Description of Spino cucumber
Description of the variety

Literally a few months after it appeared on the world market, this type of cucumber was entered into the National Register of the Russian Federation.
It can be grown in all regions of the country, regardless of climatic conditions. Moreover, it can be grown not only in the greenhouse, but also in the open field.
This hybrid variety ripens fairly quickly. After the farmer plants the seeds in the ground, the harvest takes place in 30-40 days. This species does not require careful lighting, and can bear fruit even in places with minimal light levels.
Plant characteristic
The bush blooms in a generative way. There is a rather small distance between the nodes. The sheets are medium in size. Such characteristics allow the ovary to form better and create space for a dozen ovaries.
Pickles form very quickly due to the fact that the plant has a bouquet flowering and a small number of shoots on the sides.
Characteristics of the fetus
All the fruits that the farmer picks when the fruits are fully ripe are of the same size. The length of each fruit is, on average, 12-15 cm. A large number of large bumps are observed on the surface of the skin. The color of the coating is dark green. There are no white streaks or specks on the peel.

Landing rules
The variety is best grown in seedlings.
The seeds do not require preparation for planting. That is, the gardener does not have to germinate seeds, process them with chemicals or warm them up.
Disembarkation is carried out in accordance with weather conditions. It is important to pay attention to the quality of soil heating. Its temperature must be at least 20 ° C. Seeds must be planted in separate containers and at a distance of 20 cm from each other. If you plant them closer, then the yield will drop significantly.The depth of penetration of seeds into the hole is 2 cm. After planting, the hole needs to be watered with warm water. It is also required to mulch the planting material with peat or manure waste.
The soil for planting seedlings must be used only that which has a surface layer of peat. After that, a small amount of limestone or complex fertilizers should be placed on top of the soil. A few days before planting, the soil should be treated with special substances that will not allow the root system to rot. The seedlings are planted in the soil to a depth of about 2 cm. In order for the plant not to develop a film that will block the flow of moisture and air, it is required to cover the planted material with a film. It is best to use seedlings that already have several formed leaves. There should be no more than 2 plants per 1 m2. This will prevent them from twisting together.
Care
The whole principle of care is regular watering and feeding. Fertilizers are used depending on age and in the growing phase. The amount of fertilizer applied also depends on this. An excess or insufficient amount can provoke an abnormal formation of the bush, and in the future, the fruit.
In order for the yield to only increase, it is recommended to control the number of ovaries on the plant. Their number should not exceed 20. Do not forget about regular loosening of the soil. When loosening, it is important to remove all weeds and other foreign objects in the garden bed. Watering is done only in the evening. This allows moisture to hold on longer and penetrates the root system as efficiently as possible.
Diseases and pests
This hybrid cultivar of Spino cucumber is highly resistant to many known diseases. Various variations of spotting, mosaic or dew do not affect the development of this plant in any way. Sometimes only a slight yellow discoloration of the fruit can be seen. But in order to prevent this, it is necessary to use special chemicals.
The best effects on this variety of cucumbers are drugs such as Gamair, Thanos and Kurdan. It is required to use special medicinal preparations that will not allow insects and ground pests to manifest themselves. Spraying is best done a few days prior to heavy watering. This will allow all substances to show their full protection. If you do not comply with this condition, then watering will completely wash away all signs of the presence of poison.
