Variety description

10 August 2026

The hybrid forms a vigorous plant with good leaf cover that protects the fruits from the sun. The ripening period varies from 75 to 110 days depending on growing conditions. The oval-round fruits reach a mass of 1.5–3 kg. The rind has a cream color and a uniform net; the seed cavity is small and dense.

The flesh of intense orange color is distinguished by a high sugar content reaching 15% on the Brix scale. The hybrid belongs to the LSL type, which ensures good transportability and a long shelf life. The plant possesses high resistance to Fusarium wilt and intermediate resistance to powdery mildew.

The variety is suitable for cultivation in open field and film greenhouses. The produce is intended both for sale on the fresh market and for the processing industry.
