　　"Yihe" Watermelon is a brand-name product recognized by the China International Agricultural Expo and is a certified green food. The "Yihe" watermelon was first planted and developed in Jiangdai Village, Xijiao Town, Xinghua City — known as the "Number One Watermelon Village of Taizhou, Jiangsu Province." It currently comes in multiple series including Xiaolan, Texiaofeng, Jingxin, Sumi, and 0 Melon. Its "base material" is a specially prepared "light substrate" made from special stone materials, cake fertilizer, chicken manure, and rice husks. Fertilization, pollination, vine pruning, water control, and fruit weight are all carried out according to standardized procedures, resulting in watermelons with excellent taste, color, and shape, along with high sugar content (central sweetness reaching 13.3%). This has made them widely popular.
