The LAKOMKA melon represents a new mid-season variety intended for cultivation in open ground and under film greenhouses. It bears fruit 80-90 days after germination, forming moderately sprawling plants with vine lengths of about 1.5 meters. The fruits have an oval shape, yellow color, and a smooth surface completely covered with a net. The mass of each fruit ranges from 1.5 to 2 kilograms. This variety is distinguished by its resistance to cracking, which ensures the preservation of fruits during transportation and storage.
The melon flesh is light cream-colored, crunchy, tender, and juicy, slightly aromatic, but possesses excellent taste qualities. High flesh sugar content, reaching 8-9%, is maintained even under unfavorable growing conditions, which makes LAKOMKA particularly attractive to consumers who prefer sweet and juicy dessert melons.
The variety is characterized by high endurance to temperature fluctuations and resistance to diseases of the leaf apparatus, which facilitates its cultivation and increases yield. Thanks to these qualities and excellent taste characteristics, the LAKOMKA melon is widely used fresh as a dessert product.
