Content: Watermelons are insect pollinated and rates of pollination can be poor for a few reasons. If you’re growing in an area without much insect activity or if temperatures are too low or high or if there’s a lot of rainy days during the pollination period. These things can all lead to poor pollination rates and a bad season. Hand pollination is easily done by swirling a paint brush or this thing inside a male flower and then female flower. Temperature – If temperatures are below 60 degrees or above 90 degrees for more than a few days especially during flowering and fruiting the plant can fail to set fruit and yields can be lower. The more common problem during this time is a heat wave. More frequent watering and protecting plants from the sun during the hottest time of the day with bed sheets, umbrellas, or shade cloth is a good idea. Mulch helps to keep weeds down, keep soil temperatures more even and help the soil retain moisture on hot days. How Many Watermelons Do Farmers Get Per Acre?
