- Intervention effect Different grafts significantly affected the assessed watermelon properties.
- Intervention effect Appropriate dual or threefold rootstock grafting improved watermelon survival.
- Intervention effect A bottle gourd and pumpkin rootstock enhanced watermelon growth potential.
- Intervention effect A bottle gourd and pumpkin rootstock lowered wilt incidence in watermelon.
- Intervention effect Watermelon fruit weight with the combined rootstock was intermediate between the single rootstocks.
- Intervention effect Pumpkin rootstock yielded more per plot than bottle gourd rootstock.
- Observation Fruit on pumpkin rootstock had low soluble solids content.
