Agrotechnics
It is best to grow a hybrid in a seedling way. It is better to determine the time of sowing seeds independently, taking into account the climatic features of the region. You can take the standard terms as a basis - sowing seeds in early May, planting seedlings in the ground in late May or early June. Plants ready for transplanting should have at least 3 to 4 true leaves. Planting density - no more than 2 bushes per 1 square meter. A garter to a vertical trellis is required. It is recommended to form a plant in one stem. For this, in the axils of the first 3 - 4 leaf nodes, flowers and stepsons are completely removed.Then, as it grows, all growing shoots are removed. It is important to water the plant with warm water on time and feed it. After the first harvest, the bush is fed to everyone with nitrogen-containing fertilizers to enhance the growth of the ovaries that have appeared. In the future, it is advisable to fertilize the cucumber every week using complex formulations. The collection of fruits of this variety is carried out daily, so as not to inhibit the maturation of the forming ovary. To speed up the process of maturation of greenery in a greenhouse, a simple method is used. A barrel with fermented grass or manure is placed in the greenhouse, the carbon dioxide that is released at the same time helps the crop to ripen faster.
It is not difficult to grow a variety at home, but some rules are required. The main thing is to put the container with the culture in the most illuminated place, while trying to protect it from drafts, otherwise the ovary will disappear. Water is sufficient, but the soil in the container should not sour. Let the soil dry before watering again.
Cucumber hybrid It proved to be envy to everyone as a reliable and fruitful variety. Complex resistance to diseases, parthenocarp, the ability to set fruit even in low light are perhaps the main qualities when cultivated in greenhouses. But without observing agrotechnical rules, success will not work. And without daily collection of ripe fruits, you can not count on a good harvest. In addition, the belonging of the described cucumber to hybrids makes gardeners dependent on the suppliers of seed material, because they will have to buy seeds annually.
