Rebekka F1 Watermelon is a mid-early hybrid developed by the Dutch breeding company Hazera. The vegetative period is approximately 65-72 days from seedling transplanting. The plant features a strong, balanced bush with large, upright leaves and a well-developed root system. It is drought-tolerant and resistant to other stress conditions, making it suitable for cultivation both in open fields and under limited irrigation. For maximum yield, timely fertilization and maintaining optimal moisture levels, especially during the first third of the season, are recommended. Using drip irrigation significantly increases productivity.
The fruits of Rebekka F1 Watermelon have an elongated oval shape with a distinct netted pattern on their firm rind, which provides reliable protection during transport and long-term storage. Fruit weight ranges from 3.5 to 6 kg, making them large and attractive. The flesh is dense, crisp, juicy, and dark orange in color, with high sugar content (approximately 12-13%), vitamins, and fiber. Due to these qualities, the watermelon has an excellent flavor and aroma, making it popular for fresh consumption as well as processing into juices, purées, or baked goods.
Rebekka F1 Hybrid is characterized by excellent transportability and the ability to retain its market appearance and flavor even after long storage and long-distance transportation. This makes it convenient for commercial cultivation and distribution across various geographic markets. Its high resistance to adverse conditions and stable yield make this hybrid an attractive choice for farmers and gardeners seeking high-quality and flavorful watermelon harvests.
