The 'Autumn' melon variety is a medium-maturing trailing variety developed at the Federal Scientific Center for Vegetable Growing and adapted for cultivation in the climatic conditions of the North Caucasus and Lower Volga regions. This variety is characterized by high yield and compact plant growth, making it suitable for successful cultivation even on small plots. The period from germination to harvest ranges from 74 to 96 days, making it convenient for obtaining fruits with medium maturity.
'Autumn' melon fruits weigh from 1.6 to 2.5 kg and are characterized by a yellow color with a dense net on the surface and a thin, flexible rind. The flesh has a greenish tint, medium density, and is tender, juicy, and melting in texture with a pleasant aroma reminiscent of pineapple. The sugar content in the fruits reaches 8.8%, ensuring high taste qualities. The variety is resistant to cracking, which, combined with flawless transportability, allows the fruits to maintain their commercial appearance during long-distance transport.
'Autumn' melon is undemanding in care and planting, but to obtain worthwhile yields, it is recommended to observe the features of agrotechnology. Thanks to stable yield and uniformity of fruits, this variety is popular among gardeners and farmers seeking to obtain high-quality and tasty melons with minimal labor costs.
