Australasian Plant Disease Notes 1 (1), 3-4
Abstract: Watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) is known to be affected by a variety of both seed-borne and soil-borne fungi. In routine screening of watermelon seed samples, sporodochia of Myrothecium verrucaria were observed. The fungus was isolated and the spore suspension was inoculated onto healthy seedlings of watermelon. The resulting symptoms confirmed Koch's postulates.
