Products and breeding groups

The melon hybrids presented on this page are derived from crosses between maternal and paternal pure lines. In some melon types, the number of Iranian melon hybrids developed domestically is limited, and expensive imported seed may not be fully adapted to the climate and cropping conditions of different regions. The company’s breeding program focuses on developing and evaluating Iranian hybrids based on pure lines.

Within this program, parent lines are improved, and replicated and regional evaluations are carried out to assess hybrid performance and adaptation. Program target traits include high yield, marketable fruit size and shape, keeping quality and transportability, and, in netted types, uniform fruit netting. Relative tolerance to diseases such as Fusarium wilt, cucumber mosaic virus (CMV), and zucchini yellow mosaic virus (ZYMV) is also among the evaluation objectives; the level of tolerance for each hybrid should be confirmed separately with the technical team.

The company’s open-field tomato breeding program covers four main fruit types. All hybrids in this program are determinate, and relative tolerance to tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV) is among their evaluation objectives. The exact level of tolerance for each hybrid can be confirmed with the technical team.
