Abstract
Effects of grafted watermelon with iterstock,traditional grafted watermelon and self-root watermelon on plant growth and fruit quality were studied by using Jingxin No.2 watermelon as the scion,the Elisabeth melon as the interstock,and Degaotiezhu pumpkin as the rootstock.The results showed that grafted watermelon with melon interstock grew better than self-rootstock.The chlorophyll contents and root vigor in interstock were higher than in self-root watermelon.The mass fraction of soluble solids,soluble sugar and vitamin C of the fruit in the interstock grafting were significantly higher than in traditional grafted watermelon,whereas the titratable acid content was obviously lower.Keeping two leaves of the melon interstock had more significant effects on the fruit quality of grafted watermelon,and this treatment increased the content of soluble protein.Above all,the results showed that grafting with melon interstock could significantly improve the fruit quality of watermelon as well as keep high growth vigor of traditional grafting.
