Mid-early, high-yielding watermelon hybrid. Oval, elongated fruits with thin skin weighing 6-10 kg. Heat-resistant and suitable for long-term storage. The pulp is dark red, grainy, very sweet, juicy, with a strong watermelon aroma (even unripe watermelons with pink pulp are sweet!).
Grown under film and in open ground. For an earlier harvest, grow through seedlings.
If the seeds are treated, the name of the preparation for seed disinfection is indicated at the bottom of the back of the package (for example: Fludioxonil).
* Watermelon pulp contains many different vitamins (PP, C, D, B1, B2 and B6, carotene), it also contains iron salts, copper, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, zinc, folic acid. This combination of vitamins and microelements stimulates metabolic processes in the liver, improves the composition of bile, prevents stone formation in the gallbladder and bile ducts, and has an antisclerotic effect.
In terms of the content of iron salts, watermelon is second only to spinach and lettuce leaves, and in terms of the presence of folic acid it is in first place.
The presence of lycopene in watermelon makes it possible for it to fight cancer cells of many types.
Watermelon seeds are no less useful: they contain 25–30% oil, from which watermelon oil is made, which in its medicinal properties is not inferior to almond oil, and in taste is comparable to olive oil. Watermelon oil contains a lot of zinc and selenium.
Watermelon rinds are an order of magnitude richer in vitamins than the watermelon pulp itself, and they also contain many different amino acids.
