Basic Introduction to Seedless Watermelon in Mayang

Mayang is a magical seedling town where the soil is mostly weathered from purple shale, and the temperature is 1-2 degrees higher than surrounding counties and cities, making it the best area for growing watermelons. Mayang watermelon is unique in that it contains a variety of nutrients and chemicals. According to analysis, in 500 grams of Mayang watermelon flesh, it contains 6 grams of protein, 40 grams of sugar, 15 grams of crude fiber, 0.6 grams of potassium, 50 milligrams of phosphorus, 30 milligrams of calcium, 1 milligrams of iron, 10 grams of sodium, 42 milligrams of magnesium, 14 milligrams of chlorine, 15 milligrams of ascorbic acid (vitamin C), 1 milligrams of niacin, 0.85 milligrams of Huluo I, 0.85 milligrams of vitamin A, 0.25 milligrams of sulfate (vitamin A), and 0.25 milligrams of riboflavin (vitamin B2). The protein and sugar contained in 500 grams of watermelon flesh are equivalent to the heat generated by 56 grams of wheat (corn or barley) (about 20 kcal), which can provide energy for normal physiological activities of the human body

Mayang people have a traditional habit of planting watermelons, but before the 1980s, farmers only planted seed watermelons and rarely sold them to the outside world, resulting in unclear economic benefits. In 1988, the County Foreign Affairs Office (now the Economic and Trade Bureau) introduced seedless watermelon seeds and planting techniques, which were first successfully tested in Limu Village, Lanli Town, and gradually promoted throughout the county. The area expanded from just over ten acres to over 40000 acres, with an annual output value of one billion yuan. Due to the geographical, climatic, and soil conditions in Mayang, seedless watermelons have good quality and higher sugar content than other similar products. Its single fruit weighs up to 20 kilograms, usually 6-12 kilograms, and the product is exported to more than ten provinces and cities such as Guangdong, Shenzhen, Hong Kong, and Guizhou
