Description of cucumbers variety Shchedryk f1
The hybrid form is included in the Russian register, as a crop for personal plots. For small farms, a hybrid is the best and most profitable option.
Variety characteristic
Cucumber Shchedryk f1 belongs to parthenocarpic varieties (self-pollinated). High resistance to diseases distinguishes the hybrid among similar varieties. The early maturity of the crop allows you to collect a stable crop several times a year (if the hybrid is grown in greenhouses).
After the seedlings start to grow rapidly, the first crop is harvested after 40-50 days. The cucumber variety is tasty and juicy, it is suitable for eating raw and for preparing marinades for the winter.
Description of fruits
Cucumber varieties Shchedryk f1 grow up to 12 cm in length. Gherkins from such a hybrid form are not obtained. Immediately after harvest, ripe fruits are transported for sale or used raw to prepare delicious meals. Description of the fruits of the hybrid Schedrik f1:
- cylindrical greens;
- cucumber length from 10 to 12 cm;
- the diameter of the greenery reaches 4 cm;
- the average weight is 100 g;
- the peel is dense, lumpy (tubercles are small and thick);
- the peel is green with small light stripes.
The cucumber has a sweetish flavor, and the overripe fruit has a bitter skin. Varieties Shchedryk f1 are characterized by dense pulp with a minimum number of seeds.
Genetically bred fruits rarely taste bitter if they are harvested on time. The resulting seeds are small.
Description of bushes
The characteristic of hybrid bushes affects their fertility: on average, up to 7 kg of cucumbers are harvested from one bush. For 1 m2, there is a yield of up to 12 kg, which is beneficial for mass production and trade. Indeterminate hybrid is unlimited in growth: it is medium-sized and moderately dense. The foliage of the bush grows profusely, on which a female-type flowering appears. In the deciduous knot, it is formed from three ovaries, which allows you to get a good harvest of cucumbers.
The bush is formed from one stem, on which all the juices from the root system are released. The number of cucumbers directly depends on the thickness of the stem and watering during the active growth of seedlings. Up to 12 full-fledged ovaries are formed on the stem. The hybrid has a well-developed root system. For the growth of cucumbers, a healthy rhizome is necessary, so planting seedlings on open ground is done carefully.
Benefits of the variety
Taking care of the plant is easy
The choice of a variety is based on the main criteria: planting requirements, care, fertilization and the amount of harvest. Shchedrik F1 combines ease of maintenance and high yield at the lowest cost for the gardener. Hybrid advantages:
- good keeping quality;
- the grown cucumber is stored for a long time and is easily transported;
- hybrid resistant to diseases (fungal and infectious);
- suitable for landing on any ground (indoor and outdoor);
- versatile in use.
Fruits rarely accumulate bitterness, therefore they are used for mass sales. Self-pollinated inflorescences do not need the presence of insects - planting is carried out at any time of the year.
Yield increases due to irrigation and fertilization. Ripe fruits are used for harvesting for the winter.
Growing from seeds
The protected ground creates favorable conditions for seed growth: the seeds do not need additional preparation or fertilization. In the last days of May, when the soil warms up well, you can plant seeds in the garden. The conditions for such a landing:
- cultivation is carried out on medium clay soils;
- the soil is fertilized from autumn to the arrival of frost;
- a land plot is selected after legumes or cabbage (after root crops the soil is depleted);
- the soil is fertilized with manure or compost;
- before planting seeds, it is necessary to check the temperature of the soil, it must be at least 16-18 ° С;
- the seeds are planted at a distance of 10 cm from each other.
Seedling formation takes place within 2 weeks under favorable environmental conditions.
The distance between the beds is chosen on the basis that the bushes are broad-leaved and dense (a distance of 60 cm is left between the rows).
Before planting, the seeds are processed: deformed, stained seeds are sifted out and discarded. Selected seeds are soaked in special solutions. After planting, the beds are covered with film material until the seedlings ascend.
Transplanting
For regions with cold ambient temperatures, the second type of hybrid planting is chosen - seedling. Seedlings are grown in prepared soil: the soil is disinfected, fertilized and saturated with moisture. Seeds for seedlings are hardened and soaked. Before the seedlings climb, the planting boxes are tightly covered with foil.
The optimum temperature for growing seedlings is 25 ° C. The soil with seedlings must be constantly moistened. Seedlings are supplemented with light to activate growth. Before planting on open ground, the seedlings are hardened for 10 days. Planting is done on the 30th day, when the young stems get stronger. There should be a distance of at least 90 cm between the rows and seedlings. A good place for seedlings is the soil in a small shade without additional moisture after rains. Seedling care depends on the region: too moist soil contributes to the development of fungal diseases and rotting of the root system.
