Zucchini NICCA

Compact choice for early harvests

The 'Nizza' squash from the 'Lans' company is an ideal solution for those seeking the perfect balance between ease of harvest and high marketability. Thanks to its bush-type growth habit, this variety fits seamlessly into intensive planting schemes, allowing for maximum efficiency in every square meter of land or greenhouse. The absence of long vines significantly simplifies plant maintenance: weeding, fertilizing, and harvesting are faster and result in less damage to the foliage.

Fruit characteristics and culinary potential

The primary advantage of 'Nizza' lies in its fruit geometry. The round shape makes this squash highly sought after in both professional culinary settings and home preservation. A weight range of 200–500 grams is the perfect 'portion-sized' standard, ideal for stuffing, baking whole, or decorative slicing.

• Light-green skin: looks attractive on the shelf and maintains its aesthetic appeal for a long time when stored correctly.
• Uniformity: fruits are easily calibrated during sorting, ensuring a consistent product for the market.
• Stable yield: genetic breeding by 'Lans' is focused on high output throughout the first half of the season.

Practical experience shows that this variety performs best when grown in open soil with the use of plastic covers during the early stages of development. The plant responds well to drip irrigation, which is critical for developing tender flesh. During harvest, it is important to avoid letting the fruits grow too large: in the sub-500 gram range, the skin remains soft and the seeds are nearly invisible, which is a key requirement for the end consumer.
