Growing and care

Cucumbers are watered with warm, settled water at the root. The procedure is carried out in the mornings or evenings.

Feed at least 2-3 times per season. The crop needs organic fertilizers and some mineral fertilizers - superphosphate, potassium nitrate, urea. The interval between fertilizing should be at least 2 weeks.

The soil is periodically carefully loosened for additional care. As they appear, weeds are pulled out and removed from the site. In a greenhouse, the bushes are formed and tied to vertical supports; in open ground, plants need not be formed.

The AELITA agricultural company presents seeds of parthenocarpic hybrids of bunch-bearing cucumbers, which are becoming increasingly popular in our country. Such cucumber hybrids form fruits without pollination and produce consistently high yields regardless of weather conditions and the presence of pollinating insects. In addition, parthenocarpic hybrids have other significant advantages over other varieties and hybrids, such as the absence of barren flowers on plants, high disease resistance, excellent taste and the ability to grow both in a greenhouse and in open ground. Hybrids of bunch-type fruiting cucumbers form several ovaries in each internode, which, gradually ripening, form bunches of cucumbers with excellent taste.

Review from an experienced gardener about the Kuzya hybrid

Rykov Vladimir Valentinovich

For 5 years now I have been growing cucumbers of the Kuzya F1 variety. I use them to preserve them for the winter. The result is delicious gherkins without voids inside or bitterness. I grow this variety in open ground. From 1 sq. m of planting, I collect about 6-7 kg of small cucumbers. I get such a rich harvest thanks to the fact that I regularly fertilize. For Kuzya F1 cucumbers, I use only mullein. I also tried other fertilizers, but it is with cow manure that I get a rich harvest. First, I add mullein solution into the hole before planting the seedlings. I do the second feeding after 2 weeks, the third after another 2 weeks. After this, I no longer apply fertilizer, since the fruiting period begins soon. In addition, I water my cucumbers regularly. That's why I get a good harvest from every bush.

Early species

The climatic conditions of the region do not always allow the cultivation of late varieties. To get a lot of delicious cucumbers in a short time, you need to find a suitable variety.

Casper

A strong and undemanding plant, its characteristics resemble the popular Cappuccino and Cornet. It copes with pollination on its own, so it is suitable for closed structures. From the appearance of the first shoots to the harvest, 40 days pass. A culture with bunched ovaries forms from 4 to 8 fruits in the axils. At the genetic level, the bush has a strong immunity to fungi.

Mid-early species

Unlike early cucumbers, these varieties are distinguished by their high taste characteristics and good keeping quality. Domestic retail chains offer a huge number of hybrids, but it is better to choose proven varieties.

Cannon

If you are looking for seeds for industrial cultivation, we recommend paying attention to a plant with a mixed flowering type. The mid-season vine will delight gardeners 8.5 weeks after the seedlings hatch. The bee-pollinated bush develops without problems in low light conditions and is not afraid of rot, mosaic and ascochyta. If pollinating varieties are planted nearby, the hybrid can be cultivated in a greenhouse.

In terms of taste and external characteristics, Karambol F1 resembles the Karina variety, beloved by domestic farmers. Large, elongated fruits reach a weight of 200 grams. Delicious greens are intended for salad use. The product retains its commercial characteristics for a long time and is transported without problems.

Karelian plus

The plant will delight you with its productivity

The self-pollinating variety Karelsky Plus is not afraid of low temperatures and has good resistance to cucumber diseases. It enters the harvest period in the sixth week after emergence and can develop without problems on poor soils. Fruits simultaneously and abundantly until the first frost.

Usually at least 10 kg are harvested from one plant. Externally, greens resemble a spindle, the length of which reaches 9 cm. Due to their pleasant aroma and lack of bitterness, the product is most often used for processing.

Cadet

The shade-tolerant variety thrives both outdoors and in a greenhouse. Tall bushes with a powerful root system are resistant to cucumber diseases. The mid-season variety begins to bear fruit in the eighth week after the seedlings hatch.

The Cadet hybrid has tasty, large greens, reaching a length of 21 cm. Small tubercles tightly cover the bright skin. Thanks to its pleasant aroma and long-term storage, the products are popular among domestic gardeners.

Cruise

A plant of Russian selection will delight you with a harvest 50 days after hatching from seeds. Grows well in open ground and greenhouse conditions. The bush is resistant to common diseases and is not afraid of heat.

Cucumbers Cruise F1, like the varieties Kolyan and Karapuz, are classified as gherkin-type hybrids. Small greens are covered with a peel with large tubercles. Neat and aromatic fruits are suitable for pickling and pickling.

Import selection

Foreign hybrids Corinna and Kozyrnaya Karta have long been favorites among our farmers. But the price is not always affordable, so you have to look for more budget options. Let's look at the most suitable types for domestic farmers.

Corentyne

The plant of Dutch selection will delight you with the first harvest 6 weeks after emergence. The low-maintenance variety is grown in any type of soil. The bush is not afraid of common ailments, so it will grow without problems for novice farmers.

The beautiful, uniform fruits of the Corentin hybrid are very similar to the domestic Quadrille and Carolina cucumbers. The products have excellent product and taste qualities and last for a long time without noticeable loss in appearance. Universal use of greens, which perfectly reveal the flavor in salads and pickles.

Capricorn

The Turkish variety will please you with its early fruiting. It can be grown without problems in any type of soil. To obtain a bountiful harvest, bees and pollinating plants are not needed. All positive characteristics appear only in warmth, so it is not recommended to lower the temperature of the earth below 15 degrees.

The Capricorn hybrid has beautiful neat fruits, reaching a length of 14 cm. It is universal in use, although the rich pulp will best show its characteristics when fresh. The main crop is harvested after the first ripening.

The popular cucumber of Polish selection belongs to a bee-pollinated variety of vegetables; its characteristics are a bit reminiscent of the domestic Krepysh. A mid-early plant will produce its first harvest 8 weeks after the mass emergence of seedlings. The crop is very demanding on soil fertility, heat and moisture, but will forgive gardeners for mistakes in growing technology.
