How to select and keep watermelon fruits in cultivation? Detailed explanation of fruit-keeping methods and techniques

(Agricultural Wealth Network) A single watermelon plant can produce dozens of female flowers, but in cultivation only 1 to 2 watermelon fruits are required to be selected and kept, which can be determined according to the quality of the female flowers, cultivation requirements and the position of the female flowers on the plant. Generally speaking, if the female flower has a long and thick pedicel, and compared with the vine its ovary is larger and slightly longer, with fresh and plump color, and can expand rapidly after pollination, there is a good chance it will set fruit, so it can be selected and kept. Otherwise, it should not be selected and kept. The position of the kept fruit also has a great influence on fruit size and quality; generally the 2nd to 3rd female flower is selected for keeping the fruit.
