Description
Crimson Sweet Watermelon Seeds 2410. Open Pollinated.
Approx. 25 seeds/pkt (9-10 seeds/gram)
Slightly elongated, light green melons about 25 cm in diameter by 30 cm long with traditional darker green stripes are produced by this fusarium and anthracnose tolerant variety. The fruit averages a hefty 9 kg and is dark red in colour with a crisp texture and very sweet flavour.
How to Grow
Very similar to cantaloupe and muskmelon. Seeds require 5-10 days at a soil temperature of 24° C to germinate – any lower and germination will be inhibited. Sow 6-8 seeds per hill, 12 mm deep in hills spaced 1.8- 2.4 m from each other. Thin to 3-4 plants per hill. Never let the plants lack for water. Germination occurs in 5-10 days.
SCOUT IPPM
OSC Seeds recommends using SCOUT IPPM to evaluate pests and pollinator populations in your cucurbit crops. Developed in partnership with the University of Guelph and Pollinator Partnership Canada, the SCOUT IPPM app uses scientific data and government guidelines to set action recommendations for growers.
