Duke Watermelon is a high-yielding hybrid variety known for its vigorous vine growth, uniform fruit development, and excellent transportability. The plant produces strong, healthy vines that support consistent fruit setting and optimal performance throughout the season.

Fruits are oval to oblong-shaped, weighing around 5–7 kg, with a deep red, crisp, and juicy flesh encased in a medium-thick green rind with light stripes. The sweetness is remarkable, with TSS levels between 12–13%, making it ideal for both local markets and long-distance shipping.

This variety offers strong tolerance to Fusarium wilt and Anthracnose, ensuring a healthy crop and minimized loss even under challenging growing conditions.

Best suited for the Summer and early Kharif seasons, Duke Watermelon performs best in warm climates with well-drained soils, delivering uniform fruits with excellent shelf life and consumer appeal.
