Watermelon variety Sodim (Volgogradsky) is an early and high-yielding type, distinguished by high marketability and good transportability. The fruits of this variety have a round shape and green color, with a weight ranging from 5 to 6 kilograms. The flesh is a vibrant bright pink, characterized by tenderness, juiciness, and sweet taste, and is also rich in nutrients, making it especially attractive to consumers.
The variety exhibits high resistance to cold and diseases, which contributes to its long-term storage and quality retention during transport. For successful cultivation, seeds should be sown after the threat of frost has passed and the soil has warmed to +14...+16°C. Early-maturing varieties, such as Sodim, are typically planted from mid-May to late May, following a planting scheme with 70-100 cm between plants and 1.2-1.5 meters between rows. Seeds are sown 4–6 cm deep into moist, light soil.
Growing watermelon Sodim requires adherence to agronomic recommendations, ensuring a high-quality harvest with excellent taste characteristics. Due to its cold resistance and storability, this variety is suitable for regions with variable climates and allows for a stable yield of sweet and juicy fruits that retain their qualities during storage and transport.
