9. Sowing
-    Spacing            - 2'x22' (Parallel)
-    Number of plant/ac        - 40 plts

10. Care and management
-     When watermelon plants are 1.5 feets after planting, need to straighten the bine and cover with straw between two rows that can be reduced moisture loses and weeding as well.  Frist flower had to picked out because of its quality was bad. The quality fruit can be got 2-3 feet from ground. 

12. Prevention of pests and diseases
-    Thrips၊ Aphits၊ Weevils, Spider. Anthracnose, Downey mildew, Wilt and virus plant had to picked out and fired. 

13. Harvesting
-    The fruits can be picked up 25-30 days after flowering which fruit stalks turned colour in small fruit varieties and short lived varieties. The fruits can be picked up after 35 days after flowering in large fruit variety and seed less variety. The yellow variety is early ripen than red variety and also little variety is early ripen than the big one.
