“…Such negative correlation between fruit and seed size and plant's fruit load could be attributed to the regulatory behavior of plants, mainly due to external resources limitation. Such observations are widely reported for cucurbits (Nerson, 2005;Ban et al, 2006).…”

a b s t r a c tTo set up a rational collecting strategy for germplasm of the edible-seeded cucurbit Cucumeropsis mannii, a study was conducted using 24 morphological and seven putative enzyme markers to determine the intra-specific variability from 16 and 22 accessions (representing three cultivars), respectively. The analysis of variance, showed a significant difference between the three cultivars. Principal component analysis pointed out a variation among individuals, mainly on the basis of flower, fruit, and seed size. Dendrogram with UPGMA method allowed clustering of the cultivars. Genetic diversity indices estimated equalled: 9.96% for the proportion of polymorphic loci (P), 1.10 for the number of alleles (A) and 0.023 for observed heterozygosity (H o ). The level of the within accessions genetic diversity (H S ¼ 0.078) was higher than among accessions (D ST ¼ 0.042). Nei's genetic distances between the three cultivars were also low (0.079-0.147), indicating a high degree of similarity of the analysed cultivars.Crown

“…This might be due to the combined effect of cultivars, wider spacing, polyhouse cultivation and timely and uniformly availability of all the nutrients through the developed automated fertigation system. The present results are in agreement with the findings of Arora et al,(2006) in greenhouse grown tomato; Ban et al, (2006) in melons.…”

“…However, the fruit weight could be negatively impacted by high plant densities (Brinen et al, 1979;Sanders et al, 1999;Motsenbocker and Arancibia, 2002;Goreta et al, 2005). Research on diverse vegetable crops have shown that yield increases linearly when the in-row plant spacing is reduced (Knavel, 1988;Žnidarčič and Osvald, 1999;Ban et al, 2006).…”

Worldwide, a significant increase in watermelon (Citrullus lanatus [Thunb.] Matsum. & Nakai) growing areas has been registered in the last few years. In-row plant spacing has a significant effect on the growth and yield of watermelon, and can enhance competition for water and nutrients. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of in-row plant spacing however, the fruit weight was not affected by mycorrhizal inoculation during early or total harvest. In this study, an in-row plant spacing of 1.0 m provided the best early and total yield while maintaining high fruit weight. The growth and yield enhancement of watermelon due to mycorrhizal colonization was not consistent; therefore, mycorrhizal inoculation could not be recommended as a standard production practice.
