Abstract
Abstract A dominant tap root was apparent in nearly all direct-seeded watermelon plants, Citrullus lanatus (Thunb.) Mansf., but was lacking in those that had been transplanted. Transplants were characterized by a shallow, extensive root system and superior yield in contrast to direct-seeded plants.
