Zusammenfassung:This study was conducted to screen hydroponically grown various gourd genotypes to obtain tolerant rootstocks for sustainable watermelon production under contrasting pH levels in relation to physiological and root morphological characters under greenhouse conditions. Two commercial watermelon cultivars (Crimson Tide and Crisby) and 20 different gourd genotypes includes Lagenaria siceraria and Cucurbita maxima and C. moschata interspecific hybrids were screened in nutrient solution under three different pH (High: 8.5, Neutral (control): 6.5 and Low: 4.5) levels. Shoot and root dry matter, leaf area, total root length and leaf mineral element compositions were significantly (P
