Questions about Squash Extra Maligat Seeds
What is Extra Maligat squash?
An open-pollinated squash (kalabasa, Cucurbita maxima) selected for the dense, fine-textured, maligat eating quality Southeast Asian buyers pay attention to.
How long does it take to harvest, and how big is the fruit?
Fruit matures about 75 days after direct sowing. The vines produce dark green fruit in the 3 to 4 kg class, a practical size for wet market and food service trade.
How is it planted?
Direct-seed into mounds or furrows in full sun on free-draining ground. The vines are vigorous and give good ground cover between rows.
Is it a hybrid?
No. It is open-pollinated (OP), so the seed can be bought in bulk without hybrid pricing.
How do I order, and what documents come with the seed?
Ask for a quotation with your quantity and delivery location. The quotation confirms pack sizes, germination data for the current lot, minimum order, lead time and delivery terms (Ex Works Selangor, Malaysia, unless it names FOB or CIF). Where the destination country requires one, export orders ship with a phytosanitary certificate issued by the Department of Agriculture Malaysia (DOA). Import permits are the buyer's responsibility.
Documents available
Technical Data Sheet (TDS), Certificate of Analysis (COA) with germination data, Safety Data Sheet (SDS) where applicable, and, for export, a phytosanitary certificate issued by the Department of Agriculture Malaysia (DOA) are available on request. Seed lots are germination- and purity-tested to ISTA and AOSA methods.
Limitations and site considerations
Field results depend on crop system, soil, rainfall, planting method, seed quality, storage, timing, and post-establishment management. Adjust recommendations to local conditions, and contact us before ordering if you are unsure about crop fit, application rate, or site suitability.
