Switti melon, also known as Swit Pineapple, is a popular variety with oval fruits weighing between 1.5 and 2.5 kg. The skin is thin, yellow-green, and the flesh is white-yellow, juicy, and has excellent taste qualities. This variety is distinguished by its sweetness, juiciness, and aroma, making it especially appealing to consumers.
The plant is resistant to fungal diseases and drought, which facilitates its cultivation in various conditions. For sowing seeds, a soil temperature of not lower than +12°C is recommended. Ideally, the melon grows on soils rich in organic matter and with a neutral reaction, which contributes to obtaining high-quality and large fruits.
The Switti variety is suitable for sale in fresh form as well as for long-distance transportation due to its excellent commercial appearance and tough skin. These characteristics make it in demand among both farmers and buyers who appreciate tasty and aromatic melons.
