Abstract:Watermelon is one of the most commonly grown vegetable crops worldwide due to the economic and nutritional importance of its fruits. The yield and quality of watermelon fruits are affected by constant attacks from pests, diseases, and weeds throughout all phenological stages of the crop.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of different spray nozzles (XR110015 and MGA60015)… Show more
