Characteristics of the variety
The main feature of this variety is that the Trilogy F1 cucumber can self-pollinate, it does not need neighbors or bees for this. Trilogy propagates by the method of bundling, that is, all fruits are concentrated on the main pillar, and the lateral shoots are weak to fully ripen.
For the first time, 8 shoots are formed on the bush, which ripen after 50 days. The yield of Trilogy is amazing, all the fruits appear and ripen steadily, for this they need a lot of light, the quality and juiciness of the fruits will depend on it.
Gherkins of this type are versatile, they are perfect both for fresh use and for harvesting pickles and preservation.
Description of the plant
The plant is quite strong, has average ripening rates, 51-59 days pass from the moment of planting until the first harvest. Most often the variety is used to grow in open soil, and for greenhouse conditions there are other varieties of this variety, from an earlier period.
Bushes can grow over 2 m in height. Plants have medium branching and weak lateral shoots, almost all of them have a female flowering type.
Description of fruits
Small pimples can be seen on the fruits, and small white thorns are also present on the green skin. Cucumbers reach 10 cm in length, their weight is 75 g.
Cucumbers have excellent taste, they are juicy, with crunchy flesh and a complete lack of bitterness. The yield of plants of this type is 655 centners per hectare. In addition, the variety can withstand long distance transportation. The main thing is to properly store the fruits and observe the temperature.
Advantages and disadvantages
Trilogi F1 managed to prove itself from the positive side. The main advantages of the view:
- easily transfers transportation;
- keeps a presentation for a long time;
- has excellent productivity;
- characterized by the amicability of plant shoots;
- is resistant to most diseases;
- easily tolerates sudden changes in temperature.
The only negative side of this species is its poor resistance to peronosporosis. As soon as the disease hits the plant, after a few days the bush dies, since it cannot resist such a disease at all.
Planting cucumbers
Seedlings are planted in heated soil
Cucumbers of this variety can be grown both by seedling and non-seedling methods. Often, the seeds are planted a month before the direct planting on the site.
Seeds must be soaked before planting: this speeds up the growth of shoots. Seedlings are planted in open ground when the ground has warmed up enough. This usually happens at the end of May.
When using the seedless method, sowing sprouted seedlings is carried out only in the ground heated to 15 ° C. The depth of this type of planting is 2 cm, the density of plants is 7 bushes per 1 sq. m.
The soil
The soil for this type of cucumber must be loosened so that it can retain moisture. Also, it is constantly fertilized so that the bushes receive a sufficient amount of vitamins.
The root system of this type is small, in order to fertilize it, they dig a trench no more than 40 cm deep: this is the optimal size for organic fertilization and constant watering of plants.
Decomposing organic matter creates a sufficiently large amount of heat, which allows faster plant growth and fruit development. The plant is fed throughout the season.
Growing place
The landing site should be sufficiently sunny and protected from the winds from all directions. Corn is used as a human shield.
Temperature
The optimum temperature for plant growth is between 15 ° C and 30 ° C. Too low a temperature leads to the death of the plant or to a halt in its development. In extreme cases, the bushes are insulated with an organic additive or film.
Conclusion
Trilogy is a unique plant that can survive in any conditions, the main thing is to adhere to the planting conditions, monitor the temperature and do not forget to water the plants throughout the season.
