watermelon takes more than theory don't listen to all these online and e-book farmers that don't have a farm of their own they only want you to pay for their trainings and sell e-books to you its not all rosy as they paint but the good news is that if you heed advice from a practical farmer and adhere to GAP the result will be awesome

Cool....I'll like to know more. I'm interested.

you are welcome just follow the thread

Before you think of planting watermelon ensure that have a sprayer (knapsack)have your pesticide,fungicide,fertilizers both liquid and compound i recommends supergro and urea/npk get your pre-emergence and post emergence herbicides available

After living all my life in the north,insecurity and issues from family members pushed me into relocating from nasarawa to ekiti state to engage and run my farming activities when i got to ekiti and i wanted to plant crops like watermelon,beans,and other cereals and grains most people discouraged me that they won't do well when i asked most of them if they've ever attempted experimenting the said crops their answers were "those crops are mainly for the northem region" so as a striver i decided to plant watermelon and beans and to my greatest supprise they did better than the north as a matter of fact that was the first time i harvested 20 100kg bags of beans from just one hectare of land and that was my first time of harvesting 15000 balls of watermelon from 1 and half hectare of land in a nutshell what i'm saying is that all the crops that are believed to be hard-core northen crops can do well in the south when done the right way COMING FROM A PRACTICAL NORTHERN FARMER CURRENTLY LIVING IN THE SOUTH

I've been a watermelon farmer for over 8 years now. There's no secret in water melon farming that I don't know from it's disease, how to plant the best method to adopt and so on.

I've learned so many things along these years, as a matter of fact, there are things that I learned the hard way.

These pictures were taken last year. I've planted on ten acres this year. If there's anything you want to know about watermelon farming feel free to follow this thread. I'll be lecturing you on how to plant watermelon, maize, sesame seed, rice yam ground nut free of charge. I've been growing all these crops right from child hood so I'm supposed to know better.

Welcome to my world of watermelon.
