Flowering is profuse and long lasting. Flowers, for the most part, are of the female type. Many ovaries are formed on each plant: from 2-3 to 4 or more in regions with a warm sunny climate.
Description of the fetus
Fruits are dark green in color, medium in size, reaching 12-13 cm in length, weighing about 90-100 grams. They are even, but with a bumpy surface and short, but frequent hairs on it. The difference between the variety is that the fruits ripen at the same time, reaching the same size.
Planting a variety
To grow cucumbers that will be planted in open ground, the seeds of cucumber CB 4097 must be sown at the end of April to a depth of 1.5-2 cm. Seedlings should be planted in early June. It should be borne in mind that the variety has a well-developed root system, therefore, the capacity for planting it must be large.
For cultivation in greenhouses, depending on their height, the following cultivation methods are used:
- on a high trellis;
- with throwing over the trellis.
The first method is suitable for tall greenhouses. The second method can be used for both low and high greenhouses.
Care
The plant requires careful attention
The first step in the care is to reduce the difference between day and night temperatures by lowering the daily average. This is necessary so that the bush and the root system of the plant are well formed.
It is also important to monitor the level of salts (EC) in the soil: in the first five days, their level should not exceed 1.8-2.1. Then it needs to be increased to 2.5-2.7 and maintained for about a week. Such a gradual increase has a good effect on the development of the root and aerial part of the plant. But, ultimately, the EC level should not be more than 3.4, as this can threaten the root system with burns.
Particular attention should be paid to good lighting and air humidity. This may change the parameters of the fruit. At too high temperatures, the cucumbers are elongated, and at low temperatures, they are short.
Foliar feeding of plants is also important, which should be carried out twice a week. It consists in alternating feeding with microelements and fertilizing with calcium nitrate.
Removing yellowed leaves also has a positive effect on the plant.After the first harvest, provided there are more than 18 leaves on the bush, it is necessary to cut the first 3-4. In the future, the procedure is repeated. There should always be at least 18 leaves on the plant.
Possible diseases
The CV 4097 CV F1 variety is resistant to many common cucumber diseases. He is not afraid of either brown spot or the cucumber mosaic virus. Dangerous for him is only the appearance of powdery mildew, which can destroy the plant.
To avoid its appearance, it is necessary to maintain air humidity within 80%, regularly ventilate the room (if growing in greenhouse conditions) and fertilize the plants.
