EARLY WONDER

The early-maturing dill variety "Early Wonder" is characterized by a rapid maturation period: 30–35 days from germination to harvest of greens, and 58–70 days to technical maturity. The plant is compact, with an elevated rosette and leaves of medium size, medium-dissected, in bright green color without a waxy bloom or anthocyanin pigmentation. At the flowering stage, the plant reaches a height of 85–100 cm, while the stems and leaves maintain a saturated green color throughout the entire vegetative period. The umbel is of medium size, with a diameter of 15–16 cm, and up to 34 first-order rays. The weight of one plant is 20–30 grams, and at technical maturity, 100–120 grams. The variety is distinguished by good resistance to adverse conditions: it withstands both low and high temperatures. Due to its rapid maturity, dill "Early Wonder" is practically not affected by fusarium and powdery mildew, and is weakly susceptible to root rots. This makes it a reliable choice for growing in various climatic conditions and contributes to obtaining a stable yield. To obtain greens, cutting is carried out at a plant height of 20–30 cm. The recommended seed sowing rate for greens is 25–30 kg per hectare. Sowing can be carried out with a row spacing of 15–20x3 cm or multi-row strips (50+20)x3 cm. The yield of greens reaches 1.5–1.8 kg per square meter, and for spices, 2.9–3.4 kg per square meter. These indicators make the variety "Early Wonder" attractive for commercial cultivation and use in cooking.
