Age of watermelon harvest and its characteristics - Age of harvest after 70-100 days after planting. Characteristics: after changing the color of the fruit, and the fruit stem shrinks, the fruit can be picked (harvested). The harvest period is influenced by the weather, and the type of seed (hybrid / tripoloid type, and type of seed).
In picking the fruit to be harvested it must be done when the weather is clear and cloudy so that the fruit is in dry conditions on the surface of the skin, and is resistant during storage or in the hands of the retailer. Good for cutting watermelon and stems.
Harvesting is done in several periods. If the fruit can be harvested simultaneously, at the same time, it cannot be done twice.
First, the old fruit is taken, all the others are taken at once. Third, after the leaves are dry, because the fruit cannot develop again, the fruit must be picked immediately.
