Shaman F1 — mid-season diploid watermelon hybrid that matures 75-85 days from seedling to the beginning of fruiting. The plant is characterized by a powerful root system and a medium number of vines, while the leaves have a glaucous-green color and a deeply cut shape, varying from medium to large size. This hybrid is recommended for growing in open ground, both under drip irrigation and on dry land (boron), making it versatile for various cultivation conditions.
Shaman watermelon fruits have an oval-round shape and weigh from 9 to 12 kg; with a good agro-foil, weight can reach 15-18 kg and more. The fruit rind is tough, 1.5-2.0 cm thick, with a weak waxy coating and a characteristic pattern of medium-thickness black-green stripes on a dark-green background. The watermelon flesh is juicy, red, fiberless, with a pleasant crunch and high sugar content — 12.0-13.0% on the Brix scale, ensuring a sweet and rich taste.
The Shaman F1 hybrid has medium resistance to fusarium wilt and anthracnose, which increases its reliability during cultivation. Fruits keep well in the field and store excellently, making this watermelon attractive for both farmers and consumers who value quality and long shelf life.
