Description Not Available
‘VRW-3’ is a new line of watermelon [Citrullus lanatus (Thunb.) Mansf.] with
yellow colored rind right from the ovary stage. This line was developed through
selection from a local landrace. Plants bear round and yellow rinded fruits with red
purple flesh. The fruits are small in size (3.0 kg), very attractive and become ready for
first harvest in 82 days from sowing. The fruits have a distinct flavor, delicious taste,
and high total soluble solids (15%) and high carotenoids (5 mg/100 g) as compared
with other cultivars recommended for cultivation in India. This precious material
could be used as a source to develop yellow rinded cultivars and hybrids of watermelon.
