Variety of zucchini

Excellent taste and variety in preparation make zucchini simply a favorite dish for many consumers during their fruiting period.

Modern varieties and hybrids of zucchini differ in the shape and color of the fruit, type of growth, characteristics of fruiting and the speed of harvest ripening.

Bush zucchini

Typically, bush varieties mean those that grow in a compact bush with a stem no more than 20–30 centimeters. But sometimes short-climbing varieties, forming from one to three vines up to 1 meter long, are also classified as bush varieties. The smallest bush without lateral vines is found in the varieties Roller, Anchor (these two varieties also produce few leaves), Tsukesha, Zebra, and Zheltoplodny.

Bush varieties of zucchini take up little space

If a zucchini bush produces too many leaves, the oldest of them can be removed without harm to the plant by cutting them off at the base so that they do not interfere with caring for the plant and collecting fruits. First of all, remove damaged leaves and those in contact with the ground.

Many gardeners are trying to purchase advertised Dutch zucchini seeds. However, such seeds, especially first-generation hybrids (indicated by the symbols F1 after or before the name), are much more expensive than ordinary ones, and in terms of yield they do not differ much from the best Russian varieties. In addition, Dutch zucchini is more capricious. For normal growth and high yields they require:

well-cultivated fertile soil with a deep arable layer and high humus content;
uniform hydration;
stable warm weather without sudden temperature changes.

Among the Dutch hybrids, the most popular in Russia are Iskander F1, Sangrum F1, Cavili F1.

Growing

If you comply with the basic requirements of agricultural technology, you can get a higher yield of zucchini. Of course, you should observe crop rotation and carefully choose a place to plant this crop. The best predecessors for planting zucchini are onions, nightshades, root vegetables and legumes.

The bed should be located in an area that is well lit throughout the day. Optimal soil is considered to be one with a neutral pH, a light structure and a sufficient amount of nutrients. High acidity can be removed with slaked lime or limestone, scattering them evenly on the garden bed. This procedure should be done in the fall, not in the spring, before planting.

What summer residents say about Sangrum zucchini. Recommendations for cultivation and care

Gardeners speak of this hybrid as an unpretentious crop. In addition to its resistance to weather stress and some viruses, Sangrum is good because it is practically indifferent to fertilizing and watering. These and other gardening activities are more likely to increase productivity. Zucchini Sangrum F1 loves light and fertile soils, with deep groundwater.

Acidic soil has an unfavorable effect on the hybrid; only neutral soil will do. Treating the soil with crushed limestone or slaked lime will help you remove excess acidity. This cannot be done immediately before planting zucchini - only in autumn or early spring. Sangrum, like other zucchini, has a beneficial effect on its predecessors:

legumes;
onion;
potato.

Zucchini bush
Otherwise, fertilize the soil with organic matter and mineral fertilizers. This is also best done in the fall. When choosing a place for a squash “plantation” on a site, give preference to well-lit areas. Calculate the size based on the recommended distance between future plants - up to 60 cm. The hybrid can be planted in two ways:

Seedlings. They start preparing it in early April.
Seeds. This is done in May, when the soil has warmed up well. The depth of placement of seeds in the hole is no more than 3 cm.

Summer residents mostly praise this hybrid variety and confirm the qualities declared by the manufacturers. Planting of seeds is often carried out under film, and the harvest is harvested from July to September. People especially note the taste of zucchini: dense but tender pulp. Most dishes with this hybrid are prepared without even removing the skin, it is so soft. Summer residents also confirm its low maintenance requirements. With minimal care, Sangrum can produce good fruit.

Pests and diseases

Although Sangrum squash is a fairly disease-resistant crop, under unfavorable conditions it can be affected by bacteriosis, downy mildew, anthracnose and powdery mildew. Garden pests such as spider mites and melon aphids can negatively affect the development of plants. To combat such problems, ready-made preparations are used or traditional methods are used to protect plants.

When beds with zucchini are infested with melon aphids, insect-infected leaves curl and flowers fall off. Subsequently, the plant stops growing and dies. You can cope with the invasion of this aphid by spraying the beds with Karbofos or Tihometafos-3.

Spider mites are widespread throughout the country. Leaves affected by mites acquire a marbled color with characteristic light stains. Then the plant turns yellow, and if no action is taken, it subsequently dries out. To get rid of this pest, use Keltan, Isofen or ground sulfur.

Anthracosis most often affects plants that are grown in greenhouse conditions, but sometimes zucchini can also become infected in open beds. This disease begins with the appearance of yellow-brown spots on all above-ground parts of the plant. This occurs at high humidity and high air temperatures. For anthracose, colloidal sulfur, Bordeaux mixture or copper sulfate are used.

How to plant Sangrum seedlings?
