The Sharehan variety zucchini is an ultra-early hybrid developed by Enza Zaden Beheer B.V. and approved for use since 2022. The plant is bushy, strong, with short internodes and large green leaves that are deeply lobed and mottled. The fruits are cylindrical, 16-18 cm long and weighing 300-400 g, light green in color with a glossy skin and small dots, without ridges. The flesh is white, dense, and moderately juicy. The maturation period is 35 to 43 days, allowing for early harvest in spring, summer, and autumn rotations. The variety demonstrates stable fruit set even under insufficient light and adverse weather conditions. Yield is stable and medium, reaching approximately 15.54 kg per square meter. Due to its comprehensive resistance to diseases and viruses, particularly powdery mildew, as well as drought and cold tolerance, Sharehan ensures a guaranteed harvest. These qualities make it a reliable choice for cultivation both in open ground, under plastic coverings, and in greenhouses. The Sharehan zucchini not only boasts high productivity but also excellent fruit quality, which makes it ideal for long-distance transport—crucial for commercial cultivation and sales. Thanks to its characteristics, this hybrid is suitable for cultivation in various climatic conditions and seasons, ensuring a stable and high-quality harvest.
