Watermelon does not like excess, but responds very well to timely feeding. The main thing is not to feed it with everything in a row, but to give exactly what is needed at a certain stage of development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
First feeding \u2014 when the vines start to grow actively.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n During this period the plant needs nitrogen to quickly grow strong leaves and powerful shoots. Cow manure infusion (1:10) or green fertilizer from nettle is well suited. Under each bush 1\u20132 liters of solution after ordinary watering is enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Second feeding \u2014 during flowering and the appearance of the first ovaries.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Now the watermelon needs phosphorus and potassium. In 10 liters of water dissolve:<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2022 30 g of superphosphate; \u2022 20 g of potassium sulfate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Water approximately 1 liter under each plant. Exactly this feeding helps the ovaries not to fall off and form strong fruits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Third feeding \u2014 when the watermelons already start filling.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n At this time nitrogen is almost no longer needed. Potassium works best. To 10 liters of water add 1 glass of sifted wood ash, let it infuse for several hours and water 1\u20131.5 liters under the bush.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Exactly potassium helps the fruits accumulate sugars, makes the flesh juicy and the taste rich.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And one more advice that is often forgotten.<\/strong> 10\u201314 days before harvesting significantly reduce watering. The plant will stop spending strength on excess moisture and start accumulating sugar in the fruits. That is why watermelons become more aromatic and sweeter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This material was prepared by the editorial team using artificial intelligence tools.
