Currently,plant quarantine,crop rotation,grafting,selection and application of resistant variety,use of healthy seeds and seedlings,and chemical control are all included in the control system of watermelon and melon. However,varieties with resistance to disease and insect are still lacking,and the chemicals are still improperly applied.
