Dear Dr. Branislava Lalic,

Regards,

My first reaction to your question is as follows

1. What you heard is correct

2. Scientific reason: The response of water melons to drip or sprinkler irrigation is very good. Even though genetic character plays a dominant role in size of water melons, the seasonal conditions further dominates the genetic character. Example: Under summer conditions and dry weather irrigation improves the size of water melons grown in sandy loam soils

Sincerely,
Dr.Murthy
