Control of Fusarium Wilt of Watermelon with the Root-Stock Grafting of Sicyos angulatus L.

Watermelon plants grafted with the root-stock of wild-cucumber (Sicyos angulatus) were not infected by Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. niveum in pot inoculation and infected fields tests. Controlling efficacy of the root-stock grafting with S. angulatus on Fusarium wilt of watermelon was more excellent than that of the root-stock grafting with Lagenaria siceraria. The isolates of Fusarium oxysprum from cucurbitaceae plants had a certain host-specific pathogenicity, but they did not express the absolute one forma specialis-one host-plant phenomenon by the root dipping inoculation. The pathogenic isolates of Fusarium oxysproum from cucurbitaceae crops did not infect the root-stock plant such as S. angulatus, L. siceraria and Cucurbita ficifolia. The fast-wilting of watermelon caused by uncertain agents was observed in watermelon plant grafted with L. siceraria in the continuously cropping fields, but it was not observed in watermelon plants grafted with S. angulatus in the same fields.
