Water melon/ tar-booj/ Kosa pazham seed

Product Description

• Growth Period: Requires approximately 80 to 100 days from sowing the seeds to reaching full harvest maturity.

• Expected Yield: Highly productive annual vines, typically yielding 2 to 3 large, juicy watermelons per plant.

• Cultivating Practices: Thrives in hot, sunny weather; requires deep, well-draining sandy loam soil, full sun (6–8 hours), and consistent watering at the base.

• Fruiting Stage: Produces bright yellow flowers that require bee pollination to develop into rapidly expanding green fruits.

• Harvesting Signs: Ripe when the underside “ground spot” turns creamy yellow, the closest vine tendril turns brown and dry, and the fruit gives a dull, hollow thump when tapped.
