SWEET COB is an early-maturing hybrid pumpkin, which matures 75-85 days after planting 20-day seedlings. The plant is characterized by vigorous growth with a main vine about 1.5 meters long and strong lateral branching. When forming, leave 2-3 vines 60-80 cm long, each forming two fruits. Such structure ensures good fruit development and high yield.
SWEET COB fruits have a round lobed shape and dark green skin. Their mass ranges from 1.5 to 2 kg, and the flesh, 5-6 cm thick, is yellow in color, with a tender texture, medium juiciness and sweetness. The flesh taste is starchy with a slight pumpkin aroma, complemented by notes of nut-melon bouquet. The placenta contains a small number of seeds, which makes the fruits convenient for use fresh and for processing.
The hybrid has high resistance to weakly virulent races of anthracnose, is tolerant to powdery mildew and fusarium wilt, which increases its reliability in cultivation. SWEET COB is suitable for fresh consumption, home cooking and all types of processing. Fruits retain their market qualities for more than 120 days after harvest. The recommended planting scheme is 1.5 by 1 meter, and the yield reaches 4.5-6 kg per square meter.
