Hello,

I am growing watermelons and bees around for pollination, as baby watermelons are getting dropped after the flowers are turned into baby watermelons (please see the attached photos), most of them will have a blackspot

What should be the solution to prevent falling baby watermelons?

Appreciate any insight or help.

Thanks for the update.

Does yogurt mix with water improve calcium content in soil?

Doubt it.Calcium carbonate in the form of,say, Dolomite Lime is probably what you need,Scatter on the soil and hoe in and water.What is your growing medium in Bahrain?If it it is poor and mostly sand then not holding nutrients and water then plants may simply be aborting because they can't support the fruits.
