Watermelon is a summer fruit; its flesh is sweet and can cool you down and relieve summer heat; its seeds contain oil and can be eaten as a snack. So when is the best time to plant watermelons in southern regions?

Watermelons in the south can grow normally as long as the temperature is above 14°C. With different cultivation techniques, they can be sown from mid-January to late July in summer, and harvested from May to October.

Watermelon cultivation generally takes about 80-120 days from sowing to harvest, and about 30-40 days from flowering to ripening.

Control methods when pests and diseases occur during the growing period:

① Choose disease-resistant varieties. Select varieties with high resistance and multiple resistance according to the main local pests and diseases and the cultivation season.

② Hang silver-gray film strips around the facility to repel aphids, or use insecticidal boards to trap and kill them, etc.
