摘要 [Objectives] This study was conducted to explore suitable organic compound application models for watermelon growth. [Methods] With watermelon hybrid material "M22×P18" as the test material, the effects of four functional organic materials, namely garlic straw treatment (T1), onion straw treatment (T2), garlic straw+sheep manure treatment (T3) and onion straw+chicken manure treatment (T4), on the morphological indexes, yield and quality of watermelon were investigated. [Results] Different functional organic materials had different effects on morphological indexes, yield and quality of watermelon. The morphological indexes, nutritional quality indexes and yield of watermelon treated with garlic straw and sheep manure compound (T3) and onion straw and chicken manure compound (T4) were significantly higher than those treated simply with garlic straw (T1) and onion straw (T2), and T3 performed relatively better. Compared with treatment T2, T3 showed a stem diameter, a vine length and a leaf number of watermelon increasing by 43.05%, 46.69% and 40.77% respectively, central sugar and edge sugar contents increasing by 11.72% and 21.90% respectively, and a yield increasing by 42.91%, with significant differences from T2. [Conclusions] This study provides technical support for high-quality and high-yielding cultivation of watermelon
