug tray for the production of root pruning hole insertion grafted watermelon seedlings is 2 seeds per cell in the low temperature period and 1 seed per cell in normal temperature period.
