Enhancing Watermelon and Muskmelon Profits in Zaid Crops

Farmers get good profits from watermelon and muskmelon crops in Zaid crops. Farmers often cultivate these fruits with the help of mulching sheets and drip irrigation.

Key Challenges in Watermelon and Muskmelon Farming

If for some reason the growth of the fruits is reduced, or their shine and sweetness is reduced, then farmers may have to face problems in getting the desired price and yield. This can happen due to changes in climate, the effect of diseases and pests, and soil defects. Here are some measures to deal with these problems, please pay attention to them.

Addressing Potassium Deficiency for Optimal Fruit Growth

Among the NPK components, the need for potash is highest at the time of flowering and fruiting. If for some reason you have failed to give the crop the amount of potash, then to make up for it, give 3 kg of sulphate of potash (SOP) per acre at intervals of 7 days, at least three times, while the fruits are growing. If you have already given this dose, then you can give potash mobilizer bacteria at the rate of 1 liter per acre through drip irrigation. (Reference)

The Role of Silicon in Improving Crop Resilience

Silicon deficiency Studies on watermelon and muskmelon crops have shown that these crops, like sugarcane and paddy, do not accumulate silicon. However, if silicon is sprayed on them, they can withstand heat, soil alkalinity and insect diseases more effectively. Due to the effect of silicon, the crop absorbs other fertilizers more effectively from the soil, which causes the fruits to grow faster. (Reference)

Economic Considerations for Zaid Crop Farmers

Before making a decision based on the above information, please calculate your expenses. How much is your cost and what price are you likely to get for the produce? If there is any problem with income for any reason, avoid spending any money. If the market is good and customers are willing to increase the price for good produce, then you can earn more profit by taking the above measures.
