Selection of the field/land preparation practices |
Land selection – Soils with good nutrition (medium soil, loam to sandy loam). The soil must be having excellent drainage history. If possible use the land with previous crops other than Cucurbitaceae.
Land should be well prepared. 1-2 deep ploughing followed by 3-4 rounds of harrows to get fine tilt. Before the final harrow, apply 8 to 10 MT well-decomposed FYM/acre along with 1kg Trichoderma for controlling soil-born fungus. |

Weed Control- Chemicals with doses and timing |
For watermelon cultivation, hand weeding is suggested. There can be 2-3 weeding before the early fruit formation stage. After that, it is advised to restrict labor movement in the field so as to achieve less damage to crops and no disturbance to honeybee activities. In India herbicides use is not yet in practice. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Diseases & Pest control- Chemicals with doses and timing |
For effective crop control apply fungicide as per recommendation from the Department of Agriculture (plant protection) to control Damping off, Downey Mildew, Powdery Mildew and other fungal diseases. Apply recommended insecticide to control sucking pest, fruit fly and any other insects. Insecticide spray should not be done at flowering stage (25 – 45Days) to enable honeybee activities for pollination. For watermelon crop leaf minor, thrips and the fruit fly are major insects. While Downy Mildew, Powdery Mildew, Wilt, Anthracnose and Gumy Stem Blight are the major diseases. Timely control of insect and diseases will help to achieve excellent crop growth. Do not spray during peak pollination period.
The schedule is as per label available for wm Other than this use VF for leaf minor @ 12-15 dat (also use it in nursery) Use good chemistry to control Thrips |

Irrigation Schedule |
Irrigation management is very crucial in watermelon cultivation. Looking at the soil type and season, irrigation frequency and quantity can be decided. The drip irrigation system is strongly advised for this crop. After fruit setting irrigation interval needs to be fixed and maintained. Sudden change in irrigation frequency after fruit set can cause fruit busting and hollow heart. The moisture level needs to be maintained at an optimum level. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Harvesting |
Harvest the fruit at the time of physiological maturity. Date of maturity or days after transplanting (65-70 days for seedless and 70-75 days for seeded) Maturity of watermelon can be judged by the following steps:1.A dead tendril attach to the vine2.Dull appearance of the fruit compared to their slick appearance3.Narrowing of the rind strips towards the head end.4.Maturity is also judged by metallic sounds5.After harvesting fruits should not be left long in the sun otherwise sun scaled may develop Note – Seedless watermelon harvesting should be done 2-3 times and Seeded can be done 1-2 times | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
