Abstract：Watermelon（Citrullus lanatus）seedlings were sowed in pot made from rice straw, and then were transplanted in soil together. The growth indexes of different stages and yield were measured. The results indicated that straw pot can obviously promote the growth of watermelon seedlings. Fresh and dry watermelon weight of roots of the seedlings grew in straw pot were 0.13-0.27 g and 0.02-0.03 g higher than that of the CK, respectively. In terms of the whole growing procedure, watermelon seedlings grew in straw pot gradually showed its advantage. Its yield was 24.7 %-34.6 % higher than that of the CK.
