Ever wonder why some watermelon farmers stick toothpicks into watermelon stems?
Actually, this genius trick saves watermelons. By doing this, farmers reduce the water supply and nutrients going into the watermelon.
After a long dry period, when sudden heavy rain comes, the watermelon absorbs too much water. As a result, the sugar gets diluted, making the watermelon less sweet.
Also, since the watermelon’s outer skin can’t stretch, the internal water creates high pressure, which cracks the watermelon.

Acupuncture for your melon

Great trick!
This is not a good track this is a bad one
This trick is one hell of a labor to do on all the melon in the field
I’m calling 🧢 this so cap
Hmmm, smart.
Seems like a China problem not an American problem
Horrible idea
before stone above watermelon now toothpicks. what's next?
The old men here in mississippi used to syringe there watermelons at the nipple and put sugar water in there to make it more sweet. There all past away now and I dont think anyone knows that trick.
smart
We don’t
I still remember China's exploding watermelons 😒
No, try something more fun than incompetent satire shorts
This happened to my tomato it cracked when just about to be ripe
No i never wondered why they stick toothpicks in watermelon stems. Smh
Oh my god i have to spread to the word
While this might not be a great solution watermelons are native to the Africans deserts so it is true that they explode with high rains when forming tho a toothpick isn’t going to do much it’s just Mother Nature and you have to have the right environment and the right luck
Any one wonder?…excuse me did anyone else not know that they stuck toohpicks in the stems to begin with? Even if its not accurate.
Have you ever wondered why ? No never ,did u still watch the whole thing ?yes ofc
If he said water melon 27 times
Wow so crazy 🤣
i never wondered this
No, I've never wondered why. These videos are getting out of hand
Material
Genius lol
And why would you want it less sweet and broken?
Quietube
We're watermelons like this always or were they bred like this for reasons like more sugar, seedless, and other reasons?
Ever wonder why something you had no reason to ever observe is a thing that happens?
I never wondered before I saw this video and now I won't have to wonder
Ever wondered about.. dude i didnt even know that
Free Diddy
That wouldn't happen if you never water the watermelon and let the rain do it for u think about it

I worked a entire season @ a Watermelon farm & This wuz Nevur dunn!!!😮😮🎉
????????? What 🤯?
Ever wonder why watermelon has a biggest gyatt
I grow em for conpetition. None of this is true. Melons crack cuz of lack of nutrients or a drought/heat. The toothpick thing was supposed to cause the plant to rebuild itself around the wound which would increase waterflow and nutrients to the melon but its been proven nonsense. Want to know a thing that works? Only have one melon on a specific vine. Not per plant, per vine and you want it to be the closest melon to the root.
Idk about the toothpick but i do know that Water melon get diluted when it rains before harvest
Cheee
