According to UF/IFAS Extension, North Florida's 2026 watermelon season overcame drought conditions, a late-season freeze, and early market pressure to deliver excellent yields and fruit quality. As harvest progressed, fruit size improved and strong late-season demand helped strengthen prices, rewarding growers who stayed the course.
That success didn't happen by accident.
Producing a high-quality watermelon crop starts long before harvest—with healthy roots. Strong root systems help plants use water and nutrients more efficiently, better withstand environmental stress, and maximize yield potential and fruit quality throughout the season.
TELONE™ by Teleos soil fumigant gives watermelon growers peace of mind by managing plant-parasitic nematodes before planting. By creating a zone of protection during crop establishment, TELONE™ supports healthy root development, helping growers build the strong foundation needed to get the most from every acre.
Common scab continues to be one of the most challenging soil-borne diseases in potato production, making marketable yield a top priority for growers. If you missed this blog or would like a refresher, it's worth taking another look.
Learn how Strike™, powered by Chloropicrin, is used to help manage common scab and other soil-borne diseases while supporting production efficiency.
