Five varieties of watermelon with high cracking tolerance were introduced. The growth period, botanical character, fruit character, yield and disease resistance were compared. The results showed that Yongmi No.6 had anti-cracking,good quality,high yield and good disease resistance, which is suitable for the simplified cultivation mode of protected cultivation to meet the requirements of light and simplified cultivation of medium-sized watermelon in South China.
