Watermelon Pest and Diseases

Thanks Regie for your comment wherein you asked about a problem in growing watermelon you called speedup (?). To be honest, I don't know this disease or (virus?) yet. Although this will be my third time to venture in watermelon farming, we haven't encountered any major problem in our watermelon EXCEPT, here it is Regie, we have observed that at the later part of December the leaves of the watermelon starts to dried up starting from the oldest leaves. It slowly creeps to the youngest leaves until the plant dies. This happens though during our harvest time already so it is not a big problem anymore.

I wish you could explain in your next comment what were the signs of speedup and maybe you could also share to us your experience so other readers could comment. What month do you usually start planting your watermelon.

And for your added information here are some websites that could give more informations to you about watermelon pests and diseases. Hope it helps.
