Abstract

We studied the effect of different concentration of nutrient solution
(1NPK, 2NPK, 4NPK, 6NPK) at seedling preparation stage on seedling
growth fruit quality and yield of watermelon.
As result, we found that the nutrient solution had remarkable effect
on seedling survival ratio, whereas the better treatments were 2NPK and
4NPK.
