The high flavor quality and internal structure of the fruits ensure their popularity in the fresh vegetable market.
The Valigora hybrid exhibits high resistance to stress, water deficiency, and diseases such as cucumber mosaic and green mottle mosaic. The plant quickly absorbs water and nutrients, contributing to a high yield. It is recommended to grow this variety as seedlings in greenhouses, allowing for effective control of growing conditions and a consistent, high-quality harvest throughout the season.
