Not much damage afterall. Only one fruit shows that sign. But to the bolded, can you mention the type of fungicides one can use and how many times before harvesting?

Where are all the water melon farmers? Come and respond to this question oo.
Re: A Thread For Growing Watermelon In your backyard With Photos by DICON2: 10:26pm On Dec 16, 2016
The breakage is caused by water stress, either 2 much water or too much heat.

Please check your farm if it's not affected by fruitfly, though the picture is not that clear. Are some watermelons getting rotten and you find maggot inside if opened?

Are you irrigating, if not, Is rain still falling in your area, when did you plant?

At the time there was much rain in my area.

When some broken water melon were opened, there were maggots inside them.
Re: A Thread For Growing Watermelon In your backyard With Photos by DICON2: 7:13pm On Dec 17, 2016
I guess that's fruitfly, please increase you insecticide procedure.

Check for bad fruit and try to kill the maggots with insecticides, if not they will turn to fly and cause more havoc. Check d young fruits well for a hole, if any, fruitfly has laid egg inside

Please take quick action cos if not checked you might lose a lot.
