Description
Dark Round Zucchini var. Jupiter F1 is the market leader among round zucchini in the dark green color segment. The plant has medium vigor and a compact growth habit, with no suckers from the stem, making it suitable for vertical cultivation. It produces a very high yield, with fruits that grow quickly. Jupiter offers excellent performance both in greenhouses and in open fields. Its natural resistance to 3 viruses (CMV, WMV, ZYMV) and powdery mildew facilitates organic cultivation, allowing for an extended harvesting period.
Growing Tips
Orto Mio guidelines for the species, to be adapted to the variety, local climate, and cultivation in soil or pots.
Exposure and Temperature
Full sun; warm conditions favor growth. Protect transplants from cold: below 10 °C, production slows down and frost can kill the plant.
Soil and Transplanting
Well-draining soil, preferably pH 6–7. Transplanting from early spring, protected, until August. General spacing 80 × 120 cm; for pole zucchini 80 × 100 cm, unless specified otherwise for the variety.
Watering
Water regularly, generally 1–3 times a week depending on climate and soil. Limit excesses after transplanting, increase during production, and allow the surface to dry between waterings.
Fertilization
Mature organic matter before transplanting and balanced nutrition throughout the cycle. During production, the grower suggests potassium-rich applications every two weeks; avoid excess nitrogen.
Care and Harvesting
Mulch, remove damaged leaves and small deformed initial fruits. Tie pole varieties to a support. Harvest frequently, with young fruits and shiny skin; leave some male flowers for pollination.
