• Watermelon can grow in the lowlands, wanting highlands to range, between 0 - 1000 meters above sea level.
• Watermelon is suitable to be planted in areas with bulk ranges between 40-50 mm every month. Watermelon is also suitable for growing in areas with temperatures no more than 25 degrees Celsius during the day.
• The moisture level suitable for watermelon planting areas is low, which is where in the dry watermelon cultivation it is very good for watermelon growth.
• Watermelon is suitable for planting in loose soil with high nutrient content and try to have no weeds on the land and watermelons need direct sunlight. For soil acidity, watermelons can grow well on soil with a normal pH, which ranges from 6 to 6.5.

2. Seed Preparation

Choose the best seeds or seeds for planting.

•  The best watermelon seeds to be cultivated are imported hybrids. These types of seeds have two types, namely tripoid and haploid. Tripoid types usually feature seed shells that are hard enough to need to be stretched first.
• Whereas for haploid species it is quite easy to be cultivated and does not need to be stretched because the seed shell is not as hard as the tripoid type. You can get watermelon seeds for watermelon farmers in your area.
• The next step is to prepare watermelon seeds or seeds.
• If the type has been selected, then the next step is to soak the watermelon seeds.
• After the seeds are stretched, then soak the seeds in a mixture of warm water, growth hormone, bactericidal and fungicide.
• Watermelon seeds are soaked for about 30 minutes, then removed and drained to dry.
• Watermelon seeds are ready to be sown or planted.

3. Planting techniques

The following is the technique of planting watermelon plants correctly.

• After you get the seeds, then you live the seedlings on the land provided. To be better, you can add nutrients to the soil by adding organic fertilizer and manure. Then flush the seeds every morning and evening until new shoots grow.

• If at first you plant the seeds in a polybag, you can move them to the planting media on the land that has been prepared before after turning four weeks.

• Make a hole in the field or plant the plants you have prepared beforehand with a depth of about 8-10 cm.

• Before planting on the planting media, it is best to water the planting hole using the soot so that the land is ready to receive seeds.

• Watermelon seeds must also be soaked with a stimulating solution to grow. This solution is very useful so that the seeds are as strong as possible and not easily attacked by plants or pests. The soaking process takes about 5-10 minutes.

• Then the next step, is to separate watermelon seeds from polybags into the land. Care must be taken in carrying out this step so that the roots are not damaged.

Complete Guidelines for Good and True MANGO CULTURE

Mango trees are the name of a mango-producing plant that is said to have originated from around the Indian border with Burma. Mangoes (Mangifera indica L) are now widely grown and cultivated in Indonesia. Mangoes are included in the group drupa (stone fruit) which has seeds and fruit flesh.

Mango plants are cultivated for fruit. Common ripe fruit is eaten fresh, as a table fruit or ice mixture, in the form of slices or blenders. Young fruit is often visited, or sold on the edge of the road after being peeled, split and equipped with salt spices with chili. Mangoes are also processed as sweets, dried fruit slices, canned and others.

 In various regions of Indonesia, sour (old or young) mangoes are often used as a mixture of chili or fish and meat dishes. Mango plants, including the Anarcadiaceae tribe, form trees with a height reaching 10-40 meters with a stem diameter around 80-100cm.

The stems are gray, the skin is unevenly divided and the sap is clear white. For growth does not require heavy conditions, plants can grow well at an altitude of 300-500m above sea level, especially on loose soil with a pH of 5-6 and well watered. The climate needed for growth is one that has a dry period of about 3-4 months.

1. Types of Mango Varieties in Indonesia
In Indonesia there are many types and varieties of mangoes, the forms of mangoes vary depending on the variety. There are mangoes that are round, ovoid and elongated oval. Some of the well-known mango varieties in Indonesia include gadung mango (arumanis), mango golek, honey mango, manalagi mango, cengkir mango, kedong mango and so on.

The mangoes are round, mango gedong varieties, gadung mango, indramayu mango and oval-shaped arumanis mango. Whereas the fruit mangoes are elongated in shape.

2. Requirements for Growing Mango Plants
Mango plants, including the Anarcadiaceae tribe, form trees with a height reaching 10-40 meters with a stem diameter around 80-100cm. The stems are gray, the skin is unevenly divided and the sap is clear white. For growth does not require heavy conditions, plants can grow well at an altitude of 300-500m above sea level, especially on loose soil with pH 5.0 - 6.0 and well-watered. The climate needed for growth is one that has a dry period of about 3-4 months.

3. Preparation of Mango Seedlings
Before planting mango trees, of course the first thing to do is prepare plant seeds. Choose quality seeds from varieties that are preferred or adapted to local market tastes. Mango seeds can be obtained by buying at the seller of plant seeds. Be careful when buying seeds, make sure you buy seeds at a trusted trader.

 Mango plant seeds can also be made by yourself. Mangoes are propagated generatively and vegetatively, which is propagation through seeds, grafts and grafting. To obtain optimal results you should avoid multiplying plants from seeds. Plants that are propagated through seeds take a long time to bear fruit (7 more years). plant properties also often deviate from the nature of the parent.

4. Preparation of Mango Cultivation Land
The garden is cleared of bushes and wild plants, then the spacing is measured and marked by stakes at the planting point. The spacing of mango trees is ideally 10 m x 10 m or 12 m x 12 m. Make a planting hole at the specified planting point.

On hard-textured soil planting holes are made with a size of 1 m x 1 m x 1 m. Whereas in loose soil the planting hole can be smaller, which is around 60 cm x 60 cm x 60 cm. The planting hole is then left open for approximately 1 month to neutralize the soil pH. It is better to measure the soil pH and sprinkle agricultural lime if the pH is below 5.0.

When making a planting hole, the excavated soil should be separated between the topsoil and the subsoil. Topsoil is the topmost layer of soil which contains a lot of nutrients. 7 or 10 days before planting holes are backfilled using a mixture of soil and manure, with a ratio of 2 parts of soil and 1 part of manure. When stockpiling the hole, the soil layer should be conditioned as before, that is, the bottom layer is first inserted and then the next layer of soil is followed. Making a planting hole should be done about 1 month before the rainy season arrives.

6 Important Stages of How to Plant Shallots

The right way to grow shallots is highly recommended so that the harvests will be abundant and prosper the farmers. Understandably, red onion is a commodity whose price is not stable, sometimes it rises dramatically sometimes falls free under production costs. This was also compounded by the government's import policy which increasingly made the price of local shallots fall on the market.

Before knowing more about how to plant a good onion, it is important to know that some of the conditions for growing shallots are:

Determining the location of Shallot Cultivation

• Habibat Suitable land is the main step in planting shallots. The land should be in the lowlands with a height of 0 - 800 meters above sea level.
• The temperature suitable for the growth of shallots is 27 - 32 degrees Celsius so that onion requires more than 12 hours of sun exposure every day.
• Soil pH on land for shallots growing media ranged from 6-7
• Generally the way to grow shallots is best suited for paddy fields and moorlands. Has a medium texture to clay.
• Good soil moisture for planting shallots is 60 - 70%
• he type of soil that is good for planting shallots is Latosol, Glei Humus, and Alluvial soil.  
• After knowing the conditions for growing shallots, and you have found suitable land according to these criteria, the next step in how to plant good and correct shallots is:

Stages - Stages of How to Plant Shallots 

1. Soil Processing Spread the soil by hoeing and leaving the soil for 1 week so that the soil poisons are carried away by the wind and evaporated exposed to sunlight If the soil where the onion is planted has acidity levels of less than 6-7, give dolomite lime with a dose of 1 ton / 1 hectare of land. Let the soil stand for 2 weeks after the calcification process before the planting period arrives.

•  The next way to plant shallots is to make beds on land with a width of approximately 1 meter, 30 cm height of beds with a length adjusted to the area of ​​land.
• Give a distance between beds of about half a meter, the distance can also be used as a ditch for rainwater roads with a depth of 30 cm.
• Then hoe and sprinkle beds as deep as 20 cm, flatten the shape of the beds not curved like the shape of a bed in general. 
• Add enough manure, spread it over the beds and stir it with soil so that the fertilizer is evenly distributed and mixed with soil beds
• Leave the beds that have been given fertilizer for 1 week before planting onion seeds.

2. Selection of Shallot Seeds
The next step in how to grow shallots is the selection of superior onion seeds. This is very important because excellent seeds determine the yield of your onion plants.
If the age of your red onion bulb is less than 2 months, then cut the tip of the tuber about ½ cm. The function of these cuts is to speed up the growth of shoots on your onion plants.

3. Planting Shallots
The right way to grow shallots is to immerse all parts of tuber into the ground. For spacing between tubers is 20cm x 20cm if you feed during the rainy season. Whereas if you start planting in the dry season, then the spacing is made more tightly - about 15cm x 15cm between tubers. The purpose of planting shallots is so that the onion bulbs can grow optimally.

4. Plant Watering
In the onion plants that are only 0-10 days old, regular watering is done every morning and evening. Only after more than 10 days, the intensity of watering can be reduced to once a day in the evenings and mornings.
5. Advanced Fertilization
The next step in how to plant the right shallots is the provision of supplementary fertilizer to maintain the availability of nutrients needed by the onion plant. Subsequent fertilization can be started when the age of the plant reaches the age of 2 weeks with a dose of Urea fertilizer 90 kg, ZA 200 kg, and KCI 110 kg per one hectare of land.

Causes and Solutions of Fast Motor Batteries Due to Charging the Motor Not Normal

On motorbikes there is electrical energy that is centered on the battery as the main energy for electrical components on a motorcycle, such as turn signal, clask, electric starter, etc. While batteries rely on electrical energy generated from the charging system. If Charging the Battery is Not Normal, what happens is that the battery is easily overdrawn. And that will affect the overall electrical system of the motorbike.

Causes - Causes of Motorcycle Battery Problems also vary, starting from the cable that is shorted or there are damaged components. Instead of being confused about the causes of fast motor batteries, read the reviews

Causes of Motor Batteries Not Filling and Fast Pressing
Before we discuss more about what causes motor batteries to overtake quickly and not fill up, it would be better to know the components contained in the motorcycle filling system. There are two main components to the filling system on a motorcycle, these components are Charging Spools and Kiprok.

Both of these components play a vital role in the filling process in motorcycle batteries, if one of the two does not function, what happens is the battery will quickly overdraw.
Ways to Overcome Abnormal Charging Systems

If the two components are kiprok and the spool is the culprit of the problem and the cause of the battery does not fill so that the battery is fast overdrawn.

So how to overcome this is to eplace these components.
Especially for filling spools, it can be rolled back. But I don't recommend this method, because the act of rolling up the spool will not make the spool last long.

damaged charging components that cause fast battery to come out. So through this article I will give a few tips on how to check spools and kiprok that are dead or not functioning.

Check Charging Without Tools For DC Ignition Motors

If your motor uses DC ignition, then the way to check the motor charging that is not working is by removing one of the battery cables. Turn on the motor first, then remove one of the battery cables, if the motorbike suddenly dies. You can be sure that your motorbike charging system is abnormal or damaged.

Because there are two charging components, namely spools and kiprok (regulator). So what you have to do next is to make sure which component is damaged, the spool is filling or kiprok. The trick is to check the charging cable from the spool. The charging cable from the spool is usually white.

But for simplicity, just take a white or yellow cable. Because not all motors have the same color cable, it is better to make sure you know the spool cable is charging.

IndonesiaCheck Charging Without Measuring Instrument for Ignition Motor AC
Actually there is no difference in checking charging spools between AC or DC ignition motors. It's just that, on an AC ignition motor, there is no way to check charging by removing one of the battery cables. So, you have to check directly from the charging spool cable. The method is the same as a DC ignition motor.

Check Charging Using a Volt Meter Tool

This method can be used for all motorbikes and even cars, for those of you who want to open a business buying and selling batteries, you must at least master this knowledge. The method is quite easy by connecting the Volt meter to the positive and negative battery poles. then turn on the engine. which need to be noted are as follows:
The machine is normally off the voltage between 12.4V - 13V, if it is below 12V it might be a low battery, it can be too low.

Engine On Voltage must be> when the engine is off and <15V. If you don't want to go up, it means filling is problematic, but if it rises more than 15V, the charge is called Over charge (Kiprok is damaged).

The disadvantage of this trick is having to buy a voltmeter. Price range starts from 50rb - 5m on the market.

Thus Article Causes and Solutions of Fast Motor Battery Battery Due to Charging Motor Not Normal. Actually there is still one more way, namely using an Ammeters, but this method is rarely used. Because, using the Voltmeter alone is more than enough Hopefully useful.
