Cultivation Characteristics

Exposure: Sun
Plants that prefer full sun need south-facing exposure, with at least 6 hours of direct sun per day, including the 3-4 central hours in summer. Exposure indicates how many hours of direct sun are necessary for the plant to grow optimally. It can be full sun, partial shade, or shade, depending on the amount of natural light the plant needs to develop well and produce fruit. This information helps in positioning plants to promote their growth.

Harvest Time: 40 days
Harvest time indicates how many days it takes for the fruit to be ready for harvest (note: ripening may occur at different times than indicated, influenced by climatic factors, irrigation, and soil fertility).

Transplant Distance: 80x100
Transplant distance is the space between plants at the time of planting, both in the row and between rows. Correct spacing avoids competition for light and nutrients, promoting growth and production, while spaces that are too narrow or too wide can negatively affect the quantity and quality of fruits.

Weight: 200 gr
Indicates the average weight of harvested fruits under normal growing conditions. This value can vary depending on factors such as the harvesting stage, fertilization and irrigation practices, and climatic conditions. In initial harvests, the weight may be lower than the values indicated. Furthermore, conditions such as drought, water scarcity, temperature fluctuations, poor or excessive nitrogen fertilization influence fruit growth, which can be higher or lower than expected.

Ideal for Organic Cultivation

Strike F1 Zucchini is easy to cultivate organically thanks to its natural resistance to multiple viruses and powdery mildew, reducing the need for treatments and ensuring healthy and abundant harvests.
