Bonta F1

Bonta F1 Watermelon is an early hybrid of the Crimson Sweet type, developed by the Dutch seed company Seminis. It matures quickly — only 60-65 days after transplanting seedlings to the permanent location, making it an excellent choice for early market production. The plant exhibits vigorous growth and forms 2-3 well-sized fruits weighing 7 to 12 kg, depending on growing conditions. The vines are relatively short, about 1.5 meters, which simplifies care and harvesting.

The fruits of Bonta F1 Watermelon have round or round-oval shape with dense, dark green striped rind, which ensures excellent storage and long-distance transportation without cracking or loss of market appearance. The flesh is bright red, uniform and tender, with high sugar content — 11-12% — giving the watermelon a rich sweet flavor and refreshing aroma. Due to these qualities, the hybrid is suitable for both personal consumption and sale at fresh markets.

A special advantage of Bonta F1 is its high resistance to common watermelon diseases such as Fusarium and anthracnose. The hybrid adapts well to various soil types and weather conditions, allowing cultivation both in open fields and greenhouses. All these characteristics make Bonta F1 Watermelon a reliable and tasty choice for farmers and gardeners aiming to obtain early and high-quality harvests.
