The right rootstock can make all the difference.

Tri-Hishtil works with growers to match rootstock options with the right variety, cultural practice, and field challenges. For grafted watermelon plants, rootstock options include interspecific hybrid squash and Carolina Strongback, with benefits that may include strong vigor, improved disease resistance, and rootstock-dependent nematode resistance.

Grafted plants help growers build a stronger foundation for the season, supporting reduced susceptibility to soil-borne diseases, improved plant vigor, positive yield potential, and better crop performance.
