Abstract: For selecting medium-sized watermelon cultivars that were suitable for cultivation in Xiangshui county with good quality and high yield, using native general watermelon cultivar 'Zaojia 84-24' as contrast, comparison test of 5 medium-sized watermelon cultivars was carried out by protected cultivation of spring planting to compare growth potential, quality, yield and disease resistance. The results showed that 'Meidu' and 'Suchuang No.3' behaved excellent high yield and good quality in fruit, which could be planted in Xiangshui. The 'Shenmi 968' and 'Jianianhua No.5' existed a shortage of yield or quality, which needed further tests. The yield and quality of 'Qilin 84-24' were not equal to 'Zaojia 84-24', so it should not be widely promoted in Xiangshui. |
