Watermelon Growing Season

Citrullus lanatus (Thunb.) Matsum. & Nakai

This is the time interval from full seedling emergence to the onset of fruit harvesting maturity. The indicator varies from 55 to 105 days or more, depending on the variety and agro-climatic conditions.

In the reference 106 varieties crop Watermelon, where this is mentioned in the description.

For watermelons, the growing season is measured in days and is a key criterion for assessing variety precocity. Early-maturing forms ripen in 55–70 days, while mid-season and mid-late varieties reach maturity in 90–105 days or more. To complete the cycle, the plant requires the accumulation of active temperatures in the range of 2000–3000°C.

The duration of the period is influenced by the external environment and cultivation technologies. Adverse weather factors or insufficient lighting can delay ripening, while the use of transplanting methods can shorten the time to harvest by 10–20 days. When choosing a variety, it should be considered that there is often a negative correlation between precocity and total crop yield in this culture.
