14 Mar 2012 Early seedless varieties did not have the sugar and flavor levels of seeded types, but plant breeders have improved these traits and new varieties no longer have these Since the pollen of these plants is not viable, a diploid, seeded watermelon needs to be planted along with the seedless variety.
In recent years, the production of seedless (triploid) watermelons has equaled or surpassed the production of seeded (diploid) watermelons in Pennsylvania. Commercially Watering the plants with drip irrigation ensures optimum plant growth and yields and allows growers to apply fertilizer during the growing season.
Although mini triploid watermelons were first released and commercially grown about 6 years ago, little information is available for optimum planting densities that are needed to achieve the greatest percentage of marketable fruit in the 3- to 8-lb range. In 2006 and 2007, the fruit grade distribution response to six plant
Seedless watermelons are produced on highly sterile triploid (3N) plants which result from crossing a normal diploid (2N) plant with a tetraploid (4N). The tetraploid is used as the female or seed parent and the diploid is the male or pollen parent ( Figure 1 ).
For varieties that produce larger fruit (18 to 21 lbs), between-row spacings range from six to nine feet, and plant-to-plant spacings within the rows range from three to Seedless watermelon varieties produce fewer seed because genetically they are triploids, having three copies of each chromosome, rather than the two
Watermelons. G1755. Laurie Hodges, Extension Vegetable Specialist. Successfully growing seedless watermelons re- quires knowledge of triploid seed germination and transplant to produce hybrid seed, the seed for seedless melons is quite expensive, as much Seed germination and plant growth are best at warmer.
Since the triploid hybrid is female sterile, the fruit induced by pollination tend to be seedless. Unfortunately, the triploid has no viable pollen, so it is necessary to plant a diploid variety in the production field to provide the pollen that stimulates fruit to form. Usually, one third of the plants in the field are diploid and two thirds are
3.3 PLANT POPULATION AND SPACING. A general spacing of between 4,000 to 8,000 plants per hectare is recommended. 3.4 SEEDLING PRODUCTION. The seed of triploid watermelons is notoriously sensitive to very specific conditions during germination, as the tiny embryo is contained in a relatively large, hard seed
13 Jul 2016 Hybrid triploid watermelons, commonly called seedless watermelons, are more difficult to grow than diploid Thin to 1 plant per cell by using scissors to the covers when plants have female flowers — the flowers with a tiny fruit at the base of the blossom.

Commercial Watermelon Production i. Foreword. Ten years have passed since this publication was updated; many changes have occurred in the watermelon industry during that time. The 13 chapters in this publi- cation represent the latest information available on suc- cessful watermelon production. This publication is the.
