Mango Watermelon Pilot Testing

A Mango and Watermelon Pilot Testing Farm is an essential step for evaluating crop performance, soil suitability, and farming techniques before large-scale production. This farm is designed to test different varieties of mango and watermelon under local climate conditions, ensuring optimal growth and high yield. It allows farmers to assess factors like soil fertility, irrigation methods, pest control, and fertilizer efficiency. By experimenting on a smaller scale, farmers can identify the best practices for sustainable and profitable farming.

For mango, the pilot focuses on evaluating grafted varieties that offer faster fruiting, disease resistance, and superior fruit quality. Proper spacing, pruning, and irrigation methods are tested to ensure healthy tree development. For watermelon, the farm tests seed varieties for sweetness, size, disease resistance, and adaptability. Drip irrigation and mulching are often applied to conserve water and control weeds.

This pilot project also provides valuable data for improving crop yields, reducing risks, and minimizing costs. It serves as a training ground for farmers, investors, and agricultural researchers to learn modern farming techniques. Successful results from the pilot farm will lead to scaling up production, ensuring high-quality fruits for both domestic markets and export opportunities.
