Abstract：The seedling of‘Xizhoumi 25’Hamin melon were produced in PVC plastic trays with 32(A),50(B),72(C) cells and polystyrene foam floating trays with 136(D),and 200(E)cells to evaluate the effect of seedling production on Hami melon production. The results showed that polystyrene foam trays were better than the PVC plastic trays in seedling growth, establishment time,survival rate and flowering period after transplant. However,the effects of different density within the tray type were not obvious. The overall performance was(D)>(E)>(B)>32(A)>72(C). These differences were mainly seen in early and mid growing period,there were essentially no effects on yield and sugar content of the fruit. Overall the polystyrene foam trays were better than PVC plastic trays.
