High-yield planting technology of watermelon

2. Seed treatment

In order to increase the activity of watermelon seeds, they need to be soaked in warm water for 5-6 hours, taken out and washed with lime water, and then placed in a greenhouse for germination after the water vapor dries up.

Wait until the buds grow to 1-2 cm before planting, sow about 2-3 seeds in each hole, water enough to help the roots take hold after sowing, and when 2-3 true leaves grow, you can transplant the seedlings.
