Content: Cultivating around the plant can also damage roots, which can affect fruit size. Temperature – Watermelons like it hot, between 60-70 degrees F. (15-21 C.) at night and between 80-95 degrees F. (29-35 C.) during the day, preferably higher. If the temps are lower than this, plant growth slows. If temperatures are low in your area, this may very possibly be the reason for small watermelons. Pests and disease – If you have small, misshapen fruit, the culprit might be an aphid infestation. The aphids act as vectors introducing the mosaic virus. Additional symptoms are small, mottled leaves and short vines. The aphids will be easy to spot since they exude sticky black honeydew that is visible. Look for the insects on the underside of the leaves. To control mosaic virus, you need to get rid of the aphids.
