MULAT

Technical Potential of 'Mulat' Eggplant

Developed by the Russian company 'Vashe Hozyaystvo' (breeder: A. V. Kudryashov), this eggplant variety is engineered for consistent yields. The primary advantage of 'Mulat' lies in its vegetative plasticity and fruit shape variability, which helps mitigate risks associated with deviations from standard agrotechnical practices.

Morphological and Quality Characteristics

A key feature of 'Mulat' is the wide weight range of its marketable fruits: from 200 to 500 grams. This allows growers to manage harvesting schedules effectively: early harvesting yields medium-sized fruits (200–300 g), ideal for canning, while allowing fruit to mature on the bush longer results in specimens weighing 400–500 g, which are highly sought after in the fresh produce market.

• Fruit Formation: The genetic profile of the variety allows for a transition between classic cylindrical and rounded shapes based on light exposure and temperature, without compromising the internal taste quality.
• Pigmentation: The intense dark violet skin color is the result of a high anthocyanin content, ensuring both an attractive commercial appearance and extended shelf life during transit.
• Pulp Texture: Dense and devoid of bitterness, a result of targeted breeding to minimize solanine levels.

From a technical standpoint, 'Mulat' from 'Vashe Hozyaystvo' demonstrates strong regenerative capacity following temperature stress. The plant maintains a balanced leaf canopy, which prevents fruit overheating and supports active photosynthesis throughout the season. It represents a reliable choice for producers prioritizing predictable yields and culinary versatility.
