Karat

Carat — a high-yielding, early-maturing variety: flowering occurs on day 62, fruiting on days 110-118, and biological maturity on days 143-150 after emergence. The plant is semi-determinate, medium-height, spreading, reaching 60-80 cm. Fruits are round, dense, juicy, fleshy, weighing 60-70 g, measuring 4×4-5 cm; pericarp thickness 6-8 mm. Fruits point upward; in technical maturity, they are yellow with a faint purple tint at the fruit apex, turning orange during ripening and red in biological maturity. Plants are highly decorative, exhibit good remontancy, and bear heavy fruit loads. This is a salad-type variety, suitable for cultivation in open ground, greenhouses, indoors, on balconies, and in offices. Resistant to tobacco mosaic virus. Plants require staking or support.
