Abstract:
... Powdery mildew (Podosphaera xanthii) affects seedlings of inter-specific hybrid squash (Cucurbita moschata × Cucurbita maxima) and bottle gourd (Lagenaria siceraria) used as rootstocks to graft seedless watermelon (Citrullus lanatus var. lanatus). Because powdery mildew grows primarily on the leaf surface where contact fungicides are effective, biofungicides may be effective preventative treatment ...

Abstract:
... Nitrogen plays a major role in the yield and quality of melon and watermelon plants. Two experiments were carried out to determine if grafting melon and mini-watermelon onto commercial rootstocks could enhance crop performance and nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) of grafted melon and mini-watermelon plants under open field conditions. In experiment 1, melon ‘Proteo’, was used as a scion and ‘P360’ (C ...

Use of grafted seedling increased in greenhouses due to enhancement of fruit quality and increase yield where production faces with unsuitable suboptimal conditions from late fall to early spring such as low temperature, low light intensity, high humidity and salinity. The study was conducted to de ...

Abstract:
... Grafting is a method of asexual plant propagation that joins stems of two different plants so as to live together and grow as one plant. Normally grafting has been largely applied to propagate trees that are not able to root easily by cuttings and whose own root system is not strong enough or resistant to several soil-borne pathogens. Now, grafting is used for vegetable crops, such as solanaceous ...

Abstract:
... Sudden wilt of melons induced by Monosporascus cannonballus is a worldwide problem, mainly in arid and semi-arid regions. Soil disinfestation by fumigation with methyl bromide is a common and very effective treatment for disease control. However, methyl bromide is expected to be banned from use within the next 5 to 10 years; therefore, alternative measures for disease management are urgently neede ...
