Description of the best varieties of cucumbers resistant to powdery mildew

It has already become the norm that new generation cucumber varieties are able to resist common diseases. As an example, let’s take the Dvoryansky cucumber, which, despite its excellent taste, is endowed with resistance to a number of viral and bacterial infections. Such a harmonious set of product and consumer characteristics is present in most modern varieties and hybrids. Many of them have increased resistance to powdery mildew and downy mildew, the most common fungal infections of cucumbers.

During the breeding process, modern technologies are used to create varieties that are not susceptible to the pathogen. This protection works especially successfully on first-order F1 hybrids.

Attention! The rate of reproduction and genetic plasticity of powdery mildew fungi is such that very quickly the herbicides themselves become food for a new generation of parasites .

Cucumbers weakly susceptible to powdery mildew

If outbreaks of fungal infections have become more frequent in your garden or personal plot, then you should opt for varieties of cucumbers that are resistant to powdery mildew. Selecting varieties for your site is not difficult. These can be parthenocarpic or bee-pollinated varieties for salad and pickling purposes. Attention should also be paid to disease-resistant hybrids for commercial use, zoned to the main vegetable growing zones.

Area of ​​application of fruits

The gherkin type of fruit allows you not only to consume vegetables fresh, but also to use them in preparations for the winter. Sigurd f1 cucumbers do not lose their quality characteristics; they crunch perfectly in salads and when pickled. Gherkins look great in jars.

Resistance to diseases and pests

Preventative actions will help keep plants healthy

According to the description, Sigurd f1 is quite resistant to a variety of diseases and pests. It is threatened by only one pest - the spider mite. Preventing the occurrence of parasites is an easier task than fighting them.

Pest prevention:

• in early spring, the soil where vegetables will be planted is carefully dug up - this method removes larvae that will die when exposed to night frosts;
• cucumbers are planted alternating with cabbage and tomatoes, which protects the crop;
• it is necessary to remove weeds in time - they are the first to infest insects;
• if the leaves turn yellow and are affected by white spots, the foliage is removed;
• the appearance of cobwebs on the plant indicates the need to use special anti-mite solutions;
• if the pest is noticed after harvesting, the crop should be uprooted and destroyed.

Advantages and disadvantages of the variety

Description of the benefits of Sigurd cucumber:

• earlier fruiting;
• resistant to temperature changes;
• big harvest;
• resistance to many diseases;
• good commercial quality;
• excellent keeping quality;
• transportability.

The only drawback of the culture is that it is vulnerable to spider mites.

Farmer

The Farmer cucumber is an indeterminate crop. The growing season from the moment the seeds are planted until the fruit begins to form is about 45 days, although the ripening time depends largely on climatic conditions: in warm regions of the country, Farmer f1 cucumbers ripen on the 37th day, in cool areas a slight delay of 5 days is possible. This is a bee-pollinated hybrid, so it is grown in open ground conditions. The leaves are quite large and wide in structure.

According to the description, the surface of the Farmer variety cucumber is smooth, but with small rare ribbed areas. On it you can see a small number of bumps covered with white pollen. On average, the length of an individual ripe fruit is 14 cm. The pulp is juicy and sweet.

Farmer cucumbers are suitable not only for fresh consumption, but also for preparing salads or canning. The yield is 9 kg per 1 sq. m.

Peculiarities

Cucumbers of the Farmer variety are planted only by seedling method. This makes it possible to increase the variety's resistance to negative environmental conditions, but the fruit ripens several weeks later. Planting cucumber seeds Farmer f1 is carried out only when the soil warms up to a temperature of 16°C. If the temperature is lower, it is difficult for the seeds to germinate.

Place 2 seeds in each hole. This increases germination rates. As soon as the first shoots appear, the area is thinned out. 1 plant is removed from each hole, leaving only the best specimens. The distance between rows should be about 30 cm, and between holes - 50 cm. Frequent planting leads to the fact that plants are constantly experiencing a deficiency of oxygen in the soil and nutrients.

If you are going to plant using seedlings, then the seeds are planted in containers 30 days before the intended planting in open ground. It is not recommended to quickly replant seedlings, because planting in unprepared or poor-quality soil reduces yields. Seedlings are planted only after the soil temperature reaches 17°C.

If weather conditions do not allow planting, but the seedlings are already fully formed, you can slow down their growth. To do this, slightly reduce the temperature of the room where it is located.

Features of care

Farmer's cucumbers need quality care. Despite the demanding care, all activities are simple and do not take much time to carry out. It is important to pay attention to the mandatory actions.

• Watering. Plants are watered infrequently. The interval of watering work should be about 3-4 days. Watering is carried out only with water at room temperature, otherwise the root system will not be able to absorb it.
• Fertilizing is carried out using minerals and organic preparations. At the moment of formation of inflorescences and fruits, plants are fed with mineral preparations containing potassium and nitrogen. After the start of fruiting, fertilize with humus so that the bush forms new fruits faster.
• The harvest is harvested as the fruits ripen. If you delay this action even a little, the yield will decrease by 2 times.

How to sow?

Sowing of Chinese heat-resistant cucumbers is carried out at the end of April, if weather conditions permit. The optimal temperature under the film cover should be no lower than 15-18 C. The seeds are pre-soaked in an ash solution.

It has antiseptic properties and is a growth stimulator. The seedlings are germinating. When sprouts begin to appear, sowing is carried out. You should not wait for the development of the cotyledon, the appearance of leaves and stems. The sprouts are fragile and can break under the weight of the soil.

The seeds are deepened by 5-7 cm. It is recommended to pour a little ash and 15 g of Rodnichok fertilizer into the hole. Wet sawdust impregnated with the preparation “Fitosporin” is used as a powdering material. This will prevent the development of blackleg and other fungal diseases.

Sprouts appear after 7-10 days. They are kept under film to protect them from rain, wind and insects. When the air temperature rises to 18-20 C during the daytime, the film is removed.

After this, the seeds are planted in separate containers to reduce the risk of damage during picking. The best seed germination is observed at a temperature of 20°C and good lighting.

As soon as the first pair of leaves appears on the plant, plant it in open ground. It is important that the soil warms up to 17°C. A distance of 40 cm is maintained between rows, and 50 cm between bushes.

Care for this species is standard.

• Watering is carried out once every 3 days and only with warm water. For watering, choose the evening or morning time so that the moisture does not evaporate from the sun's rays.
• Fertilizing is carried out 3 times during the entire growing season. 10 days after planting, use potassium or magnesium. After 3 weeks, the plants are fertilized with phosphorus, and at the moment of ripening, humus is added.
• Loosening the soil and removing weeds is necessary to supply nutrients and oxygen to the roots.

Despite the fact that Fason is characterized by excellent immunity, it is necessary to carry out preventive measures in a timely manner: constantly inspect the plant for the presence of parasites. Secondly, you should properly care for the garden bed so that diseases cannot develop.

How to prepare the soil?

For cucumbers, choose a sunny area in the garden. Plants of the pumpkin family grow well after root vegetables. The bed must be prepared in advance. All old vegetation is removed from it to avoid rotting. In autumn, humus, ash, baking powder and insecticides are added:

• humus – 10 kg/m2;
• ash – 300-500 g;
• insecticides, “Nitrofoski”, 20 g;
• the amount of disintegrants depends on the material. If you use sand or sawdust, then take ½ teaspoon of a 10-liter bucket. Peat requires 5 kg;
• to improve the structure and amount of humus, biofertilizer “Gumi-Omi” is introduced - 250 g.
