A note about seed disinfection using peracetic acid per the University of Florida study. There is a chance that it does not 100% rid the seed of GSB in all cases. We shall see over time. What it will do from experience is get you off to a clean start. I did experience no sign of disease this year in the healing chamber and shortly there after. This was a first in three years. PA treatment should be a part of the best practices for growing watermelons going forward for both grafted and non-grafted. Used as a part of an over practice that minimizes probability of disease.
