Abstract:

The effects of five different white seed pumpkin stocks on growth，yield and quality of grafted muskmelon variety‘XinShengYu’were studied. The results showed that the growth of the grafted combination seedlings were better than that of the own-rooted muskmelon seedlings. The incidence of Fusarium oxysporumf sp.Cucumerinum on grafted muskmelon plant was reduced. There was significant difference between the yield of grafted muskmelon and the own-rooted muskmelon. The grafted muskmelon had lower soluble sugar content but higher Vitamin C content than the own-rooted muskmelon. According to the comprehensive evaluation， ‘Nanzhen 1’stock and ‘zhuang shi’stock could be recommended as the good rootstock for XinShengYu’muskmelon.
