Abstract
This study emphasizes the economic significance of watermelon cultivation in the Republic of Serbia, introducing innovative techniques such as seedling production, grafting, mulching with black polyethylene film and low tunnels. Collectively, these methods contribute to earlier planting, improved crop development, and enhanced fruit quality. Grafting, particularly using Lagenaria siceraria and Cucurbita species, positively impacts yields and flowering. The incorporation of black polyethylene film aids in weed control, reduces herbicide usage, and minimizes labor inputs. Low tunnels, with transparent film covers, modify microclimates, allowing for earlier harvests. These integrated practices offer a sustainable approach to advancing watermelon cultivation techniques, potentially influencing agricultural practices on a global scale by promoting efficiency, yield optimization, and resource conservation.
