Watermelon: Balanced fertilization for tasty, sugary and heavy fruits

We are in the stages of enlargement, maturation or harvesting, based on the time of transplantation and the length of the cycle.

To encourage the formation of tasty, sugary and heavy fruits, it is necessary to adopt - from the first stages of enlargement - a balanced fertilization based on nitrogen and potassium, so as not to create problems in filling the fruit.

In the early stages of enlargement, in fact, it is necessary to provide nitrogen and, in smaller quantities, potassium. In the final stages of maturation, however, it is essential to increase potassium and limit the use of nitrogen.

In both phases it is also important to limit stress for the plant, as well as water imbalances.

The technical line

In the fruit enlargement phase we recommend using:

For the maturation phase we recommend using:

  • K-Fast (20 l/ha) in fertigation, every 8-10 days
