Pumpkin is the star of the show with its surprising weight. Weighing 1158 kg, the pumpkin has been recognized as the largest in North America. The pumpkin was featured in the World Pumpkin Weight Competition held at the Great Pumpkin Farm. This is a pumpkin grown on the farm of Scott Andrews, a native of New York.
Pumpkin also won the prize money of 5500 dollars (four hundred and forty eight thousand rupees). The match was on October 2. From October 16, pumpkins are also on display. Pictures of Bheeman Mathanga, who won the prize, are now viral on social media. Scott Mathan was raised by providing exactly everything that Mathan needs for growth including fertilizers and seaweed. Irrigation was also done at regular intervals.
Scott’s decision is to fully utilize the prize money he received for agriculture. The amount will be set aside to prepare the soil for planting the next crop. Scott says the most important challenge he faced was keeping the moths safe from other species. Even the cats tried to scratch on it, thinking it was a big chair due to its size. Mathan was able to reach the competition only because he was very attentive and careful.
Although he won a prize in the competition and became a star in the news, Scott’s is not the biggest mathan in the world to date. The record has been achieved by an Italian farmer. The weight of the pumpkin he grew was 1225 kg.
