The portioned watermelon Conguita F1 is an early-maturing hybrid of the Shuga Baby type, forming fruits weighing 1.5–2 kg. Ripening occurs within 62–65 days, allowing for a quick harvest. The fruits have a round shape, dark green rind with a dense waxy coating, and red, sweet flesh with sugar content (brix) of 13–14%. The flesh is highly juicy and flavorful, and contains small edible microseeds, making the watermelon convenient for consumption.

The plant exhibits good growth, forming strong stems with dense foliage and excellent coverage ability. The hybrid is resistant to fungal and bacterial diseases and adapts well to changing climatic conditions. It is recommended for cultivation both as seedlings and direct sowing in open ground, under plastic covers or mulch. The optimal planting density is 12–14 thousand plants per hectare.

Watermelon Conguita F1 features excellent transportability and long storage life, making it attractive for commercial cultivation and sales. Due to its compact fruit size and high-quality flesh, this variety is ideal for portioned consumption. Additionally, the hybrid can be used as a pollinator for seedless varieties, expanding its application in agronomy.
