Seedless Watermelon Cultivation The watermelon plant (Citrullus vulgaris scard) is from the African Continent precisely from the Kalahari Desert Region. The spreading of this fruit to India, China and America was conducted by sailors and traders. The watermelon fruit has its own characteristic as a fresh and sweet fruit. The water contents reaches 92%, carbohydrate 7% and the rest is vitamin. The watermelon belongs to dry season plants, but recently with more progressive technology development, watermelons can be planted at anytime. To grow fast and well, watermelon needs a dry climate, hot, and has enough water supply. Wet climate  will hamper its growth and is easily attacked by pest, and the productivity and quality of the fruit  will decrease. The development of the watermelon cultivation technology in the sub-tropic is more developed than in its original tropic (tropical area). New species both diploid hybrid (seeded watermelon) and triploid (seedless watermelon) have been f

REVOLUTION AND EVOLUTION After the Neolithic revolution, a further long period of evolution happened in the skills and methods in farming. The plow was originally a digging stick. People soon put a handle on it so it could be pulled and pushed. Around 4500 BC people used animal such as the cow to plow, that was the first step of using power in farming. The next step was  irrigation which means that flowing water through canals into the land that had no available water. If it was not watered, then it would dry. This irrigation enabled many more plats to grow. The Romans realized that the land was less productive after being planted many times, so they began to not plant on the land for a year to preserve its fertility. A small revolution happened when horse-collars were first found and became commonly used in Europe in around 900 BC.. Horse cloth was firstly put on the horse's neck so that it could not pull the plow powerfully. On the other hand, horse-collars put the entire
