Eastern shipper • F1 Hybrid • Sweet Melon • Vegetables

Outstanding Qualities

Very good internal quality
Firm, sweet flesh
Average fruit weight of 1.5 – 2.0 kg
Very high yield potential

Adore is an Eastern Shipper type melon, competing directly against varieties such as Athena. Adore has vigorous plants with good fruit set and high resistance against Powdery mildew race 1 and 2 (Px: 1, 2) (ex Sf) and Fusarium wilt race 2 and 3 (Fom: 2, 3). Because Adore’s fruit is slightly smaller than that of Divine, Adore can be used for warm season production and Divine for cooler seasons.

Special Varietal Requirements

Sufficient potassium and calcium are vital when fruit begins to develop for improved shelf life and flavour
