Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety belongs to the early-maturing group and is capable of yielding about 69% of the harvest within the first two weeks of picking. The plant is a monoecious hybrid suitable for cultivation both in the open field and in cold greenhouses, where it shows good productivity at an appropriate planting density.

Early Dawn melon fruits are characterized by a relatively large weight for early varieties, amounting to about 1.5 kg. Agronomic publications note the variety's resistance to powdery mildew and Fusarium wilt.
