Texas watermelons less sweet this year, weather to blame

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 09:02:14 GMT

Editor’s Note: The video above shows KXAN News Today’s top headlines for June 9, 2023(KXAN) -- Shoppers buying Texas-grown watermelons may notice a dip in quality this year. According to Texas A&M Agrilife Extension Service experts, frequent rainfall as the fruit grew on the vine led to lower brix measurements compared to recent years. Brix measures sugar in fruit. Despite that, it shouldn't be too difficult to find Texas-grown watermelons. The fruit is growing on more acres in South Texas. Last year, dry conditions meant fewer watermelons available, but they had very high brix scores. The rains this year also meant some growers are dealing with disease like downy mold and a fungus called fusarium. Those things can also lower the quality of the fruit.“Yields are better than last year, but quality is down, and I think if you asked growers, they’d say it’s average across the board,” Juan Anciso, Ph.D., AgriLife Extension horticulturist said. “Harvest is wrapping up in the [Rio Gra...
