The AMBAR pumpkin variety is a mid-season, semi-bush type with short vines, characterized by high yield and quality fruits. The ripening period ranges from 110 to 125 days, allowing harvest in August-September. Fruits have a flat-round shape, dark green skin with black or light speckles, and weigh between 2 to 4 kg. The diameter is approximately 19 x 15 cm, with a flesh thickness reaching 5 cm. Plants are powerful and sprawling with branching, resistant to major pumpkin diseases, ensuring a stable and guaranteed yield. The pumpkin flesh is intensely orange, dense, and contains high levels of dry matter, beta-carotene, and ascorbic acid (vitamin C). Consequently, this variety has excellent taste qualities and is valuable for dietetic and infant food. The pumpkin does not accumulate heavy metals or nitrates, allowing cultivation even near roads. Additionally, adding fruits to cattle feed increases milk yield, highlighting its nutritional value and versatility. AMBAR pumpkins are distinguished by a long storage period—up to March, making them convenient for extended use. Due to their small size and portioned shape, they are convenient for use and storage. For successful cultivation, it is recommended to sow seeds in open ground at soil temperatures of +25 to +30°C from May to June with an optimal planting scheme of 100x140 cm. The variety is unpretentious and suitable for various climatic conditions, making it an attractive choice for gardeners and farmers.
