Tina

Watermelon Tina is a medium-early variety with a vegetation period of 70-72 days, allowing harvest within relatively short timeframes. The fruits are oval-shaped and colored yellow-orange without pattern. Their weight ranges from 0.9 to 1.4 kilograms, with individual specimens reaching up to 2.5 kilograms. The fruit surface is smooth with a thin rind and medium-density fine-meshed netting. The flesh is white with possible greenish tinge near the rind, medium-thick, tender, firm, very juicy and sweet, ensuring high flavor quality rated 4.6-5.0 points. The flesh contains approximately 9.6% soluble solids, total sugar — 5.8%, and vitamin C reaching 20.5 mg%. These indicators make watermelon Tina not only tasty but also nutritious. The variety has high yield — 15 to 16.9 tons of quality fruit per hectare, confirming its economic attractiveness for cultivation. The variety is drought-resistant and moderately resistant to diseases including leaf bacterial blight and melon aphid, which simplifies care and reduces harvest loss risks. Watermelon Tina fruits have medium storability and well-tolerate transportation, making them convenient for long-distance distribution and storage. High transportability and commercial yield, reaching 180-200 kg per hundred square meters, allow using this variety both for personal consumption and commercial cultivation. Thanks to its flavor quality and resistance to adverse conditions, watermelon Tina is an excellent choice for gardeners and farmers.
