Other claims from this paper (3)
- Observation Disease incidence differed significantly among melon cultivars, between grafted and non-grafted plants, and between seasons.
- Intervention effect Grafting prevented yield losses more effectively in spring than in fall.
- Recommendation More emphasis on rootstocks and agrotechniques is needed for successful commercial cultivation of grafted melons in fall.
