What to Do When Summer-Autumn Watermelons Have a Low Fruit-Setting Rate? Key Points of Fruit-Setting Management Techniques

In summer-autumn cultivation, watermelon female flowers differentiate relatively late, are positioned at higher nodes with larger intervals, and are not easy to set fruit. If unfavorable weather occurs, fruit setting will be delayed, thereby affecting yield. To set fruit at the ideal node position, other management measures such as artificial supplementary pollination, treatment with fruit-setting hormone, covering the ovary with a cap for rain protection, and pinching vines and removing growing tips must be carried out.
