“…The qualitative characters including fruit stem shape, tendril, tendril branching, leaf margin, leaf shape, sex type and flower colour were constant for all accessions. This was consistent with the results of Huh et al (2008) on Korean and Turkish watermelon populations and Aruah et al (2010) on variations among some Nigerian Cucurbita landraces. The greatest diversity was observed in fruit characters especially fruit shape, fruit colour and inflorescence type.…”

“…Morphological study is an essential tool for the assessment of diversity and classification. Even today, morphological study is being considered and has been deployed as an initial step for cultivar identification and diversity assessment with watermelon (Huh et al, 2008), sweet potato (Elameen et al, 2010) and agave (Rodrguez et al, 2009). Furthermore, important horticultural characters are reported to be controlled by multiple genes (Campos et al, 2005, Liu andDeng 2007) and are of low heritability.…”

Based on morphological characterization, the performance of eighteen sweet orange, (Citrus sinensis Obseck) cultivars were evaluated. On the basis of two year data, the maximum mean fruit weight (316.25 gm) was recorded in Moro, while the maximum mean fruit diameter and mean fruit length was recorded in Mosambi and Olinda Valencia (87.32 mm and 81.33 mm, respectively). Albedo thickness was recorded maximum in Ruby Nucellar (3.42 mm). Highest total soluble solids was recorded in cultivar Moro (11.45 0 brix), while the titratable acidity was recorded maximum in Valencia Calizonida (1.21 %). Fruit axis diameter and Fruit rind thickness were recorded maximum in Rhode Red Valencia and Vernia (15.12 mm and 8.11 mm, respectively). In the variability studies, the maximum genotypic coefficient of variance (GCV) and phenotypic coefficient of variance (PCV) was recorded maximum for titratable acidity (27.88 and 27.94, respectively) followed by albedo thickness (23.77 and 23.78, respectively) and fruit weight (21.52 and 21.67, respectively). Genetic advance per cent of mean was recorded for titratable acidity (57.31%) followed by albedo thickness (48.96 %) and fruit weight (44.03 %) suggesting that further selection will be effective for improvement in these traits.

“…Watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) is a member of the cucurbit family commonly referred to as Cucurbitaceae (Huh, Solmaz & Sari, 2008); a warm-season crop related to cantaloupe, squash, cucumber and pumpkin (Georage, Darbie & Kelley, 2000). It is an important horticultural crop, mostly known for its sweet and juicy fruit, grown commercially in areas with long frost-free warm climates all over the world (Jeffrey, 2001;Prohens & Nuez, 2008).…”

Watermelon is one of the most sought-after fruits in tropical Africa because of its delicious taste and nutritional value. Owing to its increasing high demand among consumers, this study analyzes its marketing performance in terms of market structure, marketing margin, marketing efficiency, and profitability. Multi-stage sampling technique was employed in the selection of 160 respondents used in the study. Primary data were collected using a set of well-structured and pre-tested questionnaire. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics, gini coefficient model, net marketing income, and marketing efficiency index. The result of the study shows high level of income inequalities (sales margin) in the distribution of income amongst watermelon marketers and high concentration of watermelon marketers in the study area which indicated high inefficiency in the market structure. The result on market structure showed that there were no barriers to entry at the retail level but there are some barriers at the wholesale level. Profitability analysis showed that the watermelon enterprise is viable. High perishability, lack of credit facilities, and price fluctuations were major challenges that confronted all the marketers in watermelon enterprise. The study recommends provision of credit facilities and infrastructural improvements to reduce the constraints faced by marketers. 55 2012). Therefore, increase in marketing activity of watermelon would enhance the provision of more and better produce at low price to increased number of people which would enable marketers to generate more income and increase welfare. The marketing channel of watermelon is an important part of its cost, and its location to the market may shorten the path of the distribution from producers to consumers and makes the marketing process simple and efficient (Egbuna, 2009). Efficiency in the marketing of watermelon is borne on the platter of an efficient market information provision (Oguntola, 2006). In fruit marketing, farmers and marketers determine the flow of information from the farm to the market place and this consequently influences the market performance.Market performance is an appraisal of the process of marketing and how successful its aims and objectives are accomplished (Eronmwon, Alufohai & Ada-Okungbowa, 2014). Olukosi et al. (2005) defined market performance as the appraisal of the extent to which the interactions of buyers and sellers in a market facilitate and stimulate outcomes that are consistent with social purposes. It is the assessment of how well the agricultural and food system are carried out and how successful its aims are accomplished and a reflection of the impact of structure and conducts on product prices, costs and the volume and quantity of output (Hill, 1997). The performance of a market represents the economic result of structure and conducts and generally consists of an analysis of progressiveness, equity, allocative and pricing efficiency (Harrison, Henley, Riley & Schafter, 1975;Enete, 1999). Hence, the marketing...
