crop Watermelon,
where this is mentioned in the description.
During variety testing, watermelon productivity is assessed based on the number of fruits per plant and their average mass. Yield figures vary significantly depending on growing conditions: from 19–27 t/ha under rain-fed farming to 50–80 t/ha when using intensive technologies and irrigation.
Triploid seedless hybrids are capable of demonstrating yields 1.5–2 times higher than traditional diploid varieties. The crop's productivity level critically depends on the optimization of the planting pattern, which accounts for the vigorous root system's space requirements, as well as on balanced mineral nutrition.
