Watermelon Farming: Early Varieties Promise High Profits in 60 Days

  • Early watermelon cultivation in Madhya Pradesh's Vindhya region, especially Bansagar submergence area, is highly profitable.
  • Sowing in February ensures the crop is ready by early summer, fetching better market prices due to low supply.
  • Key steps for good yield include field preparation with cow dung, organic fertilizer, Trichoderma, and tilling.
  • Sowing on raised beds and using mulching with drip irrigation are recommended for better yield, water conservation, and weed control.
  • Hybrid varieties like HW22, Jannat, and Saraswati mature in 50-60 days, offering 12-14% sweetness and yields up to 25 tons per acre.

Why It Matters: Early watermelon farming with hybrid varieties and modern techniques offers significant profits in just 60 days.
