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. |
