Watermelons can be sown or replanted.To ensure a good stand, we recommend planting seeds every 12′′ along the intended row.Thin plants to one every 2 feet once they emerge.Watermelons can be susceptible to diseases if there is excess leaf water.We recommend using drip irrigation on watermelons to reduce leaf water and feed plants more effectively.Liquid Copper can be used to alleviate disease pressure during periods of heavy rain.
