Abstract:This paper studied the impact of aeration irrigation on growth,yield and quality of muskmelon grown in a greenhouse. Five oxygations were examined: irrigation without oxygen (T1), irrigating with oxygen twice per day(T2),irrigation with oxygen once per day(T3),irrigation with oxygen once per two days(T4),and irri-gating with oxygen once per three days(T5).The results showed that compared with the control T1,oxygation promoted root growth,leaf photosynthesis,fruit quality and yield,as well as water use efficiency.There were no significant differences in the main root length,soluble sugar content and single fruit weight between T2 and T3. The root volume,the root activity,the mass fraction of total soluble sugar and solid content in fruit are compara-ble between T3 and T5. The T4 gave the best main root length, photosynthetic rate, soluble sugar content, Vc content,organic acid content,yield and water use efficiency,and is hence the best oxygation for the greenhouse muskmelon.
