Variety description

10 August 2026

The hybrid is used exclusively as a rootstock for professional cultivation of cucurbits. It ensures plant adaptation to various temperature conditions and contributes to increased vigor and productivity of grafted crops.

The rootstock possesses high resistance to Fusarium wilt: to races Fon 0, 1, 2 for watermelon and Fom 0, 1, 2, 1-2 for melon. The seeds are characterized by a large size and high germination energy. It is compatible with various scions, while the organoleptic properties of the fruits of grafted plants can be maintained at the level of non-grafted ones.
