Water Melon

Watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) is a significant cucurbitaceous vegetable, also known as tarbuj, tarmuj, kaligad, and kalinda across different regions of India. This versatile fruit is grown in various Indian states, each with its unique climate. Despite these differences, watermelons thrive due to their adaptability and preference for heat.

A beloved summer crop, watermelons are cultivated from the lower Himalayan region to the southern and central parts of India. The major watermelon-growing states include Punjab, Haryana, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, West Bengal, Odisha, Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu and Rajasthan.
