INFLUENCE OF DIFFERENT GROWING CONDITIONS ON YIELD PARAMETERS OF WATERMELON (Citrullus lanatus) CULTIVATION VAR. KIRAN
Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 9, Issue 7
Abstract
The field experiments were conducted to study the performance of watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) under both open field and polyhouse condition at the Division of Horticulture, UAS, Bangalore. The experiment was laid out in Factorial randomized complete block design with two main and sub treatments with five replications. The results revealed that the plants grown under polyhouse recorded significantly higher number of fruits plant-1 (2.92 fruits), maximum fruit weight plant-1 (2.54 kg), maximum fruit yield plant-1 (4.5 kg), estimated fruit yield per hectare (92.3 t ha-1), maximum fruit length (20.15 cm), maximum fruit circumference (45.18 cm), maximum fruit volume (2.44 l), maximum pulp weight fruit-1 (1.93 kg), minimum rind thickness fruit-1 (1.39 cm) and maximum rind to pulp ratio (3.18). From this investigation it can be concluded that significant results were noticed in watermelon var. Kiran with respect to growth parameters when the plants were grown under polyhouse.
