Variety description

10 August 2026

The plant has medium vigor and good fruit coverage. Fruits are round, weighing 1.0–1.2 kg (up to 2 kg), covered with a fine dense netting; upon ripening, the rind turns golden-yellow, which serves as an indicator of harvest readiness. The flesh is green, distinguished by an aromatic taste and a sugar content of up to 16–17° Brix.

The hybrid belongs to the 'Long Life' or 'Semi Long Life' category, which ensures a long shelf life for the produce. It possesses high resistance to Melon necrotic spot virus (MNSV) and Fusarium wilt (Fom:0, 1, 2). It also has intermediate resistance to powdery mildew (Gc:1, Px:1, 2, 3, 5, 3.5) and aphids (Aphis gossypii). Suitable for growing in greenhouses and open field.
