Watermelon [Citrullus lanatus (Thunb.) Matsum. & Nakai] is one of the Cucurbitaceae species and subtropical crops that exhibit chilling injury (CI) when exposed to low temperatures. Watermelon seedlings were tested for chilling tolerance using methods modified from cucumber. Three experiments were conducted using different combinations of chilling durations of 6, 12, 24, or 36 hours and chillin...

Over the years, use of organic materials in farming has reduced due to increase chemical fertilizers which are rich readily available plant nutrients. Intensive may have depressing effect on yield watermelon. The field experiment were conducted at Experimental Clinic Laboratory “Selection vegetable and melon crops” laboratory “Biosafety Biocontrol Regional Branch “Kainar” LLP “Kazakh Research I...

The field experiment conducted at Rice Research Station, Tirur, Tiruvallur District of Tamil Nadu Agricultural University aimed to evaluate the performance rice-based cropping sequences cucurbits in district. Five were evaluated for - Ashgourd, Muskmelon, Cucumber, Pumpkin and Watermelon. study focused on post samba season (December March), when water scarcity results low yields rice cultivatio...

Watermelon produces many byproducts (watermelon rind and skin) even though those components contain various bioactive compounds, including citrulline. This study evaluated the citrulline concentration, total phenolic content, antioxidant activity (DPPH FRAP assays) of different parts watermelon investigated bioavailability from using an in vitro human intestinal epithelial Caco-2 cell monolayer...

The present field experiment was carried out during 2021-2022 at the Vegetable Research Farm, Department of Horticulture, Sam Higginbottom University Agriculture Technology and Sciences, Prayagraj. laid in Randomized Block Design with three replications nine treatments. investigation a view to study effect different mulching material on growth, yield quality watermelon. results revealed that pl...

vibration generated by vehicles during road transport has an important effect on the agricultural products damage process, particularly vegetable and fruit. modulus of elasticity is one of the most important mechanical properties of fruits and its variation can be described as one of the damage criteria during transportation. this research was conducted to evaluate the effects of vibration para...

Powdery mildew [Podosphaera xanthii (Castagne) Braun & Shishkoff (syn. Sphaerotheca fuliginea auct. p.p.)] is now a common disease on watermelon [Citrullus lanatus (Thunb.) Matsum. & Nakai] in the United States. In this study, the entire available U.S. Plant Introduction collection of Citrullus Schrad. ex Eckl. & Zeyh. species was evaluated for resistance to P. xanthii race 1W. The collection c...

Bacterial fruit blotch (BFB) of melons is a seed-borne disease caused by Acidovorax citrulli. We determined the draft genome of A. citrulli Tw6. The strain was isolated from a watermelon collected from Beijing, China. The A. citrulli Tw6 genome contains 5,080,614 bp and has a G+C content of 68.7 mol%.
