Other claims from this paper (10)
- Intervention effect Wild watermelon rootstocks substantially improved plant growth of watermelon.
- Intervention effect Wild watermelon rootstocks substantially improved photosynthesis rate, stomatal conductivity and intercellular CO2 concentration of watermelon.
- Intervention effect Wild watermelon rootstocks substantially improved transpiration rate, nitrogen uptake efficiency and nitrogen use efficiency of watermelon.
- Intervention effect Wild watermelon rootstocks substantially improved nitrogen utilization efficiency of watermelon.
- Intervention effect NUE of watermelon grafted onto ZXG-945 was improved by up to 67% at optimum N supply.
- Intervention effect NUE of watermelon grafted onto ZXG-1250 was improved by up to 77% at optimum N supply.
- Intervention effect NUE of watermelon grafted onto ZXG-941 was improved by up to 168% at optimum N supply.
- Intervention effect At low N supply, NUE of watermelon grafted onto ZXG-1558 was improved by up to 104%.
- Intervention effect At low N supply, NUE of watermelon grafted onto ZXG-516 was improved by up to 175%.
- Mechanism The improved nitrogen use efficiency of grafted watermelon could be attributed to better N uptake efficiency of wild rootstocks.
