“…The use of rootstocks in watermelon can rapidly transfer nutrients from the soil to the pen, avoid soil diseases and increase plant tolerance in soil salinity, low soil temperatures and moist soil conditions (Salam et al 2002;Claudio et al 2019;Tripodi et al 2019). The type of rootstock affects plant growth, yield and fruit quality (Yetişir et al 2003;El-Kersh et al 2016;Fallik et al 2016;Fredes et al 2016;Huang et al 2016;Maršić et al 2016;Özdemir et al 2016;Zaaroor et al 2016;Liu et al 2017;Ceylan et al 2018;Gaion et al 2018;Zhong et al 2018;Meng et al 2019;Siamak & Paolo 2019;Zhang et al 2019) and also seed yield and qualities (Kombo & Sari 2019;Hussein & Sari 2020).…”

In the study, two commercial Cucurbita maxima×Cucurbita moschata hybrid (Nun9075 and TZ148), Lagenaria spp. hybrid (Argentario) and one local Lagenaria spp. genotype (3335) and one Citrullus amarus genotype (PI 296341) were used as rootstocks. The male and female parents of two watermelon hybrids (187×125 and 11×162) were used as scions. Ungrafted plants formed the control group and also each parent was grafted on itself. Male parents were used for pollen measurements. Fruit weight, fruit height, fruit diameter, fruit rind thickness, total soluble solid content, total number of seeds, total seed weight and 1000 seeds’ weight and seed vigor tests were carried out in fruits of female parents crossed with male parents grafted onto the same rootstock. According to results of this study, the highest pollen production was obtained from Argentario while in terms of pollen germination and pollen viability there was no difference between applications in general. It was determined that grafting on Argentario and 3335 rootstocks increased fruit height, fruit diameter, fruit rind thickness, and the amount of total soluble solid, and the best performing rootstocks in terms of fruit weight were found to be Argentario, 3335, TZ148 and NUN9075. The highest seed number, seed weight and 1000 seeds weight were obtained from those grafted on TZ148 and NUN9075 rootstocks. Although variable results were obtained in terms of early germination, there was no rootstock that came to the fore in general. There was no difference between the rootstocks regarding accelerated aging test and controlled deterioration test.
