Watermelon Production by Agricultural Methods (Direct-Seeded)
Production Cost Report | Agriculture, Farming and Commodity
Details: Germany - based plant Q1 2024 | From $ USD
This report proffers the thorough economics of watermelon production by agricultural method (Direct-Seeded). Watermelon seeds are typically sown using three direct seeding methods, each adapted to specific environmental conditions. In the Frost Method, furrows are created 2-3 meters apart, and seeds are sown on either side. Planting involves dibbling 2-3 seeds at each spot, thinning out to maintain a plant-to-plant distance of 0.75-1 meter along the furrows, with furrows being 60 cm wide. The Pit Method involves constructing pits of 60 cm in diameter and depth, spaced 2-3 meters apart. Pits are filled with well-decomposed farmyard manure (FYM) and soil, with 4 seeds sown per pit. After germination, weaker seedlings are removed to leave 2 or 3 healthy plants per pit. In the Hill Method, commonly used in riverbed cultivation, smaller pits of 30 x 30 x 30 cm are dug at intervals of 1-1.5 meters, filled with a mix of soil and FYM, and formed into a small hill, where 2 seeds are sown per hill. Each method requires careful management to ensure optimal growth and yield.
