Improved pollinator and method for increasing seedless watermelon production

摘要

"PERFECT POLLINATOR AND METHOD FOR INCREASING SEED-FREE WATER PRODUCTION". The present invention relates to an improved diploid pollinating watermelon plant and a method used to maximize the production of triploid seedless watermelon plants per area. The improved pollinating watermelon plant of the invention is also a hybrid variety, an open pollinated variety or a synthetic variety, which exhibits the characteristics of small leaves and fruits with brittle bark, which separate when the fruit becomes excessively ripe or breaks down. when relatively small physical forces are applied. The watermelon plant of the invention is also preferably characterized by the prolonged duration of flowering, thereby increasing the number of triploid watermelon flowers that are pollinated and bear fruit. The method for producing a seedless watermelon fruit includes the steps of providing a diploid pollinating watermelon plant, which prolongs the flowering time of the pollinating plant, while reducing the number of such plants that are required to pollinate. the same number of triploid watermelon plants and maximizes the dispersion of the pollinating watermelon plant throughout the field of triploid watermelon plants.
