Watermelons on chili plants? Don't be fooled by such a picture.
Recently, a short video showing a big watermelon growing on a chili plant has gone viral in moments. Can it really produce watermelons on chili? Many netizens believe that the watermelon is grafted onto the pepper, but Scientific Xingnong believes that the watermelon in this photo is not the fruit of the pepper, and it is not grafted, it should be the effect of the video photographer placing the watermelon on the pepper plant.
The reason why the suspicion of pepper watermelon photos (video), for the following reasons, the following science to talk about agriculture.
First, watermelons and chili peppers do not belong to the same family and are closely related.
There is an important principle about grafting: kinship should not be too far away. You must have heard of human organ transplant. The reason is similar to that of grafting, but it is much more difficult to transplant between different species than that of the same species, and there are the same problems in grafting. For example, watermelon grafting watermelon is very easy to achieve, but watermelon grafting pumpkin is a little more difficult, and if the phylogenetic relationship of grafting is further, it will be more difficult again.
On the case of watermelon grafting chili, at least I have not seen any report, in principle, it is not impossible, but the two grafting is still relatively difficult.
Second, the watermelon in the video does not have any watermelon leaves
Is grafting just grafting a watermelon pistil? Obviously this is impossible, and such grafting is basically impossible. It is unrealistic for an isolated watermelon to grow on chili peppers. Usually our grafting is just grafting the stems of watermelons. Therefore, it can only be suspected that the watermelon can only be placed on top of the pepper plant.
So, in my personal judgment, the photo of this watermelon grafted pepper should be man-made, not real.
Here is science to promote agriculture, welcome to add attention, with you to grow knowledge.

Can the yield increase with urea alone in corn field? Balanced fertilization can maximize the potential of increasing production.
Some netizens asked whether the single application of urea in the corn field could increase the yield. The following is my reply. The yield of corn fields with urea alone is still higher than that without fertilizer, but it is certainly not as good as that of balanced fertilization. Corn, too.
