My experience with watermelon in 2017 was awful... I planted half hectare then, and gray squirrel ate everything. I will be planting just 90 seed to taste the water once more. I will use manure,npk 15:15:15, potassium nitrate, fungicide and insecticide. Since it is not on commercial scale, I will only be making short video which will be available only on my IG. So I do the nursery today... 4 Likes 1 Share

Fruiting begin to set, and Big. I notice the ball has too color, which means the fruit I bought is as result of two species planted (crossed) together. Also, I notice it will not be easy to grow watermelon (open field) in organic way. Despite spraying it, caterpillar still manage to put hole to like two fruit. 3 Likes

Re: My Pilot Watermelon Project. by Farmerakinloye6(m): 8:05pm On Jul 03, 2022 |
okoroemeka:the seed I planted is from one fruit, I was surprised to see two different varieties too. The simple explanation is that the fruit is from cross Kaolack and koloss. If am in your side, then I will realize close to 20k on that 78 seed. |
