Watermelon Research and Outreach at Texas A&M

In the United States watermelons have long been associated with family gatherings during the summer months. However, in more recent years, watermelons have become available year round, making them a daily part of many peoples lives.

Our love for watermelons transcends even further than our borders. Watermelons are even more popular overseas, in such places as Asia, China, Turkey, Korea and the Middle East, with Egypt and Iran leading.

This web site therefore will be solely dedicated to watermelons and the research conducted by Texas A&M University and its sytem counterparts, Texas Cooperative Extension and Texas Agricultural Experiment Station. We hope that this web site will enable you to make better decisions for your watermelon crop and at the same time hope you enjoy the information we have to offer.
