Diseases and parasites
The Bingo f1 cucumber variety is genetically resistant to many diseases and pests. The variety is resistant to powdery mildew, cladosporiosis, and cucumber mosaic. A description of some diseases that can appear on plants is given below.
Root rot
Excess moisture can cause root rot on Bingo cucumber plants. The borage roots become thinner, the leaves turn yellow, and fruiting stops. The plant soon dries out and dies.
To prevent the development of this disease, it is recommended to moderately water the cucumber plantings. Do not over-water the plantings, as excess moisture can lead to serious consequences.
Ascochyta blight
It is an infectious disease and can affect cucumbers both in a greenhouse and when cultivated in open ground. Carried on infected equipment. Grayish spots appear on the foliage, which gradually increase in size. As the disease progresses, the rot spreads to the greens. The cucumbers become covered with ulcers, then the color turns from green to black. Fruits affected by the disease are not suitable for consumption.
In order to prevent ascochyta blight in Bingo cucumbers, it is recommended to carry out soil disinfection measures before planting.
When using garden tools, it is necessary to treat them. Timely ventilation of the greenhouse helps prevent infection.
Aphid
Bingo cucumber plants can be affected by a dangerous pest - aphids. This parasite settles on the leaves, piercing them through and sucking the juices from the plants. Cucumber bushes slow down, fruiting decreases, and eventually the plant dies. Aphids can also bring various infectious diseases. To prevent the appearance of the pest, it is necessary to disinfect the greenhouse and soil in the fall and spring.
For treatment, treatment with Fitoverm, Iskra, Tanrek is used.
Traditional methods include spraying the bushes with a solution of mustard powder (100 g per 3 liters of boiling water). Infuse this product for 3 hours, then add 10 liters of water, sunflower oil (3 tablespoons) and liquid laundry soap (5 tablespoons).

Preparing soil and containers
Soil for planting is usually purchased at a gardening store. But some vegetable growers prepare it at home.
To do this, you can prepare one of the following nutrient substrates:
- mix humus and non-acidic peat in equal parts;
- turf, peat, rotted manure and coarse sand, taken in the following ratio - 3:3:3:1;
- soil from the garden, rotted manure, peat and rotted sawdust are mixed in a ratio of 2:1:1:1.

Nutrient substrate prepared at home should be disinfected before placing it in containers. To do this, it is spilled with a weak solution of potassium permanganate. After the soil has dried, it can be placed in cups.
Containers should also be disinfected before planting Bingo cucumbers for seedlings, especially if they have already been used for growing plants in previous seasons. For disinfection, use a solution of potassium permanganate.
Sowing seeds
Since cucumber seedlings have a very delicate root system, they do not tolerate transplantation very well, so you should immediately plant the seeds in separate cups - preferably in peat cups - in order to then transplant the grown plants along with the pots to a permanent place without preliminary traumatic picking.
Photo of sowing seeds in peat cups
The prepared nutrient substrate is laid out in cups and 2 seeds are planted in each. They need to be buried 1.5-2 cm, trying to prevent the sprouted sprouts from breaking. Then the cups are placed in a warm, bright place for germination. To make seedlings appear faster, it is recommended to cover them with polyethylene on top. The room temperature should be kept around 24 degrees Celsius.
After the first shoots appear, the polyethylene is removed and the room temperature is reduced to 18 degrees Celsius to harden the emerging shoots.
Caring for cucumber seedlings
Emerging plants should be provided with sufficient lighting - cucumber seedlings require 12 hours of daylight.
If necessary, phytolamps are installed next to the seedlings for additional illumination. If young plants do not have enough light, they stretch towards the light, but become weaker.
Water the young cucumbers as the soil mixture dries.
The main thing is to ensure that moisture does not stagnate in the soil, since cucumbers do not tolerate waterlogging of the soil.
Growing Bingo cucumber seedlings should be fed twice before transplanting to a permanent location.
You can use any nitrogen-containing fertilizer as fertilizer. The first feeding is carried out at the stage of 2-3 true leaves, the next time fertilizer is applied 12-14 days after the first feeding.
10-12 days before planting the seedlings in the beds, they should be hardened. To do this, containers with seedlings are taken outside for a short time at first. But gradually the time the plants spend outside is increased.
Transplanting seedlings
The place for transplanting cucumber seedlings or planting Bingo cucumber seeds directly into open ground or greenhouse ridges is prepared in advance. In the fall, the soil should be cleared of plant residues and dug up. Before digging, humus or well-rotted manure is added to the soil. In the spring, mineral fertilizers are placed in the prepared holes.
If this variety of cucumbers is intended to be grown in a greenhouse, then it should also be prepared for planting vegetable plants in advance. In the fall, you need to collect all plant debris from the beds, replace the top layer of soil with a new one, and also treat the greenhouse structures with any disinfectant solutions.
No more than 4 cucumber plants should be planted on one square of area. The proposed scheme for planting seeds or seedlings is 0.5 * 0.5 m.
After planting, you should water the plants and mulch the tree trunks with straw or other organic matter.
Further care for Bingo cucumbers
Further care for the Bingo F1 cucumber hybrid consists of maintaining the watering regime, loosening the soil, removing weeds, tying up vines and applying fertilizing.
Usually, cucumber bushes are watered every 5-7 days. In hot weather, the amount of watering should be increased, and in rainy weather - reduced.
After watering or rain, it is necessary to loosen the soil in the root zone of the cucumbers, while simultaneously removing all emerging weeds.
The greens are harvested every 2-3 days so that new ovaries are formed.
Garter of cucumbers
When growing Bingo cucumbers in greenhouses, they are usually tied to trellises. In this case, it will be easier to care for the bushes and easier to harvest.
On the beds you can stretch a special net to which the lashes are tied as they grow.
Feeding
Cucumbers should be fed during growth with mineral fertilizers containing phosphorus and potassium. The interval between fertilizing is 10-12 days.
Care
Cucumbers of the Bingo f1 variety need good care. Measures for caring for cucumber plants include the following actions:
- Regular watering.
- Bush garter.
- Application of nutritional supplements.
Watering
Cucumbers are watered regularly, once a week. In rainy weather, the frequency of watering in the greenhouse is reduced, and when grown in open ground, they are not watered at all.
In hot weather conditions, Bingo plants are watered at increased intervals.
Watering is carried out in the morning or evening. Cold water should absolutely not be used to irrigate cucumbers. Only warm, settled water should be used.
Garter and bush formation
Bingo variety cucumbers tend to form curly vines. Therefore, to grow fruits at a height from the ground surface, cucumber bushes need to be tied to specially designed trellises. For gartering, fishing line, mesh or thin twine are also used.
It is recommended to tear off the lower leaves of borage plants after harvesting. The resulting stepsons should also be removed so that the plant does not expend extra energy on their growth, but activates energy in the growth of cucumbers.
Top dressing
Cucumber plants of the Bingo variety must be fed regularly, adding nutritional supplements to the soil every 10-12 days.
For feeding, mainly mineral fertilizer complexes containing potassium, phosphorus, and nitrogen are used.
It is recommended to make a mixture to feed cucumber plants with useful substances. Description of the mixture:
- 1 bucket of warm water;
- 500 g cow manure;
- 10 g potassium sulfate.
The soil under borage is treated with a solution of this fertilizer at the rate of: 1 bucket per 2 square meters. m of plantings.
Hilling
If the Bingo cucumber variety is planted on a surface covered with non-woven material, then hilling is not required. You just need to pull out small weeds that may appear in the slots intended for cucumber bushes.
If there is no agrofabric in the beds, the plants should be hilled up by raking soil to the cucumber bushes to a height of 5-7 cm. Hilling up is carried out only with damp soil, i.e. after watering or rain. Cucumbers do not spud with dry soil.
