Itaca F1

Itaca F1 — is a mid-early, high-yielding eggplant hybrid, distinguished by excellent fruit set under various growing conditions. The plant produces elongated fruits measuring 5-6 x 25-28 cm, with a deep black color and uniform shape. The flesh is white, free of bitterness, making them especially appealing for culinary use. Almost no spines are present on the calyx, facilitating harvesting and fruit handling.

The hybrid is recommended for cultivation both under plastic coverings and in open ground, allowing adaptation to different climatic conditions. The optimal planting density is 18-23 thousand plants per hectare, which contributes to high yields with proper care. Due to its resilience and stable fruit set, Itaca F1 is suitable for both commercial cultivation and home gardening.

Successful eggplant cultivation requires warm conditions and adequate humidity, as growth slows below 20°C, and insufficient moisture leads to fruit drop and deformities. Choosing a fertile, well-drained soil also contributes to maximum yield. Itaca F1 combines high fruit quality with adaptability, making it an excellent choice for both enthusiasts and professionals.
