Variety description

10 August 2026

The Rebecca F1 hybrid belongs to the midi-watermelon category. The plant has medium vigor and developed foliage, which provides protection for the fruits from the sun. The variety is characterized by high productivity and the ability to set fruit consistently.

The fruits have a round shape and a crimson-type raspberry-red rind. Fruit weight varies from 4 to 5 kg when grown in greenhouses and from 6 to 8 kg in open field conditions. The flesh is firm, crisp, deep red in color, and contains small seeds.

The hybrid is intended for early planting in open and protected ground, including the use of temporary plastic covers. Cultivation as a grafted crop is permitted. The produce is suitable for both the domestic market and export.
