Resistance of cucurbita rootstocks to nematodes and compatibility of grafting with net melonNematodes severely attack net melon plants under protected cultivation conditions. The objective of this research was to select rootstocks with resistance to Meloidogyne incognita and M. javanica. and musk cucumber (Sicana odorifera). To evaluate the resistance, seedlings were transplanted to pots and the root inoculated with 3,000 eggs and second stage juveniles of M. incognita and M. javanica. Fifty days after the inoculation, the plants were evaluated for nematode resistance by means of the reproduction factor. The grafting compatibility between net melon cvs. Bonus no. 2 and Fantasy and the rootstocks previously characterized as resistant were evaluated by means of 60 graftings. CNPH 01-962, CNPH 01-963 and melon 'Gaucho Redondo', were considered resistant to M. incognita. Melon 'Redondo Amarelo', watermelon 'Charleston Gray', watermelon Progênie da Coréia, Trichosanthes cucumerins were considered resistant to M. javanica. Benincasa hispida was resistant to M. javanica and M. incognita. The compatibility between net melons and resistant rootstocks was higher than 98%.

Due to the few studies about grafting in net melon, in order to obtain better control of soil pathogens, the aim of the present study was to evaluate 16 genotypes of Cucurbitaceae: Benincasa hispida, Luffa cylindrica, pumpkin 'Jacarezinho', pumpkin 'Menina Brasileira', squash 'Exposição', squash 'Coroa', pumpkin 'Canhão Seca', pumpkin 'Squash', pumpkin 'Enrrugado Verde', pumpkin 'Mini Paulista', pumpkin 'Goianinha', watermelon 'Charleston Gray', melon 'Rendondo Gaucho', melon 'Redondo Amarelo', cucumber 'Caipira HS' and cucumber 'Caipira Rubi', regarding to compatibility of grafting in net melon and resistance to Meloidogyne incognita, based on the reproduction factor (RF), according to Oostenbrink (1966). To assess resistance, the seedlings were transplanted to ceramic pots and inoculated with 300/mL eggs and/or second stage juveniles of M. incognita. At 50 days after transplanting, the plants were removed from the pots and the resistance was evaluated. The compatibility between resistant rootstock and grafts of net melon was determined by performing simple cleft grafting, in a commercial net melon hybrid of great market acceptance and susceptible to M. incognita (Bonus no. 2). The genotypes Luffa cylindrica, pumpkin 'Goianinha', pumpkin 'Mini-Paulista', melon 'Redondo Amarelo', watermelon 'Charleston Gray' are resistant to the nematode M. incognita. The better compatibilities occurred with the rootstocks melon 'Amarelo', which presented 100% of success, followed by pumpkin 'Mini-Paulista' with 94%. On the other hand, Sponge gourd, watermelon 'Charleston Gray' and pumpkin 'Goianinha' showed low graft take percentages of 66%, 62% and 50%, respectively.

RESUMO-A utilização de porta-enxertos resistentes a condições adversas é uma alternativa no controle de doenças, e a enxertia tem-se destacado no controle de patógenos habitantes de solo de diversas frutas e olerícolas. Diante disto, o presente trabalho teve por objetivos selecionar porta-enxertos resistentes ao cancro da haste e avaliar seus efeitos na produtividade de melão-rendilhado. Para a seleção de genótipos resistentes à Didymella bryoniae, foram utilizados 17 genótipos de cucurbitáceas. Dentre estes, apenas Melancia-Charleston-Gray e Melão-Redondo-Amarelo foram suscetíveis ao patógeno. Para efeitos da produtividade, foram enxertados sobre os genótipos resistentes, melão-rendilhado 'Bônus n° 2'. O portaenxerto Benincasa hispida é o mais indicado para melão-rendilhado.

ROOTSTOCKS SELETION TO GRUMMY STEM BLIGHT RESISTANCE AND THEIR EFFECT ON THE YIELD OF MELON'BONUS 'BONUS Nº 2'ABSTRACT-The utilization of resistant rootstocks to adverse conditions is an alternative on disease control and the grafting has been detached on the soil pathogen inhabitant control of many fruits and vegetables. The objective of the present research was the selection of resistantes rootstocks to gummy stem blight and evaluates their effects on production of lancewok melon. For the selection of resistance genotypes to D. bryoniae, was utilized 17 cucurbits genotypes. Only the rootstocks: Watermelon Charleston Gray and Round Melon Yellow showed susceptible to the pathogen. For the production effects, was grafted under resistance genotypes, 'Bonus n° 2'. The Benicia hispid rootstock is the most indicated to melon.
