The most suitable soil for watermelon cultivation

Watermelon has well-developed root system, drought tolerance, barren tolerance and strong adaptability to soil. However, the root growth of watermelon needs higher soil temperature, certain oxygen content in the air, and is not resistant to waterlogging. The sandy loam with loose texture and certain water and fertilizer conservation capacity is the most suitable for growing watermelon. Sandy loam soil has good permeability and rapid heating in spring, which is beneficial to the development and extension of watermelon root system, fast seedling emergence, early ripening and good quality of watermelon.
