Abstract

This study examined the differences in the internal environment and growth of seedless watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) ‘Black Boy’ across two types of greenhouse (single span, SS and multi-span, MS), grown under hydroponics using hanger-type pillar. Neither types of greenhouse had an environmental control system. From fertilization to harvest, air temperature was significantly higher in MS than in SS, but the daily mean solar radiation intensity did not differ between SS and MS. Accumulated temperature increased faster in SS greenhouses than in MS greenhouses as a function of time, but the cumulative total of internal radiation did not differ. Photosynthetically active radiation intensity around the plants was lower in MS greenhouses than in SS greenhouses; consequently, the change in plant temperature in MS greenhouses was lower than that in SS greenhouses. In SS greenhouses, the fruit volume increased by 3.55 cm³ fruit^-1 as the cumulative light intensity increased by 1 mol m^-2. The influence of environmental factors on growth and fruit characteristics of watermelon could not be clearly compared across the two types of greenhouses due to mite damage in MS greenhouses.
