Variety description

10 August 2026

The rootstock is intended for melon grafting and is characterized by medium vigor and a good balance of development. It ensures high fruit set at low temperatures, which makes it suitable for early planting seasons.

The plant possesses resistance to Fusarium wilt (races 0, 1, 2) and powdery mildew. As this product is a rootstock, it is not intended for the production of marketable fruit, and their quality characteristics depend on the chosen scion.
