Effect of cultural practices and fungicides on Phytophthora fruit rot of watermelon in the Carolinas

Kousik, C. S., Adams, M. L., Jester, W. R., Hassell, R., Harrison, H. F., & Holmes, G. J. (2011, May 8). Crop Protection.

By: C. Kousik *, M. Adams n, W. Jester n, R. Hassell*, H. Harrison* & G. Holmes n

author keywords: Citrullus lanatus; Chemical control; Fruit rot; Oomycete; Phytophthora capsici; Fungicide
topics (OpenAlex): Plant Pathogens and Resistance; Plant Disease Resistance and Genetics; Plant Pathogens and Fungal Diseases
TL;DR: Effective control of Phytophthora fruit rot of watermelon will require an integrated management strategy that includes well-drained fields, water management and crop rotation in addition to fungicides. (via Semantic Scholar)

In-row Distance in Triploid Miniwatermelon Cultivars Affects Yield and Quality in Diverse Environments in the Southeastern United States

Hassell, R. L., Schultheis, J. R., Jester, W. R., Olson, S. M., & Miller, G. A. (2009, January 1). HortTechnology.

By: R. Hassell*, J. Schultheis n, W. Jester n, S. Olson* & G. Miller*

author keywords: Citrullus lanatus; seedless watermelon; location effect; genetic expression; population; plant density
topics (OpenAlex): Irrigation Practices and Water Management; Berry genetics and cultivation research; Plant Disease Management Techniques
TL;DR: Quality effects were more apparent with ‘Mohican’ and ‘Xite’, as they were more responsive to location than ‘Petite Perfection”, suggesting that some cultivars responded differently at each of the four locations. (via Semantic Scholar)

2007 article

First Report of Sweet potato chlorotic stunt virus, a Component of Sweetpotato Virus Disease, in North Carolina

Abad, J. A., Parks, E. J., New, S. L., Fuentes, S., Jester, W., & Moyer, J. W. (2007, March 1). Plant Disease.

By: J. Abad n, E. Parks n, S. New n, S. Fuentes *, W. Jester n & J. Moyer n

topics (OpenAlex): Plant Virus Research Studies; Plant and Fungal Interactions Research; Plant Disease Resistance and Genetics
TL;DR: SPCSV isolates from East Africa and West Africa clusters were sufficiently distant phylogenetically to suggest that they may correspond to two different criniviruses, with an average similarity between the populations of 78.14% and an average within the populations above 89%.

2007 article

Yield and Quality of Triploid Miniwatermelon Cultivars and Experimental Hybrids in Diverse Environments in the Southeastern United States

Hassell, R. L., Schultheis, J. R., Jester, W. R., Olson, S. M., Maynard, D. N., & Miller, G. A. (2007, January 1). HortTechnology.

By: R. Hassell*, J. Schultheis n, W. Jester n, S. Olson*, D. Maynard* & G. Miller*

topics (OpenAlex): Advances in Cucurbitaceae Research; Plant Disease Management Techniques
TL;DR: This study evaluated miniwatermelon cultivars/experimental hybrids (cultigens) for yield, quality, and adaptability in various growing environments to find five cultigens that provided consistently high soluble solids readings at each location: Master, RWT 8162, Betsy, Bobbie, and Bibo.
