The culture of watermelon is a cucurbit of economic and social importance in Brazil, however, still has inadequate management of lime and fertilizers, which can trigger nutritional disorders. Thus, the objective was to omit the macronutrients in the begin fruiting describe, portray the evolution of the symptoms of deficiencies in watermelon and determine the leaf macronutrient content of the organ in which it was displayed the causative symptom of deficiency. The experiment was conducted in a greenhouse at Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP), Jaboticabal /SP. We used the hydroponic system nutrient film technique. The treatments were: complete nutrient solution and omissions of each of the macronutrient. With the omission of nutrients in plants in begin fruiting, symptoms of N and Ca deficiencies were the first to be observed. Nitrogen deficiency causes cessation of growth, inhibition of lateral branches, general chlorosis and necrosis in old leaves. With the omission of P deficiency symptoms initially occur in old leaves with chlorotic and wrinkled areas, which subsequently progress to necrosis. The K deficiency causes symptoms of deficiency in older leaves, which begins with marginal chlorosis, progressing to the entire limb and later evolving to necrosis. With Ca deficiency, the new leaves are deformed, with chlorosis and marginal necrosis, curved edges down, thick leaf blade, wrinkled and necrosis in meristems. The omission of Mg initially causes symptoms of deficiency in older leaves with internerval chlorosis, whitish necrotic points with irregular contour, tissue death, thick reticulated and edges of curved sheets up. The N, P, K, Ca and Mg in the leaf and on the occasion of deficiency are are 9.7; 1.4; 7.1; 1.8 to 1.8 g kg-1, respectively
