Field cultivation of watermelon
Citrullus lanatus (Thunb.) Matsum. & Nakai
Watermelon cultivation technology in open field conditions requires adherence to strict temperature regimes and providing a large feeding area for its vigorous root system.
In the reference 334 varieties crop Watermelon, where this is mentioned in the description.
Watermelon cultivation requires soil temperatures of 12–15°C at the seeding depth, as low temperatures inhibit root growth and promote the development of Fusarium wilt. The crop requires light, well-aerated soils and high light intensity for optimal sugar accumulation in the fruits.
In open field conditions, either direct seeding or transplanting methods are used with a large feeding area, ranging from 1 to 2 meters between rows. For seedless triploid hybrids, planting diploid pollinator varieties is mandatory, and plant training is performed to manage the crop load and limit vine growth.
Watermelon differs from other cucurbits in its high requirement for an active temperature sum of 2000 to 3000°C. Its critical sensitivity to cold manifests in seedling death at temperatures below 5–7°C, which necessitates strict requirements for planting dates in field conditions.
