The best results are obtained in the number of main branches 1 piece. Watermelon planting distance has an effect on the length of tendrils aged 4 MSPT and sugar content. The best yield is at a planting distance of 80 x 350 cm. Results The interaction between the two had a real effect on the number of leaves. The highest number of leaves was obtained in the treatment combination of 60 x 350 cm planting distance and 2 main branches.
