Watermelon RUBIKON

Rubikon F1 watermelon is a mid-season hybrid with a powerful trailing plant and a long main tendril. The leaves are of medium size, lobed and wrinkled, and a rich green color, which ensures good foliage and covering ability of the plant. This variety is intended for growing in open ground and is characterized by resistance to such diseases as fusarium and anthracnose, which increases its reliability and yield.

Rubikon watermelon fruits have a wide-elliptic shape with a bright green background and dark green blurred stripes of medium width, while spotting is weakly expressed. The mass of each fruit is from 10 to 12 kilograms, and the rind has a medium thickness, which contributes to the preservation of fruits during transportation and storage. The flesh of the watermelon is pink-red in color, of medium density, with a good taste, which makes it attractive to consumers. Seeds are small or medium-sized, brown in color with a pattern in the form of dots.

Rubikon F1 fruits retain their marketing qualities for 20-25 days after harvesting, which allows for the realization of the crop with minimal losses. With proper agronomy, up to 8.5 kilograms of watermelons can be collected from one square meter, which makes this variety profitable for growing both in personal holdings and for commercial purposes.
