1. Water reasonably. To prevent soil drought, watering should be flexibly controlled according to the characteristics of the watermelon's growth stage and the soil moisture in the field. According to the weather forecast, analyze the weather conditions during watering and the weather trend in the next few days, reasonably determine the watering time and quantity, avoid rain after watering, and prevent excessive water in the field from cracking the melon. 2. Pay attention to drainage after rain. After heavy rain, the rainwater in the melon field should be drained in time to avoid accumulation of water in the field. Excessive soil moisture can easily cause melon cracking. 3. Avoid using swelling agent. Generally, the swelling agent contains hormones, which may increase the cracking of watermelon after use. 4. Reasonable fertilization. According to the fertilizer requirement of watermelon, formula fertilization is implemented, phosphorus and potassium fertilizer are increased, and nitrogen fertilizer is less. Potassium fertilizer is a more nutrient element needed for the growth of watermelon peel. Increased application of potassium fertilizer can enhance the toughness of the peel and effectively control the production of split melon. 5. Harvest in time. The watermelon should be collected at noon on a sunny day or in the afternoon when the water content of the watermelon is low, and handle it gently to avoid mechanical collision.

Pay attention to prevent watermelon cracking
During the watermelon planting process, split melons occur from time to time, which are mainly divided into field-growing period melon and harvest period. In the field growth period, split melons are mostly caused by improper planting and management and unbalanced watermelon growth and nutrition; in the harvest period, split melons are mostly caused by large amounts of watering before harvest or vibration and beating during harvest. The splitting of melon will affect the yield and benefit of watermelon in the future, and there is no way to recover it, which will seriously affect the production benefit. At present, the rainy season has entered, with drought and little rain in the early period, and the growth of watermelons is slow, especially to prevent cracking. Preventive measures should be done in the following points:
