WATERMELON

A typical summer fruit with a high water content of more than its 90 percent of total weight.

For its optimal cultivation, grafted seedlings, produced by affiliated nurseries, are used.

After transplanting, the plants are defended from low temperatures by nonwoven fabric covering, which is necessary until seedling enfranchisement and new shoot development have been achieved.

At the flowering stage, pollination is encouraged through bees that are introduced into the greenhouses, using special hives.
