In Deilor we have finished the winter campaign, so we begin the process of transplanting watermelon and melon for the 2023 campaign. After successfully grafting the watermelons a few weeks ago and improving their resistance qualities and their grip on the land, we have started the transplant process.
Like every campaign, in our fields you can find plantations of white watermelon and Galía and Cantaloupe melons. We currently have transplanted the following varieties of watermelon: Red Harper, Romalinda, Cebra, Bazman and Motril. Regarding melon, we have four varieties of Galía melon: Albizu, Verdasco, Galvir and Klimt. We have also planted Cantaloupe melon and we have these four varieties: Chaman, Urkan, Magverik and Sugar Moon.
Our watermelons are planted in the field together with their pollinator, since seedless watermelons require the use of pollinating plants as a source of pollen. Pollen is necessary, not for their reproduction, but they need it to stimulate their production and development.
Finally, the campaign will begin with the first cut of watermelon and melon, which we hope will be between June 10 and 15, so we are working daily to achieve it.
