Real-world watermelon experiences through the eyes of Florida Extension agents.

Chemical Injuries (herbicides, miticides, chemical burns)
Diseases (fungal pathogens, viruses, bacterial diseases)
Environmental Injuries (hail, lightning, irrigation problems)
Nutrients (testing, deficiencies, toxicities)
Good Bugs and Bad Bugs (beneficial insects, squash bugs, whiteflies, nematodes)

And more!
