Symptoms: gaps or voids appear in the pulp of watermelon fruit. Etiology: it is easy to occur in the case of low-node fruit setting, crazy seedlings caused by excessive nitrogen nutrition, or poor fruit setting and increased leaf area. The main reason is the excessive accumulation of nutrients in the plant. The hollow fruit usually has longitudinal grooves on the fruit surface, the pericarp is thick, the fruit shape is not perfect, and the sugar content is on the high side. On the other hand, the hollow fruit formed by too large leaf area has large fruit shape and high sugar content. The triploid seedless watermelon grows vigorously and the hollow fruit is more common. Control measures: carry out reasonable and appropriate amount of fertilization and pruning, adjust the number of fruit setting and fruit setting node position.
