Watermelon cultivation has traditionally relied on conventional farming techniques, but the adoption of modern agricultural technology has significantly improved productivity, quality, and resource efficiency. The key technological advancements that enhance watermelon productivity include precision farming, improved irrigation methods, high-yielding seed varieties, greenhouse cultivation, and integrated pest and disease management. Helps farmers analyze soil health, moisture levels, and crop patterns to optimize land use. Provide real-time data on crop health, water stress, and pest infestations, allowing for timely interventions. Ensures that fertilizers are applied based on soil requirements, preventing nutrient imbalances and improving plant growth. Watermelons require a steady water supply, especially during fruit development. Traditional flood irrigation leads to water wastage and inconsistent soil moisture. Modern irrigation methods include. Supplies water directly to the root zone, reducing water wastage and ensuring consistent moisture. Sensors monitor soil moisture and control irrigation schedules to optimize water use. Measure the water content in the soil to prevent overwatering or drought stress.
