Description and reviews of cucumbers of the “Aristocrat F1” variety

Benefits of development

This variety is grown almost throughout Russia. The only thing that needs to be taken into account is compliance with the temperature regime. In the southern regions, these cucumbers can be grown in open ground, in the northern regions - in greenhouses, greenhouses and other insulated structures.

Advantages of a hybrid:

• early fruiting;
• rapid ripening;
• duration of the fruiting period;
• stability of the crop in any climatic conditions.

Growing Aristocrat cucumbers will not cause problems. The fruits will add zest to a summer salad and will have a pleasant crunch in winter preserves and pickles.

Landing

The general rule for both Aristocrats is to sow seeds for seedlings 30 days before planting them in the beds. Since the bushes are strong and branched, they adhere to the following pattern:

Features of the Korean brand

Aristocrat cucumbers, developed by the agricultural firm Nong Woo Bio Co, are grown mainly in Ukraine. The hybrid ripens early after planting: the beginning of harvesting occurs on the 35-37th day after the first shoots. The plants have a strong stem, the vine is powerful and branched. Up to 3 fruits are formed in the axils. Most cucumbers have a curved shape (see photo). From the tip, the location of the peduncle, to approximately the middle of the fruit there are stripes of light green color.

The variety is declared as a pickling variety, but is also excellently used as a salad variety.

Hybrid cucumbers “Aristocrat” are not afraid of common diseases, are resistant to drought, and do not lose their taste as a result of exposure to external factors.

Resistance to diseases and pests

Both hybrids, called “Aristocrat,” are resistant to major cucumber diseases.

Resilience extends:

1. Powdery mildew. An unpleasant disease of fungal origin. It starts with white spots and gradually spreads over the entire area of ​​the plant.
2. Downy mildew. A similar disease starting from the inside of the plate. Brown spots appear on the leaves and stem, engulfing the bush. Gradually the plant turns black and gradually dies.
3. Cucumber mosaic is also expressed in the form of spots of different shades. It appears as a result of infection of cucumbers with a virus and has a rapid growth rate.
4. Brown spot. The disease affects the leaf blades of plants. Spots of reddish, yellow or brown shades appear on the leaves.

Note!

In addition to resistance, hybrids have increased immunity. The variety is protected from most diseases, but there are cases of infection with bacteriosis.

In unfavorable conditions, it is resistant to temperature changes. It is better to protect the plant from such conditions, but in their presence the yield or quality characteristics of vegetables do not suffer.

Description of the Russian version

“Aristocrat” belongs to the group of medium-ripening cucumbers.
The species was included in the state register in 2010. The authorship belongs to a group of scientists: O. Baklanov, K. Klimenko, S. Maksimova. The creators developed this variety for greenhouse cultivation. The hybrid is pollinated by bees, the inflorescences are mostly formed according to the female type. Fruiting begins after the 40th day. The plant is not tall, so the main stem does not require trellis structures. An ordinary garter or strip under the ceiling of the greenhouse will act as a whip holder. The branchiness of the cucumber is not strong. The leaves are small, the color is pale green, less than the shade of the fruit, so the greens are easy to find. One or two ovaries are formed in the leaf axils. The shape of the fruit is cylindrical. The tubercles are small, tightly pressed to each other. The pubescence has a light tone, close to white. On the dense skin, longitudinal stripes and spots are easily distinguishable.

The harvest that the developers of the Aristocrat variety of cucumbers promise is up to 13 kg per square meter.

“Aristocrat” has excellent taste characteristics and is universal in purpose. Resistant to dangerous diseases leading to a decrease in the quantity and quality of fruits:

• powdery mildew;
• cucumber mosaic virus;
• false form of manifestation of powdery mildew;
• brown spot.

Basic indicators

Under conditions suitable for plant viability, the variety produces up to 13 kg of yield per 1 m2. In industrial conditions, you can harvest 100-125 t/ha. With insufficient care, the indicator may decrease. The fruiting period begins after 42 days, and for the Korean analogue - after 35-38 days.

Any variety has its disadvantages and advantages. For the Aristocrat hybrid, the advantages outweigh the possible disadvantages.

Advantages:

• early ripeness;
• high percentage of seed germination;
• long fruiting period;
• resistance to adverse conditions;
• good immunity;
• ease of care.

The variety is a hybrid, which means that gardeners do not have the opportunity to prepare seed material on their own. It is necessary to regularly purchase new seeds. For the domestic hybrid, the disadvantage is difficulty in pollination.

Hybrids differ in their pollination methods. The product requires the help of insects, so bumblebees and bees are needed for pollination. The imported analogue is parthenocarpic and does not need help with pollination.

Requirements for growing conditions

Soils with a special composition characteristic are suitable for this variety:

• loam;
• loose soil with a high degree of air permeability.

“Aristocrat” cucumbers are recommended to be grown after cabbage, onions, peppers, and potatoes.

You can plant immediately after the end of frost and warming. If the soil has warmed up to 14-15 degrees, then it’s time to plant seeds or seedlings of cucumbers. The depth of immersion of seeds is 2-3 cm. Crops/seedlings are arranged in rows. In the early stages of development, cucumber bushes are covered with film or covering material, even when grown in greenhouses.

Planting pattern:

• between rows – 60 cm;
• between bushes - 15 cm.

The soil under the bushes, in the area where the roots are located, is constantly loosened. This is done to ensure oxygen access to the root system. Water in the morning or evening, when it gets cool.

Agricultural care technology is no different from other types. This is a set of activities:

• watering with warm water;
• fertilizing with various fertilizers: mineral and organic;
• loosening the soil;
• weeding and weed removal;
• topping.

Agricultural technology

To plant a plant, you should take care of the bed in advance. The soil must first be dug up, enriched with fertilizers and loosened. Before planting, the soil is moistened. Testing the soil for acidity is mandatory. At elevated soil pH levels:.

• lime;
• treated with special solutions, for example, carbonate or ash.

You should wait for stable temperatures and no changes in weather conditions. The soil temperature should be warmed up to 14-15 °C and not have frozen areas. When planting, rows are made at a distance of 60 cm from each other, later seeds are planted in them to a depth of 25-40 mm. The bushes should not interfere with each other, so they are sown at a distance of at least 15 cm from each other. The end of March or the beginning of April is suitable for sowing. When planting during these months, already in May you can please your household with fresh fruits.

Seeds can be planted using either seedling or non-seedling methods. Preparing the soil for seedlings should include:

• preparation of containers for sowing;
• preparation of the substrate.

The soil is enriched with peat and part of the soil is added into which the seedlings will later be transplanted. It is better if it is loam, since the hybrid grows better in such soils. The container for sowing can be of any kind, but must provide drainage for the root system. It is good to use self-degrading materials.

The seed is planted at the same depth as in open ground. After planting, the container is covered with film and thick cloth. Replant after the first leaves appear on the cucumbers. When planting, you should handle the seedlings carefully so as not to damage the root system.

Regardless of the form of planting, the gardener must provide basic rules of care. These include:

• watering;
• loosening;
• hilling;
• weeding;
• hem.

Tie and shape the plant as needed. Water daily or every other day. The gardener pays attention to the dryness of the soil before watering. The water should be warm, it is advisable to settle it first.

Note!

You need to moisturize generously, but do not pour too much water. The water supply must be regular. For irrigation, watering cans are used to distribute water evenly without splashing the leaves of the plant.

Water at the root. The sun should not be hot during moistening, so as not to burn the plant. Experienced gardeners use morning or evening hours for watering.

Fertilizing is done with mineral and organic fertilizers, no earlier than 3 times per season. 10-14 days after planting, the first procedure is carried out. The plant needs:

• potassium;
• phosphorus.

Specialized stores offer a large number of preparations that allow you to apply fertilizers with high quality. For example, Epin. You can also use folk remedies for feeding:

• infusions of onion peels or yeast;
• manure;
• ash.

Weeding is carried out as needed. The fewer weeds there are on the ridge, the better for cucumbers. Loosening and hilling are done regularly, on an ongoing basis. Both procedures enrich the plant with oxygen and help improve growth and higher yield. It is better to carry out manipulations after watering. When the lashes reach a high growth, they are tied up and pinched after some time. The harvest is collected regularly as it ripens.

Review: Seeds of Cucumber Aristocrat “Professiyne nasinnya” – An excellent variety for the garden and balcony

I love experimenting with planting various garden crops on a city balcony. Since the balcony faces south, I wanted to try something more complex than green onions and herbs. I decided to try planting cucumbers. For planting, I chose the Aristocrat variety from the Ukrainian company “Professiyne nasinnya”, which offers seeds of Dutch selection. In addition, this is a fairly early ripening variety with a ripening period of 35 days. For a balcony, it is also important that the cucumber is self-pollinating, since bees are still rare guests indoors. The company also promises 100% germination for all its seeds. there were 15 seeds in the package. I didn’t need all of them, since the cucumbers needed to trudge somewhere. At the end of April I planted 8 pieces. Two in large peat pots; I used universal soil for seedlings. All 8 of them sprouted. Then I left one stronger plant at a time and pulled out the weaker ones.

When the plants formed about 4 leaves, I transferred them to stationary containers. I simply carefully cut the pot lengthwise and along the bottom with scissors, put it directly into the container and sprinkled it with soil with the addition of hydrogel. For cucumbers, it is recommended to take containers of at least 5 liters, but I had long containers of about 9 liters. I planted 2 bushes in each. During the day, the containers stood on the balcony, and at night I brought them into the room. But when the cucumbers began to grow whiskers and weave, we had to finally move them out onto the balcony, put up sticks and attach ropes to the wall for support.

Watering is standard as it dries, fertilizing once a week with liquid universal fertilizer based on humus. Some people recommend thinning the leaves, but I only removed the yellowed ones. Well, I controlled the number of ovaries, since this is still not a garden bed and there is no point in leaving more than 3-4 at a time.

Another important quality of the variety is resistance to stressful growing conditions. Since the balcony is not a natural environment for cucumbers, this property is very beneficial. In general, I am pleased with the variety and recommend it for various garden experiments.

Description of the variety

Growing is possible both indoors and outdoors. The variety is resistant to diseases such as powdery mildew, cucumber mosaic virus, and brown spot. Also resistant to stressful situations.

General characteristics of the hybrid variety:
