Pinching in watermelon and muskmelon crop

Pinching in watermelon and muskmelon crop
  • Pinching is an important process to get a good quality yield in watermelon and muskmelon crops. 

  • To prevent the overgrowth of vines and for the good development of fruits, the process of pinching is done in the vines.

  • In this process, when the vine bears enough fruits, the tops of the vines are plucked, as a result, the vegetative growth of the vines stops.

  • By stopping the growth of the vines, the size and quality of the fruits are improved.

  • If there is more fruit on a vine, then remove the small and weak fruits so that the main fruit gets better.

  • By removing unnecessary branches, watermelon and muskmelon fruits get complete nutrition and they grow quickly.
