Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is the result of breeding by inter-family crossing within the species. The vegetation period is 90–100 days. Plants have a vining habit and high vigor, which facilitates rapid row closure and weed suppression.

Fruits are dark orange or red-orange in color, with glossy skin and uniform shape. Average fruit weight varies from 1.0 to 1.2 kg. Yield is 16–20 tons per hectare, and the fruit storage period reaches 4–5 months.

To improve pollination, interplanting with the Solor variety in a 2:1 ratio is recommended. The optimal planting density is 11,000–13,000 plants per hectare.
