1 Productivity and Characteristics of 23 Seedless Watermelon Cultivars at Three Missouri Locations in 2011 and 2012 Andrew L. Thomas 1, Catherine A. Bohnert 2, Nahshon A. Bishop 2, Steven Kirk 2, Sarah S. Becker 2, Patrick L. Byers 3, Ryan L. Meeks 1,2, Valen J. Tanner 1,2, and Sanjun Gu 2 1 University of Missouri Southwest Research Center, Mt. Vernon 2 Lincoln University, Jefferson City, Missouri 3 University of Missouri Cooperative Extension Service, Springfield This report summarizes results from seedless watermelon [Citrullus lanatus (Thunb.)] trials conducted at three diverse Missouri locations in 2011 and A total of 23 cultivars from three seed companies were evaluated over the two years; however, not all cultivars were evaluated at all sites both years. Materials and Methods Field trials of seedless watermelon were established in 2011 at the University of Missouri s Southwest Research Center near Mt. Vernon in southwest Missouri ( , ), and at three Missouri sites in 2012: Mt. Vernon, plus Lincoln University s Carver Farm at Jefferson City in central Missouri ( , ), and a private farm (Brian Hays) near Malden in the Boot-heel region of southeast Missouri ( , ). The soils at the three sites are a Creldon silt loam, Freeburg/Hartville silt loam, and Bosket fine sandy loam, respectively. The site in Missouri s Boot-heel is a well-known watermelon-growing region. Twenty-three seedless watermelon cultivars from Abbott & Cobb, Harris Seeds, and Rogers/Syngenta seed companies were chosen for this trial (Table 1). Accomplice and Gladiator were used as pollenizers for the trials in central and southwest Missouri, while Estrella was used as the pollenizer in the Boot-heel. In all cases, seeds were germinated in a greenhouse several weeks before establishing the field trials with transplants. Seeds were direct seeded in 804 inserts filled with BM7 soilless potting media and placed in a greenhouse where temperature was kept at C. In 2012, transplants were started from seeds the first week of April for the southwest location, the third week of April for the central location, and in mid-march for the Boot-heel location. Transplants went through a period of hardening before being planted in the field. Test plots were established May 26-27, 2011, and May 8-9, 2012, at the southwest site; May 21, 2012, at the central site; and May 8-9, 2012, at the Boot-heel site. Plants were spaced 3 feet apart within the row in the southwest trials, 3.5 feet apart in the central trial, and 2.5 feet apart in the Boot-heel trial. Rows were 12 feet apart at the southwest site, and 9 feet apart at the Boot-heel and central sites. Raised beds were covered with black plastic, and a single buried drip line was installed in each row in all trials. One pollenizer was planted for every four seedless vines and at both ends of a row to provide pollen. At the southwest and Boot-heel sites, a honeybee hive was located nearby. Vines were fertilized according to standard recommendations, either by fertigation or by hand, and also by foliar feeding in the Boot-heel trial. Two applications of insecticides and three of fungicides were used in the Boot-heel trial, whereas no insecticides or fungicides were used in the southwest and central Missouri trials.

2 The experiment was conducted as a completely randomized design at each site, with four replications per cultivar and four plants per replication. Harvests were conducted as fruit ripened at the southwest site, July 26-August 3, 2011, and July 3-12, Single-day harvests were conducted on August 6, 2012, in central Missouri; and on July 17, 2012, in the Boot-heel. Total fruit yields were not determined at the Boot-heel site; however, fruit were harvested from that site to compare their characteristics with fruit from the other sites. All other watermelon fruits were counted and weighed upon harvest. One fully ripe medium-size fruit from each replication plot was selected to determine fruit characteristics, including fruit diameter, fruit length, rind width, and soluble solids concentration ( o Brix) measured with a hand-held refractometer. In 2011, a fruit sensory evaluation was conducted with ripe fruit harvested directly from the southwest Missouri plots. The judges were attendees at a Watermelon Field Day and were not professionally trained sensory analysts. Participants judged taste, aroma, mouth-feel (including seedlessness), outer fruit appearance, and flesh appearance on a 1 to 5 scale with 5 being the best rating. All data were analyzed with SAS 9.3, using the general linear model for variance analyses, and with means separated by Duncan s multiple range test at the P 0.05 level. Results and Discussion Fruit characteristics from the watermelon trials at all three sites in 2012 are presented in Table 2. The Fruit weight column is not necessarily indicative of fruit yields; this is simply the mean weight of the single medium-size fruits evaluated from each replicated plot (up to 12 fruits most cases). No significant differences in fruit diameter or rind thickness were detected among the 16 cultivars or among the three sites. The cultivars Sweet Delight and WDL9408 produced the longest fruits across all three sites (24.1 and 24.0 cm, respectively), whereas Distinction produced the shortest fruits on average (20.6 cm). Soluble solids were highest in Distinction and 7387HQ (both with 12.0 o Brix), whereas Crunchy Red was the lowest at 10.2 o Brix. The majority of cultivars were not significantly different from each other in terms of soluble solids. When comparing fruit characteristics among sites, few differences were detected except that soluble solids were higher overall at the central Missouri site, with a mean of o Brix. Detailed fruit yields among 18 cultivars from the central Missouri site in 2012 are presented in Table 3. Numbers of fruits produced among cultivars were not significantly different. The highest yielders were WDL9408 and Buttercup (65.3 and 64.6 lbs from 4-plant plots, respectively), whereas the lowest yielder was Melody with 24.0 lbs from 4-plant plots. Most other cultivars did not produce yields that were significantly different from each other at this location. Summer King produced fruits that were significantly larger than all other cultivars, averaging 14.0 lbs. The smallest fruits were produced by Melody (6.7 lbs), with the other cultivars producing fruits of intermediate size with varying degrees of differences among cultivars. Table 4 summarizes two years of trials using the same 19 cultivars at the southwest Missouri site. Yields in 2011 were significantly greater than yields in The plots were established 18 days earlier in Fertilization, irrigation, and management regimens, as well as very hot and droughty conditions were otherwise similar in both years. The same field site was used both years. We did not experience any noticeable disease or pest pressure possibly resulting from using the same site two years in a row. Thus it is difficult to understand or explain why yields

3 were so much lower in The plants in 2012 simply seemed to lack vigor compared with plants in Among the cultivars grown both years at this site, 5244, 7287HQ, and Crispy Red produced the largest fruit yields (by weight) with 104, 102, and 99 lbs per 4-plant plot. The lowest yielding cultivar, which was significantly lower than all other cultivars, was 7387HQ, with only 44 lbs per 4-plant plot. Numbers of fruits per plot followed similar patterns with 5244, 7287HQ, and Crispy Red producing an average of 9.0, 8.9, and 9.0 fruit per 4-plant plot, respectively, with 7387HQ only producing 5.5 fruits per plot. Average fruit weights were significantly highest for Summer Velvet at 14.9 lbs. The smallest fruit were produced by 7387HQ at only 8.2 lbs. Over the two-year study, 7387HQ fruits were the first to ripen (July 9), with 5244 the last (July 19). Once harvest began during both years, it progressed very quickly due to extreme heat conditions and little additional differences in earliness/lateness were discernible. Results from the sensory evaluation of ripe fruits from the southwest Missouri site in 2011 are presented in Table 5. The cultivars with the highest overall rating among all sensory characteristics were 7197HQ, Troubadour, and Summer Velvet, whereas the lowest rated fruits were from Crispy Red. The same 7197HQ and Troubadour had very high results for taste and mouth-feel, whereas Summer Velvet scored higher in both outer fruit and flesh appearance. Crispy Red tended to score low in nearly all categories. Substantial and consistent differences in the performance of specific seedless watermelon cultivars from this two-year, three-site study are difficult to discern. Different cultivars certainly tend to perform differently at different sites and in different years. For example, while Crispy Red produced high yields and large fruits at the southwest site, the sensory evaluations rated that cultivar very low. Troubadour also scored very high in the sensory evaluations but performed average to low in yields and fruit characteristics overall. Nevertheless, the cultivars 5244, 7287HQ, 7197HQ, Summer Velvet, WDL9408, and Buttercup tend to stand out as very promising seedless watermelon cultivars for Missouri.
