Variety description

10 August 2026

The hybrid belongs to the mid-early maturity group: ripening periods are 60–65 days from transplanting or 68–75 days from emergence. The plant is characterized by vigorous growth, long vines, and a developed root system, while dense foliage protects the fruits from sunburn.

The fruits have a round or slightly elongated-round shape and striped coloration. The average weight is 9–12 kg, reaching 15–18 kg with good agricultural practices. The flesh is bright red, juicy, with a sugar content of 11–12%, small seeds, and no fibers. The rind is 12–13 mm thick, ensuring transportability.

The variety has high resistance to Fusarium wilt (races 0, 1) and environmental stress factors, including temperature fluctuations. It is adapted for cultivation in open field and under film covers, and is suitable for fresh market sale and processing.
