Iron Cap is a hybrid of pumpkins with medium-sized fruits ranging from 2 to 3 kilograms, sometimes reaching 3.5 kg. The plants are trailing with a long main tendril and large green leaf blades. The fruits have an oval or flat-oval shape, dark green color with a bumpy and slightly ribbed surface, and are segmented with small grooves. The pumpkin flesh is orange, medium thickness, dense, crunchy, and medium juicy, possessing a sweet taste and high consumer qualities. Iron Cap plants differ in high growth vigor and resistance to adverse factors, including heat, which contributes to good fruit setting and increased yield. The hybrid is characterized by high marketability of the crop, which makes it attractive for fresh consumption and distribution through retail networks. The fruits are well transported and retain their market qualities for a long time — up to 200-220 days after harvest. The hybrid seeds are small, white, and elliptical in shape; the mass of 1000 seeds is about 84 grams. The yield of marketable fruits reaches 2.6 kg per square meter. Iron Cap is suitable for cultivation in various conditions and is recommended for personal subsidiary farms. Due to its characteristics and resistance, this hybrid is an excellent choice for those who appreciate pumpkin quality, long-term storage, and high productivity.
