Cucumber variety General (F1)

Breeders of various companies continue to create incredible varietal varieties of cucumbers, trying to develop the ideal crop. Recently, scientists from the agricultural firm Uralsky Dachnik presented a very interesting variety to the court of gardeners, called Generalsky and belonging to the premium class.

Appearance

The plant is vigorous (height can exceed 2 m), climbing. A feature of this hybrid is the self-regulating type of branching. This means that, with a large yield load on the main stem, lateral shoots are not formed or are formed very weakly. They begin to grow actively as soon as the bulk of the crop is harvested. Up to 12 ovaries are formed in the nodes. Such cultures are called superbeam. Cucumbers are very attractive - small (10 - 12 cm long), dense, neat, dark green in color. The surface is bumpy to the touch. The tubercles are large, medium or frequent. The pulp of the greens is crispy, aromatic.

Characteristics

• General'skiy has a high yield. During the growing season, you can collect up to 40 kg per sq. meter, and in the greenhouse this figure will be even higher. Up to 400 delicious fruits are removed from one plant per season;
• the first greens ripen in June (if planted with seedlings), but due to cold resistance, fruiting lasts a very long time - in the open field until mid-autumn. In a greenhouse, this process is even longer;
• cucumbers ripen not one by one, but several pieces at once;
• incredible shade tolerance is a significant plus. And in combination with cold resistance, it makes the variety an excellent option for cool regions where the sunny day is short;
• hybridity provides genetic protection against almost all diseases;
• the use of Generalskoe fruit is universal. They are good fresh, great for pickling and canning.

Agrotechnics

The agricultural technology of this cucumber has its own characteristics, observing which you can achieve such a high yield. You can grow a hybrid by seed or seedling. Seeds are sown in the ground in May or June, depending on the climatic characteristics of the region. Sowing seedlings is carried out in April.

It is necessary to form a culture in only one stem. The bottom 3 to 4 knots are removed so that the remaining ovaries receive enough nutrients. You need to grow on a trellis. When the plant reaches a height of 2 meters, the top can be trimmed off to allow existing ovaries to mature. After almost the entire crop has been removed from the central stem, the cucumber needs to be fed with nitrogen-containing fertilizer so that the formation of young fruits goes more actively. Planting scheme - no more than two plants per 1 square meter.

General's highly productive, early ripening, parthenocarpic, gherkin hybrid of the female type of flowering, suitable for open and closed ground. Stable high yields are ensured in all conditions. The resistance of the variety to diseases will allow growing an environmentally friendly crop, since the number of preventive treatments will be minimized. The extended period of fruiting will provide a long cucumber season, allowing plenty of fresh greens to crunch and make seaming for the winter.
