Melon Rebekka

Rebecca F1 watermelon is a mid-late maturing hybrid, developed based on the popular Raymond F1 variety and features improved characteristics. The fruit ripens in approximately 65-72 days after transplanting. The plant forms a balanced, moderately sprawling bush with large, raised leaves and a strong root system, providing resistance to drought and other stressful conditions. Mature plants exhibit high productivity, especially when using drip irrigation and timely fertilization, significantly increasing yield.

Rebecca watermelon fruits have an oval, elongated shape with light-orange rind featuring a distinct netted pattern characteristic of pineapple type. Average fruit weight ranges from 3.5 to 6 kg. The flesh is dark-orange, juicy, crisp, and has a rich sweet flavor with sugar content around 12-13%. The aroma is deep and pronounced, making this watermelon especially appealing for fresh consumption. Thanks to its good transportability and ability to retain flavor during prolonged storage, Rebecca F1 is also suitable for processing into juices, purées, and baking.

The variety exhibits high resistance to diseases, including fusarium, as well as cracking and heat stress. Rebecca F1 watermelon seeds are treated with fungicide, ensuring their readiness for sowing and promoting successful cultivation. For maximum yield, it is recommended to monitor soil moisture levels during the first weeks of vegetative growth and ensure regular fertilizer application. This hybrid is an excellent choice for open-field cultivation, combining high productivity, resistance, and outstanding taste qualities.
