Rating. Cucumber varieties and hybrids on the “tomat-pomidor” forum based on the results of 2014

Sarov f1 is valued for its ability to bear fruit productively in conditions of light deficiency - in short summers, in cloudy weather. The hybrid variety is intended for cultivation in the North-West region. It is grown under film, in heated greenhouses, and in open beds.

Growing

There are two ways to land f1. The first - with seedlings, the second - directly into the ground.

Seedling

For seedlings, F1 seeds are sown in bowls, pots or greenhouses in the second half of April - the first half of May, then planted in beds in early June. Planting spacing and row width 50cm, depth 4cm. Cucumbers for seedlings are sown in containers. If you don’t have containers, you can use pots, plastic glasses, special cassettes or tablets. Soil from the store or from the garden, mixed with humus, is suitable. Seedlings should be planted in open ground in the first ten days of May. But here everything is individual - the time of planting will depend on how strong the sun's activity is and how well the soil is warmed up; if at the beginning of May it is not yet warm enough, we transfer the planting to the second decade - May 10-14.

Seeds

Seeds are sown directly into the ground in the second half of May (May 15-18), when the soil is already sufficiently warmed up. The planting pattern is the same, but the depth is 2 cm. Store-bought seeds do not need to be prepared before sowing, unlike seeds collected by hand. Homemade seeds must first be treated with a weak solution of nitrophoska and placed in the cold for two hours to harden.

The soil

It is important to choose the right place to plant

The soil needs to be light, with neutral acidity. It is advisable to prepare the place in the fall. It is better if it is sunny with a slight darkening to protect the plant from hot rays.

It is recommended to sow Sarovsky in the soil on which beans, beans, peas, tomatoes, and potatoes had previously grown, but it is not recommended after pumpkin, zucchini and garlic.

In the fall, the soil is cultivated and organic fertilizers are applied, approximately 10 liters of manure per 1 m2; in the absence of such, mineral fertilizers are applied, such as potassium salt 25 g and superphosphate 45 g. Before planting, the soil is dug up again and fertilized with 20 g of saltpeter per 1 m2.

When sowing seeds directly in the garden bed in the second half of May, the first half of June, it is recommended to cover the crops with film at night.

The description shows that the Sarov cucumber variety does not require special care. The main thing is to water, fertilize and loosen the soil in a timely manner to enrich the roots with oxygen. Weeds must be removed regularly so that they do not harm the plant.

For good fruiting, the bush is treated with sweet syrup, which attracts bees. Spraying is best done in dry weather.

Watering

Water Sarovsky F1 often, with low pressure, to avoid erosion of the soil on the roots. It is best if it is watered by drip or through a sprayer. You need to water once a day in the evening; in dry weather, watering is done twice a day, morning and evening.

Top dressing

Since the Sarov cucumber is an early ripening variety, it develops very quickly. With such intensive growth, the plant needs organic and mineral substances. Therefore, fertilizing must be done regularly. The plant is first fertilized immediately before the first flowers, and then continued every ten days.

1. For feeding, prepare the following substrate - take 10 liters of water, 1 tsp. urea, potassium sulfate, superphosphate and 200 g of fresh manure.
2. If there is no manure, then you can purchase any organic fertilizer in the store and add it according to the instructions.

Diseases of the variety and methods of combating them

The Sarovsky variety is highly resistant to diseases: powdery mildew, downy mildew and cucumber mosaic virus. The culture should be protected from the following diseases:

Root rot

This disease is root-based, and therefore it is sometimes difficult to notice the first signs of the disease. Rot usually appears due to excessive soil moisture or is transmitted through infected seeds of the Sarovsky variety. Signs of the disease may include:

• gradual thinning of the stem;
• the appearance of cracks in the lower part;
• the appearance of brown pieces of roots on the soil surface;
• the leaves at the bottom become thin.

Prevention of this disease is possible by following agrotechnical recommendations: timely watering with warm water; ventilation of greenhouses; neutralization of seeds before planting. Pesticides can help the Sarovsky variety in the fight: “Previkur”, “Gamiar”, “Alirin-B”.

Sclerotinia (white rot)

Infection occurs at the roots. The cause of rot can be too wet soil and unventilated growing rooms. Also, the disease is transmitted through last year’s unharvested plants. Signs of the disease may be:

• lethargy at the top of the cucumber;
• a white coating forms at the roots, which destroys the stem of the plant, and it slowly rots;
• The bushes of the Sarov variety themselves are covered with a white coating.

When fighting rot, you first need to get rid of the affected parts, and sometimes even entire cucumber bushes, and then use the drugs: Hom, Profit Gold. Also, plants are often inhabited by harmful insects that can be carriers of diseases. One of these is considered to be aphids.

cucumber aphid

This insect settles on cucumber leaves and feeds on their juice. Over time, the leaves turn yellow, and then a black coating appears. To combat insects, the following drugs are used: Metaphos, Decis Lux and Inta Vir.

Pest treatment

There are several types of pests that harm cucumbers, these include:

• melon aphid;
• spider mite;
• ants;
• slugs;
• whitefly

To prevent pests, it is necessary to remove the remains of previous plants from the site, fight weeds, disinfect the soil, and ensure that it does not dry out. It is recommended to plant dill nearby; its flowers attract ladybugs, which eat many pests. To prevent whiteflies, plant tobacco.

Agricultural technology for growing cucumber seeds

Almost all modern varieties of cucumbers, including popular American and Asian ones, contain small amounts of cucurbitacin in their internal structure.
This substance is known for causing bitterness when ingested. As a result, such cucumbers can be safely cut into fresh salads, used in pickles or as appetizers without fear of being left with a bitter taste on the tongue. Technology of growing from seeds

• In most cases, it is advisable to plant cucumber seeds directly in open ground, which is what most summer residents do.
• If the goal is to harvest an early harvest, then the seedlings can be formed in a prepared indoor area, for which special biodegradable pots are useful.
• The time of sowing in the greenhouse is selected so that the last expected frost occurs no later than 3-4 weeks, starting from the moment of planting future seedlings in prepared containers.
• In each of the available pots you should place no more than 2-3 units of seeds with a selected immersion depth of about 1.5 cm, but no more.
• Until the first shoots appear (approximately one to two weeks), the soil should be consistently moist and the room temperature should be 21 ° C.
• As soon as the shoots appear, the sprouts should be provided with proper lighting.
• Here you can go two ways: place the pots on sunny windowsills or use a fluorescent lamp.
• The technology used is as follows: the distance from the light source to the seedlings is about 10 cm, and its duration is 16 hours a day.
• It is not recommended to use ordinary incandescent lamps: as a result of their use, too much excess heat is released, which harms the plant.
• Continuous lighting also does not provide any benefit - the dark growth period must be observed.
• Cucumbers are not a typical houseplant, so overfeeding them with fertilizers can only harm the seedlings.
• Before planting, only one shoot should remain in each pot.
• Before moving the crop into open ground, it should be adapted first: for some time the pots are taken outside to a place protected from sharp gusts of wind.
• If there is a very low temperature outside, it is better not to adapt on this day.
• This “hardening off” develops the plant at its cellular level, which subsequently reduces shock and the number of sunburns upon eventual replanting in open soil.

Characteristics and description of cucumber varieties Artist F1 and Anzor F1

Every summer resident strives to get the earliest harvest possible. In this he is helped by ultra-early varieties of cucumbers, such as Anzor F1 and Artist F1.

Description of the variety Anzor F1 10
