Rapid

The RAPID watermelon is an ultra-early hybrid distinguished by its rapid maturation—fruits are ready for harvest as early as 55-58 days after germination. This variety features large, round fruits weighing between 9 and 11 kg, with red, tender flesh and high sugar content, ensuring excellent taste. The watermelon contains few seeds, making it particularly attractive to consumers.

The RAPID hybrid is adapted for cultivation in extremely hot climates, possesses high resistance to sunburn and fruit cracking, significantly improving crop quality and shelf life. Additionally, the variety shows high resistance to diseases such as Fusarium and Anthracnose, reducing the risk of losses and the need for chemical protective measures.

The RAPID watermelon is characterized by a long storage period after harvest and good transportability, making it profitable for commercial cultivation and distribution over long distances. The recommended sowing rate is 7,500-8,500 seeds per hectare, ensuring optimal planting density and high yield. All these qualities make RAPID a leader among ultra-early large watermelons, especially in regions with hot climates.
