Water Melon is an easy to plant fruit, which can make a farmer realize high levels of income in no short time due to the increase in demand for the fruit. Sourcing for seeds for water melon is easy, due to the high import of hybrid seeds. It is essential that a farmer checks out fruit properly before choosing to plant from fruits sold at roadside. These fruits are in most cases hybrid and seeds from hybrid fruit do not grow to type. They grow as another fruit different from water melon. In the case that a farmer can ascertain that a fruit isn’t hybrid, leave fruit to ferment for three days before extracting seed for planting. After extracting seed, rinse properly to remove dirt and then sun-dry before planting, proper drying makes it more resistant to pest and diseases. It is advisable not to plant seeds that have being consumed or has mixed with saliva, as the chemicals in saliva would have reduced the viability of seed.
