Lagenaria siceraria (Molina) Standl.
Lagenaria siceraria is used as a rootstock for cucurbits, providing resistance to Fusarium wilt and maintaining root functionality in low soil temperatures.
In the reference 19 varieties crop Calabash, where this is mentioned in the description.
The use of Lagenaria as a rootstock for watermelon, cucumber, and melon provides high resistance to Fusarium wilt caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. niveum, as well as tolerance to root-knot nematodes. The Lagenaria root system maintains its functionality at lower soil temperatures, where the watermelon's own roots slow their growth.
This rootstock is characterized by moderate vigor, which contributes to an earlier onset of the fruiting phase in grafted plants compared to the use of interspecific squash hybrids. Lagenaria has high anatomical compatibility with watermelon; however, when working with melon, careful selection of a compatible genotype is required.
