The watermelon variety of BASF has reached the market with a quality and homogeneous production.

Bengala F1, the watermelon variety from Nunhems, BASF's horticultural brand, guarantees excellent production, with homogeneous fruits and no cupping problems, very common currently due to thermal fluctuations. After eight years in the market, it continues to lead the early and extra-early greenhouse segment (transplants from the end of December to February 20), thanks to its great setting capacity in conditions of low temperatures and short days.

BASF is a company that creates innovative solutions for growers and helps them in the task of guaranteeing food for everyone.

In the opinion of José Luis López, watermelon sales specialist at BASF Vegetable Seeds, Bengala F1, provide peace of mind to the growers and give some cost savings. Thanks to the advantages of its fruit set and homogeneous sizes can be harvested all at the same time.

One more virtue, according to López, is its precocity. "Bengala F1 is up to five days ahead of the rest of the varieties in its segment, allowing the farmer to be the first to reach the markets."

Additionally, Bengala F1 has an excellent internal quality, its intense red color, great flavor, low presence of veins and fibers stand out. This variety is also adapted to early outdoor crops in Almería, Murcia, Seville or Córdoba, where it is offering very good production and quality results.

In the perfect combination, Kalanda F1 is the Nunhems micro-pollinator for the 1st greenhouse segment. It has the same exterior appearance as the Premium F1, but with a larger caliber, between 3 and 4 kilos and more has no hollow problems.
