  • Watermelon
  • Watermelons are fairly drought resistant and can grow in most climatic conditions. Heavy rains are not conducive for good development.
  • It is one of the vegetables that can be grown in acidic soils. Generally light loamy soil with sufficient manure is recommended. Waterlogged soils are unfit for them. In order to initiate proper germination, sprinkling of water is done so that the surface remains soft which inturn facilitates emergence and development of young seedlings.
  • The seeds are sown at a distance of 100 - 120- cms between plants as well as rows. 2 - 3 seeds are sown at one point and then one healthy retrained. Due to the fruits being heavy, they are not recommended to be sown in pots. Watermelons are generally grown in ground/fields. At the ripening stage, irrigation is stopped.
  • For home consumption, fully ripened watermelons are harvested. This is indicated by withering of the tendril subtending the stem of the fruit. When the fruit is thumped, it will give a dull sound whereas immature fruits will give a ringing sound. A ripe melon emits a crisp cracking noise on pressing and the surface may yield to pressure.
  • They are harvested in the early mornings and kept in a cool place. The fruits keep well for over 10 - 12 days. The fruits are ready for harvesting in about 90 to 100 days of sowing.
