More Information
Summary:Resistant cucurbit rootstocks provided an effective control measure for Fusarium wilt of watermelon caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. niveum in Nghe An province, Vietnam. The hybrid cultivar, Bulrojangsaeng ( Lagenaria siceraria ) was the most suitable rootstock on all criteria but the seed is expensive. Therefore, the local Bau trang cultivar ( L. siceraria ) was adopted by farmers as the preferred rootstock on the basis of the low-cost seed. The grafting process is described and illustrated.
