What type fungicide do you apply? Is your environment to damp? |
Re: My Watermelon Is Rottening by TheUnbeatable(m): 3:05pm On Nov 07, 2015 |
@Op: I empathise with you. Though, I can't access your farm now, but I suspect too much water/ humidity. This also happens to cocoa and cassava. I stand to be corrected though. |

Just apply a fungicide with a foliar fertilizer and it would solve the problem from what I see it could spread to other melons it's fungal. It's caused as a result of over irrigation, use of poor resistant seeds, infected equipment used in farming. It's very common on vegetables and fruits. 1 Like |

Its probably due to too much and irregular watering. If its mainly on the side touching the ground, try using grass to mulch so it will not have direct contact with the soil |
Re: My Watermelon Is Rottening by chiomilisa(f): 4:02pm On Nov 07, 2015 |
Fundamentalist: below, please I use z force. |
Re: My Watermelon Is Rottening by chiomilisa(f): 4:08pm On Nov 07, 2015 |
jethro2: madam jethro thank you. I will raise those ones touching the ground. but as per irregular watering, since august 31st I planted them it has been raining all through. it just stopped for like 4 days here in asaba |

Fundamentalist: @fundamentalist, pls can u recommend seed in case of next time. but for this I use technisem. You mentioned infected equipment, please now could it be that I'm not washing my sprayer very well before use, thank you. educate me and God bless. |
Re: My Watermelon Is Rottening by Fundamentalist: 4:19pm On Nov 07, 2015 |
chiomilisa: You should use red force it's more effective though they are made by the same company. A 50g sachet is for a sprayer. If u have money add a foliar fertilizer like maxi force 4teaspoon per knapsack. To improve yield. Please try avoid over irrigation |

Don't have any in mind about good melon seeds. I have not been on that line for a while |
Re: My Watermelon Is Rottening by jethro2: 5:50pm On Nov 07, 2015 |
chiomilisa:It can also be attributed to too much water. Water melon don't want too much water. Technisem products are good. It now depend on where you source it. |
