The MAESTRO zucchini is an early-maturing, high-yielding parthenocarpic bush-type hybrid with a compact and weakly branching plant. It begins fruiting as early as 40-43 days after germination, ensuring a long fruiting period of over two months. From 3 to 5 fruits ripen simultaneously on a single bush, which facilitates the uniform harvest. The plant is well-adapted to various growing conditions, including open ground and temporary film coverings, and is distinguished by high resistance to drought, cooling, and diseases, particularly powdery mildew.
The MAESTRO zucchini fruits are cylindrical, uniform, and weakly ribbed, featuring a light greenish-white color with small spots. Fruit size varies from medium to large, with a weight from 450 to 1000 grams and a length up to 19 cm. The flesh is creamy, of medium density, tender and crisp, making this hybrid particularly attractive for home cooking. The fruits maintain high flavor qualities even when overripe and have good shelf life, which facilitates their storage and transportation.
MAESTRO is ideal for diverse applications: from fresh consumption to canning and making zucchini paste. The recommended planting density is 2 plants per square meter, ensuring a yield of from 8 to 11 kg per square meter. Due to the combination of early maturity, resistance to unfavorable conditions, and excellent flavor characteristics, this hybrid is an excellent choice for gardeners aiming to obtain a stable and high-quality zucchini harvest.
