Lagenaria «MACHIS» – first-generation hybrid created for growing as a rootstock. The plant features a thin and tall stem, allowing the watermelon grafting point to be placed at a sufficient distance from the ground, thereby reducing the risk of the scion's root system. Due to this structure, the plant ensures cleaner growth of the main fruit.
«MACHIS» possesses high resistance to fusarium and other fungal diseases, making it particularly valuable for farmers seeking to reduce crop losses due to illnesses. High resistance levels allow using seeds in various climatic conditions without the need for frequent fungicide application.
Seeds of this variety are available as a first-generation hybrid and are intended exclusively for use as a rootstock. They sprout easily, develop quickly, and ensure stable growth, making them an ideal choice for commercial watermelon and other large vegetable plantations.
