‘Sugar Baby’ watermelon plant viability and vine lengths, end-of-season root fresh weights, root galling indices, and Meloidogyne incognita (RKN) egg and second-stage juvenile (J2) populations in a 2008 microplot trial. Treatments included Pseudomonas fluorescens isolates Clinto 1R and Wayne 1R, applied individually as root dips at transplant, RKN, and the Fusarium wilt pathogen Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. niveum (Fon). Watermelon seedlings were transplanted into microplots in Salisbury, MD, on June 25.
