Field guidance (experience-based)

1. Site & soil: Choose well-drained sandy loam to loam with good organic matter. Avoid waterlogging and compact layers.
2. Layout & spacing: Raised beds/ridges aid drainage and warmth. Typical spacing for round–oval types: rows 1.8–2.4 m apart; plants 0.5–0.8 m within the row, adjusted to vine vigor and season.
3. Sowing: Direct seed 2–3 cm deep, 2 seeds per hill; thin to the strongest seedling. Healthy plug transplants are acceptable where practiced.
4. Nutrition: Start with a balanced N–P–K base plus Ca–Mg–S and micronutrients. Split N through early vine growth, flowering, and set; verify with soil/tissue tests.
5. Irrigation: Keep moisture even through flowering and fruit set. Reduce slightly as fruits approach maturity to support sugars and rind integrity.
6. Pollination: Encourage bee activity; avoid non-selective sprays during peak bloom. Manage fruit load for target size (1.5–2.5 kg).
7. Harvest cues: Developed netting, aromatic stem end, and variety-appropriate slip—confirm with field checks before picking.
