in watermelon. In this study, we evaluated the effect of wheat intercropping on the Fusarium
wilt of watermelon. Our results showed that wheat intercropping decreases the incidence of
Fusarium wilt of watermelon, likely due to the secretion of coumaric acid from the roots of
wheat that dramatically inhibits FON spore germination, sporulation, and growth. The
secretion of p-hydroxybenzoic acid, ferulic acid, and cinnamic acid from the roots of …
