• Growing Tips:
• Prefers loose, deep, and cool soil.
• Propagation is done by seed, either directly in the ground or through seedling trays for later transplanting.
• Maintain a distance of 1-1.60 m between rows and 0.9-1 m between plants.
• For direct sowing, plant 3 seeds per hole. In trays, utilize 1-2 seeds per cell depending on germination success.
• Germination requires soil temperatures above 18°C and optimal growth at 25-30°C.
• Harvest from 40-50 days after sowing, depending on conditions.

With good growing conditions, yields of 30-50 Tm/Ha can be achieved. However, care is required to minimize issues from fungal infections and undernourishment during growth. This Early Zucchini features light green fruits with pale gray spots, demonstrating rapid growth—10 to 15 days earlier than traditional varieties.
