Can watermelon be replanted?

You can't. Watermelon is prone to "dead seedlings" after continuous cropping, which is often called watermelon wilt, which is one of the most serious diseases in watermelon production. Watermelon Fusarium wilt spreads rapidly after its onset, and its control is very difficult. If the disease is not controlled in time, it can spread all over the fields within a few days, and even cause extinction.

When planting watermelon, it is best to choose some varieties resistant to continuous cropping diseases to reduce the occurrence of diseases caused by continuous cropping.

When arranging stubble to plant other crops, it is best not to disturb the original soil layer of watermelon. When plowing the land, you must mark it well. Don't mix the soil from the original watermelon row with the soil reserved for watermelon in that year.

Matters needing attention in watermelon planting

1. The root system of watermelon extends rapidly with the growth of aboveground parts. When vines reach above the ground, the roots grow faster and the number of lateral roots increases rapidly. The growth and elongation of root system reached the peak before fruit setting, and the root system basically grew after fruit setting.

2. Watermelon roots occur earlier than other crops, but the early roots are few, the degree of lignification is high, the new roots are thin and easy to be injured, and the regeneration ability is weak. Therefore, special attention should be paid to prevent roots from being damaged when transplanting seedlings.

3. Watermelon roots are extremely intolerant to waterlogging. Short-term floods can also lead to root dysfunction and plant damage. In severe cases, the roots will be lignified from the inside out, and the unglignified parts will rot.
