Seedless Watermelon Info
Seedless melons are referred to as triploid melons while ordinary seeded watermelons are called diploid melons, meaning, that a typical watermelon has 22 chromosomes (diploid) while a seedless watermelon has 33 chromosomes (triploid). To produce a seedless watermelon, a chemical process is used to double the number of chromosomes. So, 22 chromosomes are doubled to 44, called a tetraploid. Then, the pollen from a diploid is placed on the female flower of the plant with 44 chromosomes. The resulting seed has 33 chromosomes, a triploid or seedless watermelon. The seedless watermelon is sterile. The plant will bear fruit with translucent, nonviable seeds or "eggs."
Seedless Watermelon Growing
Seedless watermelon growing is much the same as growing seeded varieties with a few differences. First of all, seedless watermelon seeds have a much more difficult time germinating than their counterparts. Direct sowing of seedless melons must occur when the soil is at a minimum of 70 degrees F. (21 C.). Ideally, the seedless watermelon seeds should be planted in a greenhouse or the like with temps between 75-80 degrees F. (23-26 C.). Direct seeding in commercial enterprises is very difficult. Over seeding and then thinning is a costly solution, as seeds run from 20-30 cents per seed. This accounts for why seedless watermelon is more expensive than regular watermelons. Secondly, a pollinizer (a diploid) must be planted in the field with the seedless or triploid melons. A row of pollinizers should be alternated with every two rows of the seedless variety. In commercial fields, between 66-75 percent of the plants are triploid; the rest are the pollinating (diploid) plants. In order to grow your own seedless watermelons, either begin with purchased transplants or start the seeds in a warm (75-80 degrees F.) environment in sterile soil mix. When the runners are 6-8 inches long, the plant can be transferred to the garden if soil temps are at least 70 degrees F. or 21 degrees C. Remember, you need to grow both seedless and seeded watermelons. Dig holes in the ground for the transplants. Place one seeded watermelon in the first row and transplant seedless watermelons into the next two holes. Continue to stagger your plantings, with one seeded variety to every two seedless. Water the transplants in and wait, about 85-100 days, for the fruit to mature.
