Pepino "Konsuelo"
Pepino (Solanum muricatum Ait.)
Is a high-productive vegetable culture for extended growing cycle of winter greenhouses. Plants remind tomato by its biology, leaves are pepper-like, potato-like inflorescence. Plant suits for soil and non-soil cultures. 70-80 days - from shoots to flowering, 75-90 days - from ovaries formation to ripening. Yield reaches up to 28 kg/m2 if the right technologies are used. The average weight of fruit is 300-400 g in summer months and 200 g in autumn months.
Yellow fruits have violet long stripes and points. Fruit is like sweet pepper by its inner structure, but with very thick pericarp up to 5 cm. Flesh is from light to bright yellow, very juicy and melting, moderately sweet. Dry matter is 8-10%. Flesh is rich in carotene (1-2 mg%), ferrum, B group vitamins, etc. The taste and aroma remind melon.
Fruits are recommended for desserts fresh ore after thermal treatment. Very tender flesh doesnt bear mechanic damages, thats why one-piece packing is needed. Undamaged fruits can be kept at the temperature of 5°C from 1 to 2,5 months if collected at the beginning of yellowing, mature fruits - from 2 weeks to 1,5 months. First fruits start to ripe in May - beginning of June, if planted early. A necessity of growing sprouts in Petri cup is an important characteristic.
