Abstract

Cucumber,watermelon,pumpkins,squash,tomato,radish,wheat,flax,sesame,castor,flower bean,green bean are used to study the effect of extract from root of watermelon on seeds germination,weight increasing of root and seedling of different crop.The results showed that extract from root of watermelon on different crops in various organs are affected,cucumber and wheat seed's sprouting and weight of seedling increased,the effect is not significant;Flower bean germination and root weight as well as in pepper root weight also increased,but the effect is not significant;green bean root weight had significant increase;Radish seedlings weight also increased,and other crops have inhibitory effect.
