Grow Watermelon with : Smart Nutrition Tips

Achieve higher Watermelon yield and juicy, sweet fruits with precise plant nutrition.

Specific Spraying Challenges in Watermelon (Indian Conditions)
1.Prostrate growth habit: Vines spread on the ground making manual spraying difficult and uneven.
2.High pest & disease pressure: Fruit fly, aphids, red spider mite, powdery mildew require frequent sprays.
3.Frequent nutrient application needed: Foliar sprays of micronutrients and growth regulators are necessary for quality fruits.
4.Water-sensitive crop: Excessive water in spray can damage flowers and fruits.

Most critical stage in Watermelon crop : Flowering to Fruit Set
Most important Nutrient & Micro Nutrients Required for Watermelon: Potassium & Boron

Why Potassium & Boron is Critical for Watermelon
1.Improves fruit size, weight & shape
2.Increases sweetness (TSS / sugar content)
3. Improves flower strength & reduces drop
4. Better colour, taste & shelf life

How Agricultural Drones Help in Watermelon Spraying
1.Uniform spray coverage over sprawling vines
2.Better penetration to leaves and flowering nodes due to downdraft
3.No physical damage to vines or fruits
4.Saves 60–70% labour cost
5.Reduces water usage by 80–90%
