Watermelon variety ECHARKIA is a mid-season or early-maturing variety with a maturation period of 60 to 90 days, depending on growing conditions. The fruits are oval or round, weighing from 1 to 5 kg, with dense but thin yellow-orange or yellow-golden rind. The flesh is highly juicy, tender, and granular, with a strong aroma and sweet flavor, making this variety especially attractive to fans of aromatic and juicy watermelons.
The plant is medium-vined, with strong and vigorous vines up to 2 meters long, promoting good fruit development. Watermelon ECHARKIA has good transportability, allowing it to maintain fruit quality during transportation. The variety is heat-loving and requires plenty of sunlight, preferring light and fertile soils, and is drought-tolerant, making it suitable for cultivation in hot climates.
For planting, seeds should be sown at a depth of 3–5 cm with a seeding rate of 0.2–0.3 g per square meter. Thanks to its excellent taste, high yield, and adaptability to growing conditions, watermelon ECHARKIA is an excellent choice for both personal gardens and commercial cultivation.
