Overview

Evaluation of 12 genotypes each of watermelon and melon against Meloidogyne species indicates varying resistance levels.

Key Points

  • All tested genotypes showed varying degrees of susceptibility to root-knot nematodes, with no complete resistance found.
  • Kav-216 (melon) and Kar-96 (watermelon) demonstrated partial tolerance against Meloidogyne javanica races 1 and 3.
  • The study conducted between 2017 and 2020 aimed at identifying resistant genotypes in the Çukurova region.
  • Findings support breeding programmes for resistance against nematodes using identified varieties.
