What type fungicide do you apply? Is your environment to damp?

@Op:

I empathise with you.

Though, I can't access your farm now, but I suspect too much water/ humidity. This also happens to cocoa and cassava.

I stand to be corrected though.

Just apply a fungicide with a foliar fertilizer and it would solve the problem from what I see it could spread to other melons it's fungal.

It's caused as a result of over irrigation, use of poor resistant seeds, infected equipment used in farming. It's very common on vegetables and fruits.

Its probably due to too much and irregular watering. If its mainly on the side touching the ground, try using grass to mulch so it will not have direct contact with the soil

You should use red force it's more effective though they are made by the same company. A 50g sachet is for a sprayer. If u have money add a foliar fertilizer like maxi force 4teaspoon per knapsack. To improve yield. Please try avoid over irrigation

It can also be attributed to too much water. Water melon don't want too much water. Technisem products are good. It now depend on where you source it.
