Characteristics of the cucumber variety Uhazher
The Uhazher cucumber variety was developed by Sedek in 2007. Among its advantages, first of all, it is noted for its early ripeness, due to which the Ugazher matures before the period of spread of diseases.
Characteristics of cucumbers of the Ukhazher variety
Description of the variety
The plant is an early ripening plant. On average, 42-45 days pass from sowing to harvest. The bushes are powerful, medium in size, and have a female type of flowering. Fruit weight - 70-95 g. Length - about 12 cm. The surface of the cucumbers is tuberous, cylindrical in shape.
There is no need to wait until the cucumber grows to its maximum size: the gherkin is no less tasty.
Advantages and disadvantages
Uhazher cucumbers are distinguished by their crispy flesh and delicate taste. However, in addition to excellent taste characteristics, the description highlights a number of other advantages of the variety:
- long fruiting period;
- high yields;
- attractive presentation of the fruit;
- long storage period;
- high level of disease resistance.
Planting a variety
The Ukhazher cucumber, like other varieties, is highly sensitive to cold, so during planting the soil temperature should reach 17-18°C. In the fall, the site is dug up and all remnants of vegetation are removed. Acidic soil is limed.
Sowing method
In the spring, around mid-April, the ground is dug up again and leveled with a rake. After waiting until mid-May, humus is added, as well as mineral fertilizers and wood ash. The soil is treated with a solution of potassium permanganate (so the seeds, and later the sprouts, will be protected from diseases), then covered with a dark-colored film.
Choose a warm day for sowing seeds. The seeds are sown to a depth of no more than 1.5-2 cm. After germination, the bed is thinned out, leaving the strongest plants. The distance between them should be about 20-25 cm.
Seedling method
Cucumber Uhazher f1 is sown as seedlings and a month later they are planted on the site, adhering to a number of rules:
- Fill cups about 9 cm deep with light and fertile soil and sow at a distance of approximately 1.5-2 cm from the surface;
- planting in the ground is carried out when the temperature at night is not lower than 14°C, during the day - 18-20°C;
- water the ground 2 times a week, in the morning, with warm, settled water;
- don't forget to use fertilizers;
- 10 days before planting, seedlings begin to harden on the site.
Good care increases productivity
To get the desired result and achieve high yields of Ujazher f1 cucumbers, you need to properly care for the plants. Basic recommendations:
- in summer, feed cucumbers 4-5 times with mineral and organic fertilizer options;
- initially water moderately: 4 liters of water per 1 sq. m once every 5 days;
- when flowering begins and then fruiting begins, use 10 liters of water per 1 square meter. m every 3 days;
- form the plant into one stem, and also leave side shoots.
Pest treatment
The cucumber variety Uhazher f1, like any other, can be affected by pests, namely:
- spider mite;
- melon aphids;
- whitefly;
- slugs.
Spider mite
If yellow dots and barely visible cobwebs become noticeable on the leaves, a spider mite has infested the plant. Since it loves low humidity, the first remedy against the pest is to spray the leaves in hot weather up to several times a day.
An infusion of onion or garlic also comes to the rescue. It is used several times during the summer. Dill is planted next to cucumbers: it attracts ladybugs, which are the enemies of ticks. Planting seedlings as early as possible reduces the risk of infection. Another option is to treat plants with insecticides.
melon aphid
To combat melon aphids, first of all, it is necessary to keep the beds clean and remove any remaining vegetation for the winter. Plants are treated with infusions of celandine, onions, and potatoes. An infusion of tree resin also helps. Sometimes pesticides are used.
Features of cultivation
The Uhazher f1 variety is unpretentious, and care should be carried out in accordance with the technology for growing cucumbers:
- When growing in open ground, you should initially protect the crops from possible return frosts.
- To prevent the appearance of bitterness in greens, regular watering should be carried out, which should be more frequent and abundant in hot and dry weather; Before fruiting, cucumbers need to be watered every 2-3 days, and once fruiting begins, it is recommended to switch to daily irrigation using warm water.
- After planting cucumber seedlings in a permanent place or a month after sowing, it is necessary to fertilize every two weeks, combining fertilization with watering. The application of organic and mineral fertilizers is especially necessary if the soil was not well-dressed before sowing the seeds.
- After thinning, fertilizing and light planting are also carried out, which promotes the growth of an adventitious root system in the lower part of the stem.
Cucumbers of the Ukhazher f1 variety often suffer from various diseases and pests, regardless of whether this vegetable crop is grown in open ground or in greenhouse conditions. To carry out complete plant protection, you should adhere to the following scheme:
- after flowering, spraying is carried out with the preparation “Abiga-Pik” or “Ridomil”;
- a good effect is achieved using the Oxychom and Actellik complex;
- in June, the plantings are re-treated with Abiga-Pik, Ridomil, Oxyx or Fitoverm;
- Approximately three weeks before harvest, treatment with the drug “Abiga-Peak” is carried out.
When growing, it is recommended to use a trellis method, which makes it easier to care for plants, increases productivity and reduces the risk of disease or pests.
Agricultural technology and proper cultivation
“Uhazher” is intended for cultivation in greenhouses and stationary greenhouses in small households. Sowing of seedlings is carried out in April. Sowing without seedlings in a greenhouse is carried out in May, when the soil temperature does not drop below 14*C.
Plants do not tolerate dense planting well, so the density of planting should not exceed 2.5 plants per 1 sq.m.
Vigorous plants of this cucumber require high-quality and regular pinching. The bushes form strictly into one stem. All stepsons and ovaries below the 4th node must be removed. The growth stem is pinched after twisting onto the top crossbar of the trellis.
The rest of the care is standard:
- Moderate watering to prevent the soil from drying out;
- Fertilizing with alternating organic and mineral complexes up to 4 times per season;
- Loosening the soil and weeding.
Reviews
“When we moved to a new site without a greenhouse, the question arose about choosing a cucumber variety. And then “The Boyfriend” caught my eye. Having planted it, I did not regret it - the harvest was good, enough for both food and money. The neighbors' cucumbers were affected by powdery mildew, but mine were not affected. Now I will always choose only this variety, even if I build a greenhouse.” Vyacheslav Sergeevich, 54 years old, Moscow region.
“I was attracted by the name and the photo on the cover - and I bought these cucumbers. The impression is twofold - the harvest is good, but the fruits are a little bitter. Perhaps due to lack of watering, since it was not possible to water the plantings daily. But in canned form, the bitterness disappeared - so I’m happy.” Margarita, 30 years old, Vladimir.
“Very tasty cucumbers, just like everything that . When I saw this new product, I couldn’t resist and bought it. I can only say one thing: “The Suitor” has captivated our family, and from now on we will only grow this variety. Taste, appearance – all these indicators are worth 100 points.” Alena, 35 years old, Krasnodar.

Landing
When the third leaf appears, the seedlings can be planted
The hybrid can be grown either by seedlings or by planting seeds in open ground. If you plant a crop in greenhouses, it is better to first grow seedlings. In protected soil it will be stronger and more productive.
Seedlings are planted in open ground at the end of May or at the beginning of June, as soon as they have 2-3 true leaves.
Seeds in the ground
In mid-April, the soil should be dug up and leveled. In May, humus and mineral fertilizers are added to the soil. The soil is disinfected with a weak solution of potassium permanganate and covered with a dark film. For planting, you should choose a warm day when the ground is warm and there is no chance of night frosts.
Uhazher cucumber seeds are sown in holes no deeper than 1.5-2 cm. After the first shoots appear, the beds are thinned out, leaving only strong crops. The distance between plants should not be less than 25 cm.
For seedlings
Seeds are planted for seedlings in March-April. First they are disinfected. This treatment will help protect the plant from diseases. Place one seed at a time in prepared peat-humus containers. The use of individual cups will help you avoid picking.
You can make the substrate yourself: for this you take compost, peat and sawdust in a ratio of 2:2:1. Seeds are not planted deep. Watering is carried out with warm water and the temperature is maintained at 23-25 °C. To increase it and create a greenhouse effect, the containers are covered with film. Periodically provide air supply to the seedlings.
Ukhazher f1 cucumber seedlings are planted in a permanent place of growth in May-June. The sprouts are ready for transplanting when they have 3-4 leaves. The landing site should be well lit and protected from the wind.
Description
This species has a medium weave, large leaves with a pair of shoots. Cucumbers begin to bear fruit approximately 2 months after planting. One node has a pair of ovaries. The size of cucumbers is approximately 17 cm, the diameter of the plant is up to 4 cm, and the weight of one fruit is about 200 grams.
Cucumbers have large white spines and the plant is regular and oval in shape. Externally, the vegetable looks beautiful, it can be used for transportation. In addition, this variety lasts for a long time and retains its appearance. Cucumbers taste excellent in any form. Another positive side is disease resistance.
In some cases, vegetables may be hollow, so Ujazher is more often used for preservation. The marinade is preserved for a long time, since the marinade does not get inside the fruit. Excellent yield is obtained not only if the variety is grown under film or in a greenhouse. There will be good performance in the soil, the main thing is to properly care for the species. In this case, you can eat delicious cucumbers before the onset of frost.
Harvesting and application
Uhazher cucumbers are harvested in the second ten days of August. Due to the uneven ripening of the fruits, harvesting continues in September-October.
The suitor is a prickly cucumber, so they pick it from the bushes with gloves on, put it in boxes, and store it in a cool place for about a month.
The fruits are suitable for use in salads, fresh and canned. Canned or pickled vegetables turn out very tasty - the brine does not get inside the cucumber, the skin remains dense and crispy.
Rules of care
There are a few simple rules to get a good harvest.
- Shosha f1 cucumbers can be planted through seedlings and directly into the ground. This must be done no earlier than mid-April. If you plant seedlings, they must have at least four leaves. When planting seedlings, make sure that the roots of the plant do not bend; place good drainage, such as sand, at the bottom of the hole.
- Seeds should be planted in open ground when the ground is sufficiently warm. The air temperature should be stably established at least 15-17o
- Since this is a tall variety, it needs support along which the stems can curl.
- At a height of up to 50 cm, all lateral shoots and flowers should be removed - they interfere with the plant’s growth and development.
- Seeds should be planted at the rate of 4 plants per 1 m2, but no closer than 50 cm between plants. The seed sowing depth is 3.5-4 cm. The purchased seeds have undergone special treatment against pests; this will not affect the quality of the crop, but they cannot be eaten.
Description of the variety
Cucumber “Uhazher f1” is a medium-climbing plant with green, slightly wavy leaves and, on average, two lateral shoots. The plant is indeterminate, vigorous, has average branching, mixed flowering type.
The fruiting phase begins in approximately 55-60 days. On average, a pair of ovaries is formed at each node. Zelentsy reach a length of 16-18 cm and are characterized by a coarsely tuberous, white-spiked surface and a cylindrical shape. In cross section, each greenery has a diameter of 3.5-4 cm. The average weight of a fully ripened greenery is 185-205 g.
Planting a variety
Growing Ukhazhir cucumbers is possible both by seed and by sowing seedlings, and the choice of a specific option depends more on the climatic characteristics of the region and the availability of film cover recommended by the manufacturer. In any case, each of the described methods has its own nuances of the procedure. Sowing seeds for seedlings is carried out in March or April and involves preliminary disinfection of the planting material in a Fitosporin solution, which will help avoid disease damage during further cultivation.
Read more about when to sow cucumbers for seedlings.
Once the seeds have swelled, they are placed in a damp cloth and left there for several days, controlling the humidity. After such preparation, the cucumbers are planted in separate seedling containers or peat-humus cups, which will help avoid picking plants in the future.
The ideal soil for cucumber plantings should consist of peat, sawdust and compost, combined in a 2:1:1 ratio. For five liters of the finished mixture, you need to add one tablespoon of nitrophoska and wood ash, and then fill each seedling pot with the substrate. The depth of planting seeds is no more than 5 mm, so you can simply spread the seeds on the surface of the soil and lightly sprinkle them.
At the end of the planting process, the seedlings are watered and the boxes are transferred to a warm room with an air temperature of +23...+27°C. To increase temperature levels and create a greenhouse effect, boxes with cucumbers should be covered with plastic film, periodically removing it to ventilate the plantings.
Important! Tomatoes, cabbage, onions and perennial herbs are deservedly considered the best predecessors for cucumbers, but it is better not to plant them after pumpkin plants.
There are also a number of requirements for the conditions for growing cucumber seedlings:
- daytime temperature should be maintained within +20°C, and night temperature should not fall below +16°C;
- sufficient lighting provides exposure to light for 12 hours (if necessary, it is worth installing additional sources of daylight above the seedling containers);
- air humidity should not be lower than 70%.
You will be interested to know how to properly plant cucumbers in open ground.
The planting pattern for the Uhazher variety is 50×50 (the distance between neighboring plants in a row and the rows themselves), and the planting depth depends on the size of the peat pot with which the cucumber seedlings are planted in the garden bed or under a film cover. Upon completion of planting, each bush should be watered with three liters of relatively warm water.

Cucumber “Uhazher f1”: unpretentious and very tasty
The new mid-late, bee-pollinated hybrid cucumber “Uhazher f1” is intended for open ground and film greenhouses. The main advantage of this variety is its high yield.
The description of the hybrid form is given by the originator, who is.
The cucumber of the hybrid form “Uhazher f1” is included in the State Register of the Russian Federation and is recommended for growing in garden plots, household plots and small farms. Growing under a film covering is optimal.
The Uhazher f1 cucumber has received very high praise from vegetable growers, and reviews of this hybrid form are almost always positive. Cucumbers of this variety are great for both salads and pickling. Greens are always crispy and very tasty, and are also extremely rarely bitter.
The variety shows consistently high yields not only in greenhouses, but also when grown on ridges in open ground. Harvesting takes place before frost. The Uhazher f1 cucumber has indeed established itself as an unpretentious variety of universal use. He is affected by diseases quite rarely and easily tolerates insufficient quality care.
How to care for plants
Watering should be regular and plentiful, otherwise the greens will acquire a bitter taste. The frequency of watering should be as follows: before fruiting begins, cucumbers need to be watered every two or three days (depending on weather conditions), and during the period of fruit growth, you will need to switch to daily watering. If the days are hot and dry, watering is required 2 times, in the morning and in the evening.
After the cucumbers have been planted in a permanent place, they need to be fertilized. Their frequency is once every 2-2.5 weeks. It is best to apply fertilizers together with watering, this way all valuable substances will reach the roots in the shortest possible time.
Fertilizers need to be alternated: first mineral, then organic.
Since these cucumbers of the Uhazher F1 variety are susceptible to diseases and pest attacks, they need to be processed periodically. Time of processing:
- immediately after flowering;
- approximately a month before the expected harvest.
A week before harvesting, there is no need to carry out any treatments, as chemicals may get on the fruits.
Characteristic
The Uhazher variety has many positive characteristics, but first of all it is worth paying attention to the yield indicators, flowering and fruiting times of cucumber bushes. Find out the benefits and harms of cucumbers.
Find out the benefits and harms of cucumbers.
Flowering and fruiting times
The first harvest of Ukhazhir cucumbers is harvested approximately 55–60 days after emergence, that is, at the end of July or beginning of August. If you sow the seeds in time a second time, then in greenhouse conditions it will be possible to harvest two crops per year. Flowering of cucumber bushes is observed approximately 1–1.5 months before harvesting the greens.
Productivity
In good growing conditions, it is quite possible to harvest about 5–6 kg of greens from one cucumber bush, while the marketable yield of 1 m² of plantings is at least 15–16 kg. Fruiting is extended over time and in some cases continues until frost.
Resistance to pests and diseases
Like most other hybrid crops, cucumbers of the Ukhazher variety have increased resistance to typical diseases and are not afraid of diseases (powdery mildew, root rot, cucumber mosaic). This means that even without the use of fungicidal and insecticidal compounds, you have every chance of getting a high-quality harvest, without chemical impurities.
Important! To start collecting Uhazhior cucumbers, you do not have to wait until they reach their maximum size. Small specimens also have good taste, the main thing is to remove the skin with a large number of small spines in a timely manner. In addition, high resistance to diseases is maintained even after long-term storage of the collected fruits: they do not rot or spoil, and their skin retains its integrity even after prolonged storage. transportation of greens
In addition, high resistance to diseases is maintained even during long-term storage of the collected fruits: they do not rot or spoil, and their peel retains its integrity even during long-term transportation of the greens.
Bush care
It is possible to achieve high yields from the Ukhazher variety only with properly organized plant care. First of all, this concerns timely feeding and watering of seedlings, as well as caring for the soil on which they grow.
Intensity of watering and fertilizing
The intensity and frequency of watering cucumbers directly depends on the stage of their development. Thus, before the buds appear, at least three liters of water are consumed weekly per bush, while during flowering and fruiting they are watered with six liters of liquid every three days. To achieve the optimal water temperature for irrigation, it should be collected in advance into large barrels located in a sunny area.
