Not every gherkin hybrid is built for the export market. The difference lies in consistency, processing quality and harvest performance.
Introducing INDAM 18, an export-quality pickling cucumber hybrid developed for growers and processors who demand reliable results throughout the crop cycle.
With uniform dark green, cylindrical fruits, a preferred length-to-diameter ratio (3.3–3.6), high spine density and excellent firmness after processing, INDAM 18 is designed to meet the quality standards of the pickling and export industry.
Beyond fruit quality, INDAM 18 delivers where it matters in the field:
• Strong plant vigour with robust lateral branching
• More productive shoots for sustained fruiting
• Cluster fruit setting for continuous harvesting
• Easy flower detachment and efficient picking
• High-quality fruit mass (QFM) and superior marketable yield potential
For commercial gherkin cultivation, success depends on balancing processor expectations with grower profitability. INDAM 18 is developed to help achieve both, delivering dependable field performance alongside export-ready quality.
