When sowing, control the spacing between seeds, not too sparse or too dense. Water and fertilizer management should be appropriately adjusted according to the different growth stages of watermelon.

1. Planting site selection

It is best to choose a place with higher terrain and a drier climate for planting watermelons. Fertile sandy soil with deep soil, good permeability, and convenient drainage and irrigation is most suitable for watermelons. Growth and development.
