After that, farmers cultivate a round watermelon as usual in accordance with the variety, fertilized, watered and principally treated deh. After the size of the watermelon reaches half of the maximum size, the best fruits are selected then mold boxes made of wood fitted (currently made of acrylic). The period of installation of the box is usually after the age of 40-45 days since flowering..

When the watermelon approaches the harvest time, about 5 days before the harvest the check boxes are opened. It aims to beautify the outward appearance and make it sweeter.
