Watermelon Rainbow

The Rainbow watermelon is a medium-late maturing variety, ripening 80-90 days after germination. The fruits are round with a smooth surface and light green color with dark green stripes that sometimes merge. The rind is of medium thickness — from 10 to 13 mm — ensuring good transportability and fruit preservation during transit.

The flesh of the Rainbow watermelon has a raspberry-red hue, granular texture, and high juiciness. It features pronounced sweetness with sugar content ranging from 8 to 11.5%, and contains about 10-12% dry matter and 9.8 mg% vitamin C, making this variety not only delicious but also nutritious. The sensory evaluation of the flesh reaches 4.7 points, confirming its high flavor quality.

Average fruit weight ranges from 5.5 to 6.5 kg, and yields on dry soils can reach up to 40 tons per hectare. The seeds are large and light brown. The Rainbow watermelon is suitable for cultivation in various climatic conditions and is ideal for fresh consumption due to its juiciness and sweetness.
