The best cultivation of watermelon

To grow watermelons, you have to have enough, enough sunlight, plenty of water and enough fertile ground, watermelons grow as fast as other plants in their community such as cucumbers, pumpkins and squash.

Weather

Ticks need warmer weather and sufficient sunlight. They require less moisture because too much moisture causes disease. High humidity affects the quality and sweetness of the fruit. Even the temperature should be between 18 to 38 degrees.

Required soil

Ticks thrive in a variety of soil types. Ticks need well-drained and well-drained soil. The production of watermelons can be affected by parasitic infections

Fusarium (Fusarium). Farmers are required to plant tolerant seeds

diseases either have a rotating system of plants in turns

over a period of seven years. The level of fermentation (pH) between 5.0-6.8 allowed plants to absorb nutrients.

Use of fertilizers

Nitrogen is sprayed twice; when the plant has between 2 and 4 branches and also the fruit bearing section begins to crawl.

Spacing between plants

The size of the fruit needed will determine the area that should be left in the vegetative tract. Spacing between 100 and 150 centimeters is the best. One acre requires 5,000 seeds. More plants can be planted if irrigation is by drainage and drip irrigation.

Flowers and pollination

Pollution is important. Keep a bee hive to make sure that pollination is taking place. Methods used to control pests should be implemented in a way that protects bees It should be very moist during flowering and fruit

How to prevent pests and diseases

Pests, melon fly and aphids are the main threats to harvesting melons. You should use registered medicines to fight these pests.

Fungic diseases such as Alternaria, Fusarium, Antrachnose and Powdery Mildews are severe but can be dealt with by using fungal drugs and planting a pesticide.

The weeds continue to be pruned, taking care not to damage the roots

plants.

Harvesting

Water melons are harvested very close to ripening. This is when the upper part of the fruit that touches the sand has a yellow / yellow color or the fruit-bearing part begins to shrink.

The area that carries the flower is cut to prevent it from scratching the skin of the fruit, which can cause other infections. Ticks have a risk of rupture during or after harvesting if the farmer is unable to handle them properly.
