Good day everyone, hope you have started your land preparation for the next watermelon planting season?

You can invest in my 10acre watermelon farm project. You decide how much you want to invest. Cultivation of an acre is 100,000 naira and after 3 months you get a minimum of 140,000back or even up to 200,000. You can contact me on 0 7 0 6 6 2 9 1 1 0 0 for a detailed proposal.
Regards.

>>>ANOTHER LESSON.
It was march and it's time for watermelon, the farm is weedy but i thought i can still manage herbicide to save cost. Got herbicide(quick action, major component: paraquat), i sprayed and i planted as soon as possible cos I was running out of time. They were growing fine at the beginning, but the rain increased and the weed started coming back to life. Also, it was may and it was mango's season, i had a old mango tree close to my farm and this fruitflies invaded my farm. Hmmm, this small flies can destroy acres of watermelon farm without you harvesting just 1 ball from it. I started making calls and fortunately for me i was able to find a solution even though i lost a lot of young watermelons to them, A LOT.
LESSON LEARNT: Make sure you do you land preparation thoroughly. Hopefully i will share the little i know about land preparation later.
...watch out for fruit flies, especially when you have a fruit tree close by and they are producing at that time. though you must be watchful of these little creatures every time. I FEAR THEM. Spray weekly or even 5 days interval and get a pheromone block (this is the solution to fruit fly)
To know if you have fruit fly infestation, you see your young watermelon fruit getting rotten, you will notice a tiny hole at the point of rot and if you break the fruit you will find maggot inside. If those are what you are seeing, that is fruit fly in action, they lay eggs inside young fruits, those egg develop to maggot and the maggots feed on your small watermelon.

Won't the september heavy rain cause flower shedding and also make them growing watermelon break/split. Just want to know more.

For the fungicide ask for z-force or funguforce.
It's is clearly stated on the label of the insecticides, different insecticides has different measurements. Check the label or ask any farmer around you or even the person that you bought it from.

ipio:


Thank you very much, I really do appreciate, pls one more thing, can u please help out on what ration to mix the insecticide? is not clear what is written there, as for the fungicide I still can't find it anywhere around me

ipio:


Thanks very much, how often do I use fungicide pls?

Better to be used with the insecticides as prevention is better than cure. Some say when it starts fruiting

You start using insecticides after they've sprouted and you keep using weekly/fortnightly until u harvest. Don't forget to use fungicide (z,-force, funguforce) too.

The gurus in the house should help a brother out.
You can plant maize with watermelon.
