Please help. The watermelon planting was done 7 weeks ago and pesticide(cyperforce) is being applied every 9 days. The last day of pesticide application was Monday. On getting to the farm today, I discovered that holes have been bored into some while some look like they have been eaten by insects. I have uploaded pictures with this post. Who has experienced something like this before and what can I do. I really need help. Pieces of advice please.

This can occur if you add boost extra to the cyperforce and you apply it to your plants at sunrise.
It can also occur when water is suddenly applied after long time deprivation of water. Sudden change in temperature will cause them to split.
It has happened to my plants few years ago.
Be rest assured it wouldn't affect your profit if you have treated them well at initial stage.
From that image, I can say they are almost ready for harvest.
We need more response from experienced farmers.

What you are experiencing is the symptoms of calcium deficiency in the soil and water stress. Water melons are sensitive to water stress and react by splitting if water is suddenly applied to it, the problem is worse if your soil is calcium deficient.

This is helpful. They were deprived water for a period truly due to lack of rainfall. I hope, like you said, it will not affect the profit. Thanks

Thanks for the enlightenment. How do you suggest I increase the calcium level of the soil?

I just read about cutworms now. Those beasts can wreck the same havoc. Sadly, I saw a couple of them on some watermelon balls, yesterday evening. They operate largely at night and hide underground in the day. Their judgment day has come!
