Sustainable yield for long-term storage

The «Bylinka» pumpkin variety, developed by the Institute of Vegetable and Melon Growing of the UAAS, is a staple of Ukrainian selection chosen by farmers focused on extended shelf life and versatility. The plant features indeterminate vines, requiring adequate space for development but rewarding the grower with a high fruit load.

Practical use scenarios

• Fresh Market Versatility: With a fruit weight range of 1 to 8 kg, this variety allows growers to meet diverse market demands, from portion-sized pumpkins for retail chains to larger ones for wholesale markets.
• Storage Strategy: The primary advantage of «Bylinka» is its exceptional shelf life. It enables farms to store their harvest and wait for higher market prices during the winter season.
• Processing: Its structural density and pulp quality make it a reliable choice for food production, including purees and juices.

The variety is easily identifiable by its dark green stripes, providing a high commercial appeal. While the vine growth requires management in smaller plots, «Bylinka» thrives in open field conditions. This variety is an essential tool for those looking for a predictable and robust yield that retains its quality long after harvest.
