Pumpkin Poyanin

Pumpkin variety "Poyanin" is a new variety from the Institute of Vegetable and Melon Growing and belongs to the muscat varieties. The fruits have a elongated-pepper or oblong-oval shape with barely noticeable ribs and reach up to 60 cm in length with a weight of about 4–10 kg. The pumpkin skin is smooth, glossy, pink or light-brown in color, while the flesh is dense, juicy, and orange, with excellent flavor matching the best varieties. Due to these qualities, the pumpkin is ideal for making porridge and other dishes. The variety is medium-maturing, and the fruits begin to ripen as early as July, allowing for harvest in the middle of the season. The pumpkin has high transportability and good storability, ensuring long-term storage without quality loss. The plant prefers warm and sunny conditions, grows rapidly, and forms dense foliage on fertile, loose soils, especially thriving on soils enriched with organic fertilizers. For successful cultivation, regular watering and feeding are recommended. In addition to culinary use, well-matured "Poyanin" pumpkins can also be used for decorative purposes. Their attractive appearance and large size make them suitable for floristry and decoration. Thus, this pumpkin variety combines excellent taste, ease of storage and transport, as well as decorative value.
