Cucurbita pepo Apollo F1 PMT – A vigorous, early maturing zucchini hybrid with excellent resistance

Cucurbita pepo Apollo F1 PMT is a modern, highly vigorous zucchini hybrid specifically developed for growers seeking high yields, reliable resistance, and consistent fruit quality. This F1 hybrid stands out for its rapid growth, uniform fruit formation, and robust plant habit, making it ideal for both professional cultivation systems and demanding home gardeners. Thanks to its combination of productivity, plant health, and excellent flavor, Apollo F1 PMT is known as one of the most reliable zucchini varieties in the Cucurbita pepo category.

Strong growth and high yield

One of the biggest advantages of Cucurbita pepo Apollo F1 PMT is its very vigorous growth habit. The plants quickly develop an open structure, which promotes both light penetration and air circulation. This results in a crop that is less susceptible to mold and moisture problems. Thanks to this robust plant structure, growers can count on continuous production throughout the entire season.

The hybrid is known for its high yield potential. The fruits develop quickly and are easy to harvest due to their uniform size. Thanks to Apollo F1 PMT's early maturity, the plant produces marketable quality fruits early in the season, which is particularly attractive to commercial growers.

Uniform and high-quality fruits

The fruits of Cucurbita pepo Apollo F1 PMT are deep dark green, cylindrical, and have a smooth, glossy skin. These characteristics make the zucchini very attractive for both fresh market and retail sales. The uniform size simplifies sorting and ensures a professional-looking end product.

In addition, Apollo F1 PMT has an excellent flavor. The zucchini is mild, juicy, and ideal for various culinary uses, such as grilling, stir-frying, soups, salads, and casseroles. Its firm texture allows the fruit to retain its shape during cooking, making it a favorite among both home cooks and food service professionals.

Excellent resistance for robust cultivation

The PMT refers to the hybrid's improved resistance, including to powdery mildew. This fungal disease is common in zucchini cultivation and can significantly reduce production. Thanks to this innate resistance, Apollo F1 PMT plants remain vital and productive for longer, even under less-than-ideal climatic conditions.

For growers, this means fewer crop protection products, lower costs, and a more sustainable cultivation process. The reliability of plant health also makes this hybrid suitable for organic or integrated cultivation systems.

Suitable for open ground, tunnel and greenhouse

Cucurbita pepo Apollo F1 PMT performs exceptionally well in a variety of growing conditions. In open ground, it delivers high yields during the warmer months, while in tunnels or greenhouses, it can be planted even earlier for an earlier start to the season. The plant thrives in nutrient-rich, well-drained soil and requires regular watering for optimal growth.
