The period from germination to the first fruit harvest is 40-45 days, allowing for a quick harvest. The plant is indeterminate, weakly branching, with a female flower type, ensuring uniform and prolonged fruiting. Leaves are large and green, and the number of female flowers per node is predominantly one, promoting the formation of high-quality zucchini.

Zucchini are dark green, medium-ribbed with white hairs and spines, do not yellow, and maintain their market appearance for a long time. The taste of the cucumbers is excellent, they are juicy and free of bitterness, making them suitable for fresh consumption and salting without long-term storage. The hybrid exhibits high market yield, reaching 9.9-11.5 kg per square meter under plastic coverings.
Nalетayka has good cold resistance and resistance to major diseases, such as cucumber mosaic virus (CMV), olive spot, and root rot. These qualities make the hybrid a reliable choice for cultivation under various climatic conditions, ensuring a stable and high-quality harvest.
