Results on a Grafted Watermelon Organic Culture From Bucharest for Pollution Reduction and Efficient Use of Land Destined to Urban Research and Education

Identification of Some Rootstocks for Watermelon Cultures From Romania

“…Kurum et al (2017) showed that the average watermelon yield increased between 17.45% and 52.56% compared to the non-grafted system. Some researchers quoted by Doltu et al (2018) showed that the grafting influenced the production: the highest unit production and mean weight were obtained with RS 841, which yielded 12013 kg/m 2 in combination x Pacio. With Paquito, RS 841 yielded 10623 kg/m 2 while the respective control value was 6855 kg/m 2 (Leoni et al, 1990); fruit yield was positively influenced by grafting (Ozlem et al, 2007); rootstock-scion combination affected plant growth and fruit yield (Petropoulos et al, 2004).…”

“…Specialists in grafting of cucurbits have researched some planting densities in the cultivation of grafted watermelons: 1980 -3090 plants/ha (Milles et al, 2016), 3500 plants/ha (Bogoescu et al, 2011), 3600 plants/ha (Petropoulos et al, 2014), 4762 plante/ha (2000 plants/feddan) (Abd El-Wanis et al, 2013), 5000 plants/ha (Torres et al, 2015). In the researched watermelons, some researchers (Bogoescu et al, 2011;Kurum et al, 2017;Doltu et al, 2018) showed that the average fruit yield from the grafted watermelons is higher compared to non-grafted watermelons.…”
