Notas:
Many vegetable production regions in the southwestern US are strictly
regulated on water use. In addition, demand for high quality and nutritious
vegetables has increased. This study was performed to explore the effects of deficit
irrigation on yield, fruit quality and lycopene content of red-fleshed diploid and
triploid watermelon (Citrullus lanatus (Thunb) Matsum & Nakai) cultivars.
Irrigation treatments were 1.0, 0.75 and 0.5 evapotranspiration (ET) rates. Cultivars
used were ?Summer Flavor 710?, ?RWW 8036?, ?Allsweet?, ?Sugarlee?, and ?SWD
7302? (diploids) and ?Summer Sweet 5244...
