ARAL F1

Aral F1 zucchini is an ultraprecocious hybrid developed by the Japanese breeding company Sakata. This variety is characterized by a short vegetative period — from 30 to 35 days — allowing for very early harvest. The plants are bushy, open-type with a compact, sturdy structure and short internodes, which contributes to high productivity and rapid recovery after stressful conditions such as drought. The hybrid exhibits high resistance to low temperatures and complex diseases, including zucchini and watermelon mosaic virus, significantly increasing potential yield and extending the fruiting period. Aral F1 zucchini fruits are cylindrical, 12–30 cm long and 4–6 cm in diameter, with light green skin and white, uniform flesh with a delicate flavor. They feature a dense structure, preventing mechanical damage during harvesting, storage, and transport. The fruits do not become tough and retain their quality even when overgrown, making them versatile for various uses. Suitable for culinary processing, pickling, canning, and production of zucchini caviar. Agronomically, the Aral F1 hybrid is suitable for both field cultivation and growing in plastic greenhouses, with a recommended planting density of 10–14 thousand plants per hectare. Pollination is performed by bees, ensuring good fruit set, and several fruits can develop in a single leaf axil. Due to its characteristics, this variety is an excellent choice for obtaining early and stable high-quality zucchini yields.
