Eggplant Vernal

Reliable Yields in Any Environment

The Vernal eggplant from French breeder Vilmorin-Mikado is a proven choice for growers seeking the ideal balance between early maturity and premium fruit quality. Whether grown in open fields or protected environments, this hybrid demonstrates high adaptability, allowing for harvest planning within 60-70 days after transplanting.

Practical Applications and Field Performance

The primary value of Vernal for commercial farms lies in the versatility of its produce. With fruit weights ranging from 100 to 300 grams and lengths of 12-25 cm, Vernal consistently meets the stringent requirements of retail chains and processing facilities.

• Open and Protected Ground: Featuring a robust root system, this hybrid effectively handles temperature fluctuations, making it ideal for spring tunnel cultivation.
• Standardized Appearance: The uniform oval-cylindrical shape and deep dark-purple color provide excellent marketability.
• Logistics: The dense texture of the pulp ensures that fruits remain firm during long-distance transportation without loss of quality.

Integrating Vernal into your crop rotation reduces risks associated with uneven ripening. The plant responds well to drip irrigation and consistent fertilization, which, combined with proper planting density, results in high-quality yields. It is an optimal selection for producers focused on delivering top-tier market eggplants with excellent shelf life.
