Statistical Evaulation of Watermelon Genotypes Exhibiting Different Features Under Stress Conditions. Fresenius Environmental Bulletin

Abstract

reflecting phenotypic differences and dissimilar groups. Thus, in addition to applying a standard statistical model using different watermelon genotypes under drought stress, a new formula was also used. The present study also suggests that according to the groupings in the statistical evaluation, the genotypes in the top groups did not yield positive results; thus, the parcel data may change according to the evaluation criteria. The use of a new evaluation model comprising comparative changes in these respective studies is more accurate. In the present study, the data for TSS (total soluble solids), average fruit weight and total yield values were evaluated using both methods of analysis. In conclusion, as a result of the standard statistical analysis, genotype nos. 325 and 26 have the best group, while the evaluation according to comparative variation criteria demonstrated that genotype nos. 24, 25, 27 and 218 have the best group. Thus, the most reliable evaluation method was to use the new evaluation model comprising comparative variations.
