Mumashan Jicama Seeds – Early Maturing Variety, Easy to Grow, Juicy, Sweet, and Excellent Flavor

Overview
Mumashan Jicama (Pachyrhizus erosus) is a special variety known for its exceptionally early maturity and excellent eating quality. Unlike common jicama varieties, Mumashan can be harvested more than 15 days earlier than typical early-maturing types, giving growers a significant advantage for early-season market sales. The tubers are persimmon-shaped with light yellow skin and shallow groove markings, while the vines are slender with small leaves – an ideal combination for efficient field production.

Key Features
• Extra Early Maturity: Harvests 15+ days ahead of standard early jicama varieties – perfect for getting to market first.
• Attractive Tubers: Persimmon-shaped, light yellow skin with shallow grooves; average single tuber weight approximately 1 kg (2.2 lbs).
• Superior Eating Quality: Sweet, fragrant, crisp, and juicy. The flesh is pure white with a tender, crunchy texture and absolutely no fiber or grit.
• Thin but Tough Skin: Easy to peel, yet strong enough to protect the tuber during harvest, handling, and transport.
• High Yield & Easy to Grow: Naturally productive with minimal care requirements – suitable for both small farms and home gardens.
• Slender Vines & Small Leaves: Allows for better air circulation, easier field management, and closer planting.

Cultivation Guidelines
• Climate: Prefers warm conditions.
• Sunlight: Requires full sun (at least 6–8 hours daily) for optimal tuber development.
• Soil: Prefers loose, well-drained sandy loam or loamy soil. Avoid heavy clay and waterlogged areas.
• Water: Keep soil evenly moist during germination and early vine growth. Reduce watering as tubers mature – too much water can reduce sweetness.
• Harvest: For early market advantage, begin checking tubers approximately 15 days earlier than you would with common jicama varieties.
• Storage: Harvested tubers store well in a cool, dry place for several weeks.
