The pulp is white, juicy. The yield is 2.0-3.2 kg / m2.
1,0 g = 8-10 seeds.
Agrotechnics.
Patisson is grown on light soils, where potatoes, cabbage, onions or legumes grew in the previous year.
Before sowing, the seeds are treated in a solution of potassium permanganate, then washed with clean water. Sowing in open ground or under film shelters (approximately in May, when the soil warms up to a depth of 8-10 cm to +13+14°C) according to the scheme 100 x 70 cm.
Seeds are sown in holes 2-3 pieces at a depth of 5-6 cm. After the emergence of shoots, weak plants must be removed.
The seedling method of growing is also used to obtain an earlier harvest. In this case, seedlings with 2-3 true leaves are planted after preliminary hardening, one per hole, after the threat of frost has passed.
Further care consists of regular loosening, weeding, watering and fertilizing.
