Sol Dorado Formerly RML 5432-VP
Sol Dorado is a new Western Shipper cantaloupe with
excellent potential for commercial fresh markets. In the Imperial Valley, Yuma, and
Central Arizona, this early-maturing variety has delivered concentrated fruit sets of
highly uniform fruit with small, tight cavities and thick, dark orange flesh high in
sugars.
Commercial and company trials indicate that Sol Dorado
prefers the cool-to-warm and warm-to-cool conditions typical of the Desert Southwest
during early-season spring and fall plantings. |
