The invention belongs to the technical field of breeding of cucurbitaceae vegetable. An interspecific hybrid F1 (Yong rootstock No. 6) of cucurbit (a melon rootstock) is obtained by hybridizing a female parent of a stable inbred line J03-2-3-2-1-5-7-4 by multi-generation of directed autocopuation screening of cucurbit materials originated from Japan and a male parent of a stable inbred line YH2-3-3-2-1-4-2-6 by multi-generation of directed autocopuation screening of local Lagenaria species produced in Ningbo. The melon rootstock selectively bred with the method provided in the invention meets objectives of breeding and has moderate growth potential, high resistance to die-back and root rot, well-developed roots, strong stalks, strong ability in absorbing nutrient, low degree of vain growth and robust hypocotyls which are not easy to become hollow, and therefore the melon rootstock is favorable for grafting. The melon rootstock has good grafting affinity and strong symbiosis affinity, and a survival rate over 95% is obtained for the grafting of the rootstock onto the watermelon specie ''Zaojia'' (8424). The engrafted melon rootstock is low temperature-resistant, moisture-resistant and barren-resistant; after field planting, the root and overground part of a grafted seedling grows fast and has sound growth potential, and the period of first harvest of the grafted seedling is 5 days earlier than that of a self-rooted seedling, the fruition rate is high and stable, weight of single fruit and fruit shape can substantially maintain the same, melon skin is not thickened, sugar degree of the grafted seedling is higher than that of the self-rooted seedling, sugar degree gradient is small, quality of the watermelon is not affected, and good adaptability is obtained.
