BUTUZ

Stable Yields with Robust Immunity

For those who prioritize consistency in the field, the 'Butuz' zucchini from 'Vashe Khozyajstvo' is a compelling solution to the common issue of plant pathology. Unlike many standard varieties that require frequent chemical interventions, 'Butuz' demonstrates a high level of genetic resistance to the scourge of vegetable crops: Tobacco Mosaic Virus. This cultivar is an excellent choice for growers working in regions with high viral infection pressure.

Agronomic Traits and Harvest

The 'Butuz' cultivar features a bush growth habit, which significantly simplifies maintenance and harvesting. Its compact structure allows for a recommended density of 9 plants per 100 sq.m (sotka) without creating excessive canopy density, which is critical for preventing rot. However, growers should note the maturity timing: this is a mid-to-late season zucchini that begins fruiting between 111 and 120 days. This timeline should be considered when planning production cycles.

• Fruit Weight: 175–300 grams — the ideal size for fresh market consumption and processing.
• Disease Resistance: Exceptional resistance to blossom-end rot, ensuring marketable fruit appearance even during soil moisture fluctuations.
• Plant Health: A strong barrier against viral mosaics and various types of soft rot.

Who is 'Butuz' for?

This variety is a robust tool for those focused on shelf-life and fruit quality. 'Butuz' is not for growers seeking super-early results; instead, it is a choice for the pragmatic agronomist who values resilience against environmental stress. By minimizing losses from viral diseases in the later stages of growth, 'Butuz' offers a predictable return on investment. The dense flesh of the zucchini makes it highly transportable, while its balanced flavor profile ensures consistent demand.
