The most suitable soil for growing watermelons
(Agricultural Wealth Network) Watermelons have a well-developed root system, are drought-tolerant and tolerant of poor soil, and have strong adaptability to soil. However, watermelon root growth requires relatively high soil temperatures and a certain amount of air oxygen, and is not tolerant of waterlogging. The most suitable soil for growing watermelons is sandy loam that is loose in texture and has a certain capacity to retain water and nutrients. Sandy loam has good permeability, warms up quickly in spring, and is conducive to the development and extension of watermelon roots. When watermelons are planted in it, the seedlings grow quickly, the fruit tends to ripen early, and the quality is good.
