Tridge summary
Early watermelon seedlings grown in early season in Çukurova region, one of the important watermelon production centers of Turkey, were brought together with the soil. Watermelon producers, who prepared the planting area, brought the seedlings together with the soil with great effort and covered them with nylon to protect them from the cold. In Adana, where 20 percent of Turkey's watermelon production is carried out, nearly 690 thousand tons of production was carried out on an area of approximately 105 thousand decares last year. It was stated that one-quarter of the watermelon is grown in open field and three-quarters of it is grown in low plastic tunnels under cover, in Adana, where the most watermelon production is made in Karataş, Yüreğir, Ceyhan and Seyhan districts. Registered Adana Watermelon is also harvested early and reaches the table.
