Westar Seeds International, Inc. has joined the fray with their own brand-new hybrid grey zucchini variety, named Isabella.
Boasting superior genetics, quality, disease package, flavor, and yields, Westar Seeds is proud to roll out their latest hybrid zucchini variety—the Isabella hybrid grey zucchini.
The strong breeding lines in Isabella make it a grey zucchini that out-yields its competitors—and today’s leading established varieties on the market— every time.
Depending on climate conditions and skills of the grower, Isabella is expected to easily produce 200 to 300 more boxes of squash per hectare compared to other grey zucchini varieties.
Adding to its edge, Isabella also touts the widest disease package on the market, especially for Mexico. Westar reports resistances to Papaya Ringspot Virus (PRSV), Squash Leaf Curl Virus (SLCV), Watermelon Mosaic Virus (WMV), and Zucchini Yellow Mosaic Virus (ZYMV).
Isabella’s fruit quality is also second-to-none, with reported better flavor than other grey zucchinis. The plant also grows in a unique shape, making harvests exceptionally easy and more efficient than ever before.
With a remarkably early maturity date as well, growers are the very first to market with tons of product, amazing yields, amazing quality, and remarkable profits—all of which makes Isabella seed immediately pay itself off for the buyer, despite slightly higher priced hybrid seed.
Westar is confident this new variety will lead the charge anew compared to already established hybrid grey zucchinis on the market, with a test planting scheduled this week (the week of Feb. 26th, 2018) to demonstrate and prove Isabella’s amazing characteristics.
Results will be open to the public in about 45 days, dates pending. Westar’s trial planting of Isabella this week, along with a comparative competitor planting, is expected to reach maturity around this time.
Field days for farmers, established customers, new customers, and seed industry leaders to observe Isabella’s clear advantages are to tentatively be held in El Centro, California; Guadalajara, Mexico; and Morgan Hill, California.
Westar has been hard at work expanding their hybrid squash programs in various regions around the world for many years. This includes Mexico and the Middle East, all while linking up with the seed industry’s greatest leaders to collaborate and expand their high-level breeding program.
Many new squash varieties have been in the works, including dark green and round zucchini varieties, with the Isabella hybrid grey zucchini being their latest successful development—and ready to be shared with the public.
WeStar may be late to the game developing its own highly competitive grey zucchini variety. But they’re assured—despite being a dark horse—that this brand-new, unbeatable seed strain will be a cut above the competition.
