Growing and care

The hybrid is easy to care for. Cultivation is carried out according to the general rules for cucumbers:

• watering taking into account the stage of vegetation (before flowering once every 3-4 days, after budding once every 2 days);
• fertilizing once every 10-14 days (alternating the addition of organic matter and minerals);
• formation due to accelerated growth of branches;
• prevention of aphid and whitefly infestations.

All currently available varieties of cucumbers can be relatively divided into 3 large groups according to their ripening period: ultra-early, early and mid-ripening. Each of these groups has its own pros and cons. But in the spring, ultra-early varieties of cucumbers are especially popular among summer residents, allowing them to enjoy their own grown cucumber in the shortest possible time. Depending on the circumstances of cultivation, they can be systematized into varieties for open and closed ground.

1. Sowing seeds for seedlings must be done approximately a month before planting the plants on the ridges.
2. From the 2nd decade of April, weather favorable for sowing early cucumber seeds sets in.
3. When sowing cucumbers for seedlings in a greenhouse very early, there is still a significant possibility of return spring frosts; for this reason, it is necessary to protect the crops as much as possible from lower temperatures.
4. When directly sowing cucumbers in open ground prematurely, it is imperative to provide short-term cover for planting.

Landing

This variety is parthenocarpic, that is, setting and filling of fruits occurs without the participation of pollinating insects.

The hybrid variety of cucumbers “Marinda F1” is characterized by a female type of flowering and a tendency to bunch ovaries

Parthenocarpy in cucumbers is a natural property, fixed through long-term selection at the level of a stable trait, and is not related to genetic modifications (GMOs). Since seeds do not ripen in unfertilized fruits, products at the stage of consumer ripeness have high marketability:

• uniform appearance, uniform size and color of 90-100% greens;
• transportability and keeping quality of the harvested crop during long-term storage.

In addition to the listed advantages, “Marinda F1” cucumbers have great yield potential due to the female type of flowering and bunch fruiting. When the plants are fully nourished, bunches are formed in the nodes, consisting of 5-7 ovaries, which are poured en masse and together. The yield of commercial quality fruits in greenhouse conditions reaches 25-30 kg/m2.

The harvest is formed on the 40-55th day after emergence; many vegetable growers note its stability and duration throughout the entire growing season of the plant.

The bushes of this hybrid are medium-sized and moderately climbing, which facilitates formation, care and harvesting

The plant is unlimited in growth (indeterminate), but at the same time quite open and not dense - medium-sized, moderately climbing, with small leaves. It is recommended to grow it both vertically (on a trellis or mesh) and horizontally (without supporting structures). The cucumber hybrid “Marinda F1” is unpretentious in care, well adapted to adverse weather conditions, has high stress resistance and environmental plasticity, and is not susceptible to common viral and fungal diseases: cucumber mosaic, olive spot and powdery mildew.

Gherkins of this variety are considered ideal for all types of canning - salting and pickling.

“Marinda F1” has gained particular popularity due to the versatility and excellent taste of greens. The hybrid is one of the most popular short-fruited varieties of cucumbers, intended for all methods of canning and fresh consumption. Green gherkins (8-10 cm long, about 3 cm in diameter, weighing on average 65-70 g) have a cylindrical shape and a dark green color with short light stripes. The peel is covered with large tubercles with white pubescence. The pulp is juicy and crispy, dense, uniform consistency, with small seed chambers. Zelentsy have a distinct fresh aroma and a pleasant sweetish taste, completely devoid of bitterness.

If harvested untimely, cucumber greens “Marinda F1” tend to grow thick, which makes them look barrel-shaped.

Since when growing hybrid cucumbers, only purchased seed material is used, germination, survival rate of seedlings, and compliance with the declared varietal characteristics depend on its quality. Many foreign and domestic companies are engaged in the production and sale of seeds of the Marinda F1 hybrid.

Often the packages indicate that the seeds are coated or encrusted. Externally, they are distinguished by their bright turquoise or pink color with a pearlescent tint.

With regard to seeds covered with protective and nutritious shells, it is important to understand that before planting they cannot be subjected to pre-treatment: soaking, disinfection or hardening. The shell contains micro- and macroelements that stimulate growth and provide protection for young plants from diseases and pests. After sowing such seeds, it is important to water the soil abundantly so that the shell dissolves and does not interfere with germination.

Breeding work to improve the consumer properties of well-proven cucumber hybrids is ongoing. As a continuation of the “Marinda F1” line, Dutch specialists from Seminis have created:

Despite the emergence of a huge number of new products, the hybrid cucumber “Marinda F1” still enjoys well-deserved trust and high demand among Russian vegetable growers.

Care

The hybrid variety of Mares cucumbers is unpretentious in care, but requires systematic watering of the soil. Care procedures include watering, tying up bushes, loosening the soil, as well as preventive spraying of bushes against diseases and pests.

Watering

Water the cucumbers early in the morning or late in the evening, but not when the sun is scorching. The water temperature must correspond to the soil temperature, so the liquid is heated or infused in the sun.

It is recommended to water once every 4 days before flowering and once every 2 days after flowering.

Garter and bush formation

Mares f1 cucumbers need tying up and bush formation. This is due to the fact that the branches of the bushes grow quite quickly and reach a height of up to 2 m, therefore, the branches break and create a shadow for the rest of the bushes.

To tie the branches, use a thick rope. It is fixed at a height of 2 m, and the base of the branch is not tightly wrapped with rope. Thus, the branches of the plant cling to the rope and grow along it.

Top dressing

It is recommended to fertilize cucumber bushes once every 2 weeks. In this case, it is advisable to alternate between nutrients: organic matter and minerals.

In addition, it is recommended to spray the bushes of the plant so that the cucumbers are not attacked by pests such as aphids or whiteflies.

Diseases and pests

The Skipper variety is very resistant to dangerous diseases of plants of the pumpkin family.

Cucumbers have excellent immunity to diseases such as:

• Powdery mildew;
• Cucumber mosaic virus;
• Downy mildew;
• Olive spot.

IMPORTANT: It is strictly not recommended to grow the Skipper variety in beds after melons, beans, carrots, and beets.

Experienced vegetable growers advise not to neglect preventive measures. It is necessary to follow the rules of crop rotation - cucumbers should be planted in areas where potatoes, cabbage, tomatoes, dill, and parsley previously grew.

Special preparations will protect cucumber plantings from fungi, and folk recipes and insecticides will protect them from insects and other pests.
