AU Producer Watermelon — an early-maturing variety developed by the German seed company Agri Saaten GmbH, intended for main cultivation and dryland farming without irrigation. This variety is characterized by high adaptability to various soil types and climatic conditions, as well as resistance to major pathogens of cucurbit crops. The plant is vigorous with a strong root system that penetrates deep into the soil and effectively nourishes fruits even in hot weather. Large, dense leaves provide reliable protection for fruits against sunburn.
The vegetation period is 72-80 days, making it an early-maturing variety. Fruits have a round-oval shape with relatively thin green rind adorned with dark green stripes. The flesh is bright red, crisp, juicy, and sweet with an intense aroma reminiscent of childhood. Sugar content (Brix) reaches 12%, significantly higher than many other producers. Fruits exhibit high market appeal — they are uniform in size and shape, free of deformities, and possess excellent storability, allowing them to be stored in the field for three to four weeks after ripening.
A key feature of this variety is its ability to withstand adverse conditions: seeds can remain in cold soil for up to three weeks without damage, and fruit set forms even under unfavorable weather conditions without dropping off. The variety demonstrates high resistance to diseases, including Fusarium oxysporum and other pathogens. Thanks to these qualities, AU Producer is a competitive choice for farmers seeking high-quality, flavorful watermelon harvests.
