Variety description

10 August 2026

The Virtuoso hybrid, also known as HMC 45 2 459 F1, belongs to the netted melon type. This early-maturing plant is characterized as hardy and adapted for cultivation in both open field and film tunnels.

The melon fruits have an oval shape and acquire a yellow background color upon ripening. The flesh of the fruits is firm and sweet. The hybrid is distinguished by stable fruit setting, high concentrated yield, and uniformity of fruit size.

The produce belongs to the LSL type, which ensures a long shelf life and suitability for sale in retail chains. The variety is oriented towards professional commercial production requiring high quality and transportability of fruits.
