Variety description

10 August 2026

The hybrid forms a vigorous, long-vining plant with a developed root system and dense foliage that protects the fruits from the sun. The fruits have a shiny dark green rind with light stripes and bright red crisp flesh with a sugar content of 13.5–14% on the Brix scale.

The period from seedling transplanting to harvest is 65–72 days. Due to the thick and dense rind, the fruits are suitable for transportation. The hybrid is resistant to drought, intense solar radiation, and the main diseases of cucurbit crops.

The crop is intended for cultivation in open field and film greenhouses. The recommended planting density is from 4–5 thousand plants per hectare under rain-fed conditions to 6–9 thousand plants per hectare when using drip irrigation. The fruits are suitable for the fresh market, pickling, and processing.
