The objective of the study is to analyse the production costs and marketing channels of watermelon in Banaskantha District, Gujarat, India. Owing to maximum area under cultivation in the district, Deesa, Dantiwada, and Lakhani were purposefully chosen for the study. A multistage sampling method was applied and a total of 120 watermelon farmers, 20 intermediaries, and 20 consumers were selected for data collection. The basic tabular approach and the percentage method were the statistical tools used for data analysis. To estimate the cost of cultivation of the watermelon crop, the cost concept was applied. The marketing effectiveness of the channel was examined using Shepherd's and Acharya's approaches. The watermelon cultivation required a total of 78 man days of labour, including 58 family labours and 20 hired labours. Cost A was ₹19671.95, Cost B was ₹17172.05, and Cost C1 was ₹186087.15, for a total cultivation cost (cost C2) per hectare of ₹204695.87. This resulted in the overall cost of production per quintal of ₹537.82. According to the findings, the majority of farmers (61.67%) sell to contractors, followed by retailers (22.50%) and direct customers (15.83%). It was found that channel I had the highest marketing efficiency (Shepherd's method) i.e., 33.67, followed by channel II with 9.87 and channel III with 5.97. The most effective channel in terms of marketing efficiency (Acharya's method) was channel I, with an efficiency of 33.67, followed by channels II and III with an efficiency of 1.33 and 0.76 respectively. This demonstrated that watermelon farming was profitable in the research area.

The Citrullus lanatus (Watermelon) is one of the most important fruit crop grown in tropical regions and eaten around the world. Generally, the smallholders' farmers, especially those located in remote villages are inadequately informed about technical knowledge, inputs and efficient use of resources causing poor production and low productivity. Thus, the present study aimed to examine the efficiency of resources used in watermelon production in Haryana and Karnataka. The total of 120 watermelon growing respondent farmers were selected using multi stage sampling technique from the two watermelon growing states in 2022. In Haryana, the results showed that, the estimated MVP/MFC ratio (Resource use efficiency) of different inputs used in production was revealed as positive and indicating their underutilization, except for the machine labour where it found to be negative and indicating its over-utilization. Whereas, in Karnataka the estimated MVP/MFC ratio (Resource use efficiency) of seed cost found to be negative and indicating its over-utilization. We concluded that inadequate training, exposure, knowledge gap and extension service to farmers in study sites were the reasons that farmers were using their resources inefficiently. It is recommended that the farmers involved in watermelon farming in the surveyed sites should be provided with additional proper technical knowledge for optimizing the use of resources which would help to increase the production and return from watermelon production.

“…China is the largest producer and India occupies third position (Anonymous, 2019). Tamil Nadu has an area of 6.420 ha with water melon and with productivity of 32 t/ ha (Santosh et al, 2018), and the cultivation is restricted to Villupuram, Namakkal, Ariyalur, Coimbatore and Erode districts (Chadha, 2013). More than 35 varieties/ hybrids are grown in India.…”

A field experiment was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of certain selective insecticides against the serpentine leaf miner Liriomyza trifolii (Burgess) in water melon Citrullus lanatus (Thunb.) Matsum and Nakai. The hybrid F1 (Melody) was sown in protray and 13 days old seedlings were transplanted in the main field. Significant less live mines (1.48/leaf) was observed with chlorantraniliprole 18.5%SC @0.6 ml/l. This was followed by flubendiamide 39.35%SC @0.6 ml/l (2.09/leaf) and indoxacarb 14.5%SC @0.65ml/l (3.05/leaf). Leaf damage/plot was 2.72, 3.48 and 4.03%, with chlorantraniliprole, flubendiamideand indoxacarb, respectively. Significantly maximum yield of fruits (25.5 t/ha) was obtained withchlorantraniliprole given as three sprays at 15 days interval. Thus, chlorantraniliprole 18.5%SC @0.6ml/l can be recommended against L. trifolii in water melon.
