How to determine watermelon planting density? Master these principles

(Agricultural Wealth Network) The size of watermelon cultivation density has a direct relationship with watermelon fruit yield. Within a certain range, as the number of watermelon plants per unit area increases, the number of fruits set and the yield will also increase accordingly. Conversely, reducing the number of watermelon plants per unit area will lead to a decline in the number of fruits set and the total yield. Determining a reasonable cultivation density for watermelon should be based on a comprehensive consideration of local climatic conditions, the growth vigor of the variety, soil fertility status, pruning methods, cultivation management level, and other factors.
