Which rootstock should be selected for watermelon grafting

Watermelon avoid continuous cropping, can overcome the continuous obstacles by grafting cultivation. At present, there are pumpkin, gourd and other main rootstocks for watermelon. Many farmers have different opinions on how to choose rootstocks.

Yang Lihua, Taocheng Township, Fuling County: I feel that using gourds and picking melons is better. Use them as rootstocks. The grafting rate is high and incompatible phenomena rarely occur. In the spring of last year, I used gourds as grafts to graft watermelons, and the survival rate was above 99%. The pumpkin has a poor affinity and low survival rate of grafting, especially in the case of cloudy days, the graft survival rate is sometimes less than 50%. Moreover, the use of pumpkins as rootstocks can make them more prosperous and difficult to sit on melons, and they need to prepare a large number of seedlings, which is too costly.

Liu Xue used in Yangcheng Town, Luancheng County: Although grafting watermelon with gourds, the survival rate is high, but the gourd itself has the characteristics of not being able to endure high temperatures and poor disease resistance. If the growth period is again on rainy days, it is easy to die. The watermelons that I grafted with white pumpkins have a very strong comprehensive resistance to disease, especially the ability to resist the wilt disease of melons. Few occurrences of blight of watermelons occur.

At the present time, the melon farmers in our province generally use gourds as rootstocks for grafting watermelons, but the taste of watermelons is light, and with the expansion of planting area and excessive use of pesticides, the disease resistance of watermelons is getting worse and worse. The output is worse than a year. . Although the affinity of pumpkin is poor, disease resistance, cold resistance and growth are better than other rootstocks. With the improvement of grafting technology, graft survival rate will certainly increase. The melon farmer may wish to select the rootstock most suitable for his own watermelon variety according to the conditions of the local booth and market conditions.
