Vernal

The Vernal F1 eggplant is an early-maturing hybrid developed by the Dutch breeding company Hazera. The vegetation period ranges from 60 to 72 days, enabling early harvest. The plant is low-growing, compact, and well-balanced, with short internodes and a strong bush, ensuring even fruit formation. Vernal F1 exhibits high adaptability to growing conditions and agronomic practices, successfully cultivated both in open ground and greenhouse conditions, and resistant to common viral diseases of solanaceous crops.

The fruits of the Vernal F1 eggplant have an oval-cylindrical shape, dark purple skin, and white flesh. Their length reaches 18–20 cm, weight varies from 150 to 350 grams, and diameter is 6–8 cm. The fruits are characterized by high uniformity, firmness, and appealing appearance. They possess excellent taste qualities, good storability, and resistance to transport, making this hybrid attractive for commercial cultivation and marketing.

Vernal F1 plants produce approximately 8–12 fruits, evenly distributed across the bush, with smooth peduncles that facilitate harvesting. Drip irrigation is the optimal watering method for this hybrid, promoting plant health and productivity. Due to its characteristics, the Vernal F1 eggplant is a high-yielding and reliable choice for farmers and gardeners aiming to obtain quality and early harvests.
