Abstract

Grafting could reduce the obstacle effect of continuous cropping on melon. Melon was grafted two squash varieties and oriental pickling melon as rootstocks. When the melon seedlings were cultured with medium that had been used for continuous cropping twice, the medium exerted a significant inhibitory effect on the growth of both grafted and un-grafted seedlings, while the growth of the grafted seedlings was still better than that of the un-grafted seedlings. The grafted seedlings had a larger leaf area and greater above-ground fresh and dry weights. Using HPLC to analyze the phenolic compounds in the medium, the results showed that medium used for un-grafted melons mainly contained gallic acid and vanillic acid, and medium used for grafted melons mainly contained gallic acid and m-hydroxybenzoic acid. In terms of the level of total phenolic compounds, medium-cultured grafted melon produced using squash ‘Xin Tu Zuo’ as the rootstock had the highest content, followed by un-grafted plants and those that used oriental pickling melon ‘Hwi Pei’ as the rootstock, which had similar levels of total phenolic compounds; melon produced using squash ‘Zhuang Shi’ as the rootstock had the lowest content. In this study, the factor inhibited melon plant growth in continuous media was identified.
