After the application of boron and fertilization, and the formation of young watermelon fruit, it is crucial to focus on maintaining the fruit’s quality. For those employing a combined nutrition approach, zinc and boron are often combined to support fruit maintenance and formation. In our approach, boron is applied first, and then zinc is applied once the fruit has formed. This sequential application aids in preserving the fruit’s overall quality.
Fruit Maintenance
When it comes to fruit maintenance, it’s important to consider the competition among multiple fruits on the same plant. To ensure better-quality fruits, it is recommended to maintain a maximum of three fruits per plant. This helps optimize the resources available for each fruit, leading to improved fruit development.
Regarding watering, it is essential to maintain consistently moist soil, particularly in low humidity areas. This practice facilitates the proper uptake of nutrients from the soil and fertilizers applied, ensuring that the watermelon plants receive the necessary resources for healthy fruit growth.
