Watermelon grows in warm and temperate climates. There should be no danger of frost on the growing circuit, as it is very affected by the cold. The soil temperature should be above 12 ° C when October is sowing seeds. Diseases can be seen in places with high humidity.

To grow watermelons, deep, permeable sandy-loamy or loamy sandy soils with high water holding capacity should be selected. Watermelon can be grown with very good fertilization on heavy clay soils and light soils. Success cannot be achieved in places where the drainage is insufficient and the floor water level is below 1 m
