Breeding and Producing Organic Seeds Desert is a new hybrid zucchini in the Vitalis assortment for open field and tunnel production with proven yield and earliness. Desert produces dark green uniform fruits that set well in cool conditions, with a low percentage of aborted fruits. Cylindrical fruits are uniform, and are slightly speckled. Open, compact plants allow for easy harvest. Flowers stay open for a longer than average period during the day, allowing for better pollination and fruit set. We chose this variety’s name because of its impressive tolerance to drought stress. In field trials, Desert has shown strong tolerance to Powdery mildew (Px) in fall plantings, offering organic growers opportunity for late season planting. Also resistant to Cucumber mosaic (CMV), Zucchini yellow mosaic (ZYMV), Watermelon mosaic (WMV), and Papaya ringspot (PRSV) viruses.
