@OP........ Get what we are saying right. how to successfully cultivate watermelon is not the issue peopple doubt you for. We are putting a VERY BIG question mark in front of your cost analysis. No practical watermelon farmer will ever agree with that. .....
@all Critics....... lets leave the OP to deal with his PREY.

(Check my analysis very well. I made mentioned of the point that you are only employing labour to help you i.e. as the labour is planting,applying herbicide/harvesting , you also work along.).

.......Analysis......
- Land acquisition - There are established government farm agencies that gives an hectare for #3,000 only for agricultural purpose. Visit one in your area and make enquiry. (Many nairalander has confirm this )
-Herbicide is sold between #1000-#1100 and about 7bottles will successfully covers two hectares of
land.
-Hybrid Seed : Four (4) of the variety of the seed I do plant will successfully covers one hectare and
each one cost #1,400.
-Labour cost for planting is #1000 per day + #200 feeding and two people can successfully plant one
hectare in a day, remember you are a farmer and the labour is just to assist you.
- Foliar chemical, am not talking about GNLD or cocoa boost but the ones best suitable for watermelon
(price range is between #900-#1,100) and you need four different types.
- Solid chemical - Remember you are also using foliar chemical and there is a certain quantity of solid
fertilizer you need to apply and that cost you #2100
- Weeding- The quantity of the herbicide you will use at this stage will reduced (Your watermelon is
also on the land.) Once you spray before planting, you don't need to spray until 25-30days. Then within
one-two weeks after spraying, your watermelon would have start spreading through your farmland
before another set of weeds start to grow, remember its a leguminous plant.
- A labour cost for harvesting is #1000 per day for the first harvest + your own effort as a farmer.
- Insectide is part of the four foliar chemical I mentioned. Remeber its also a foliar chemical.
TOTAL - #32,000
Thus, this is the fixed cost required for the cultivation. Other cost like (feeding) will be determine by how extravagant you are. Thanks

l hate argument ....... bye

 Land: Land is the first and essential requirement for this lucrative business. Generally the land is measured in Plots, Acres or in Hectares.
 Seeds: Watermelon hybrid seeds.
 Herbicides: Herbicides are the chemicals for controlling and removing
weeds from your watermelon farm.
 Fertilizers: These are liquid/solid chemicals that will enhance the growth and performance of your crops so as to boost yields/production.
 Insecticides: Insectides is very essential, it is used to prevent disease outbreak on your farm. Insectides and liquid fertilizer are mixed together and are used to treat your farm at least once in every week.
 Plastic Bowl: For cover-flitting.
 Water Source: You start making use of water with your knapsack sprayer to apply chemicals within 4 - 10 days after your seeds begin to germinate.
 Knapsack Sprayers: To apply herbicide (for weed), insecticides (to prevent disease), and foliar (leaves) liquid fertilizers to your crop.
(This is just to get you inform on some of the things you need to become a successful watermelon farmer. More details about all the listed requirement during the course of the lesson. We will dig deep into each of them)

When next you visit your farm pls snap some pictures and post them here.

Hello shelyman am here to defend u and ur analysis is tru and 100 percent correct
Nigeria are so skeptical and stingy in paying for knowlege and information
What he is telling us can't be found on google or anywhere else except u can hack into his laptop where d materials and he has undergone a training and practicalised it with d analysis he gave cos I know of a farmer in edo state who even said one can do it for 31k and teaching tru a seminar of which I attended virtually and paid for
So pls believe it cos I have a farm at odeda ogun state and can show pictures to provee it
Information is power when u have it so
I think there is limit to share all d secrets on nairaland
So that means an author cannot sell a book on nairaland
If u need the materials I send it to u and u pay later after reading it
Thanks
There is mony in farming and u don't need millions or big thousands to start

Land Preparation & Planting Process
Watermelon requires loamy soil or silt loam soil. It also performs well on heavy soil if it is well-drained. It does not tolerate waterlogging at all. So if planting on heavy soil, ridging or plowing (tilling) will be helpful to improve drainage.

On loamy soil, you can just plant on the flat land since the soil well drained. The land for watermelon can be prepared by either clearing, felling, burning with or without tilling.

more than necessary to get started.

probable month and date that will guarantees massive production without ever risking being infected with "diseases or insects outbreak.

protect your plant (cutlass not required) and the most 2 proven chemicals that you can authoritatively
employ to achieve this within minutes.
• The dirty little secrets of when and how to apply correctly so that you won't make the same costly
mistakes generally made by other clueless farmers in this business not only resulting into poor yields

perching on the yellow parts of your watermelon are your friends & why you should pray to God have
hundreds of them in "droves".

from your cost break down i c that u r here to misslead pple am a potential farm of watermelon so i know much about it i can't c insecticide in ur cost break down in which this watermelon we are talking about is a farm produce that insect really attack in which u can't make it without insecticide n fungicide n timely application too n planting it de right tym too nairaland beware. I will welcome any questions about watermelon thnk u. Peace out

I've cleard and finished making bedridges, when is it suitebe to plant this watermelon in my state imo state? Is it this august?

this guy is an ebook seller. I advise any one to be carefull following this fellow. there are many tricks people use to scam others now on narialand. They form party in which one will post and the other will post comment to support him. One of thing that make me have bad feeling about this is that many people have suggested him to show proof by uploading himself inside farm but up till now he have never done that.
people like Jasper, Jethro2, world1, hotmas911 who are making millions from vegetables including waterMellon always show proofs , Infact they always want people to come and see their farm physically. They never sell ebook to people but they will give you training on vegetable farming and how them too succeeded in the business.
Advice: Meet a physical expert to train you or lose you money to worthless ebook.

If you follow this tread, all the questions and critics has been answered and proof right.

I have been following this thread patiently and eager to learn from. I have no doubt in me as regards what you do. I think you've earned the benefit of doubt and I think we should change our perception of things. I am not in support of op but I haven't found any concrete evidence from thoses who are skeptical about his opinion. The only issue I have is the " pls post your pics of you in your farm" even though this is not enough proof.
As regards the land stuff, its true you can get it for 2500# for a lease. Thanks. This is not to antagonise anybody. Its just for us to be more careful and hopeful. Thanks.

Pls I will like 2 be directed to the govt agency in Lagos where I can get cheap farmland. Am based in Lagos
