Other claims from this paper (6)
- Intervention effect Watermelon yield under 40% irrigation in renovated trenches was almost equal to yield under full irrigation.
- Intervention effect The yield under both irrigated methods exceeded yield under traditional trenches without irrigation.
- Intervention effect Renovated trenches improved watermelon fruit quality over traditional trenches.
- Intervention effect Grafting onto rootstocks increased vegetative growth traits.
- Intervention effect Renovated drip trenches with grafting doubled irrigation water use efficiency compared with drip irrigated beds.
- Recommendation The authors recommend renovated drip trenches plus grafting to maximize watermelon yield, quality and water use efficiency.
