"Milk can be used during two stages of watermelon gardening. The first application is to soak the seeds in milk to help them germinate faster -- a real plus if you are in colder areas with short summers. Later, milk can also be used to spray mature vines to help prevent powdery mildew, a common watermelon fungal disease." https://www.hunker.com/13426409/how-to-grow-watermelon-from-seed-with-milk

"If you soak the watermelon seeds in milk before planting them, the seeds soften and germinate more quickly than they would if planted directly in the soil. Although you can soak the watermelon seeds in water, the milk adds extra nutrients upon which the sprouting seedlings feed" https://www.gardenguides.com/94621-soak-watermelon-seeds-milk-before-growing.html

"Cultural practices have been reported to affect quality and phytonutrient content of watermelon [Citrullus lanatus var. lanatus (Thunb.) Matsum. & Nakai]. Knowing which cultivars perform well under various technologies and production systems, and knowing how these systems affect quality and phytonutrient content is imperative to ensure high quality fruit. Organic production and grafting are two cultural practices that are increasing among watermelon producers. Each of these technologies have the potential to interact with cultivars to influence watermelon quality. This review discusses the effects organic culture, input level, and grafting have on watermelon fruit quality." https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Charles_Webber2/publication/255607969_A_review_of_production_systems_on_watermelon_quality1/links/5525969d0cf295bf160eabdd/A-review-of-production-systems-on-watermelon-quality1.pdf
