Cucumber "Wisconsin"

Gherkin "Wisconsin".
A medium-early variety: fruits ripen in 53-56 days. The fruit is green, nicely shaped with black-spined. Medium-vine. High-yielding.
Fruit are short thick and blunt-ended when small (smooth and cylindrical when larger).
This cucumber variety is ideal for salting and preserving (but is mainly used for salting). Cultivated outdoors and under cover.

* Cucumbers do not tolerate watering at the roots. Try the following original method of watering and fertilizing: miniature wells are arranged in the cucumber bed, located a meter from each other. To arrange them, metal beer cans are used, with the bottom knocked out with a chisel.
* To attract bees to bee-pollinated hybrids, you can spray the plants with a weak sugar solution (1 teaspoon of sugar per 1 liter of water). It is useful to add fresh loose fertile soil to the cucumber bed several times during the summer (without hilling the plants) with a layer of 1-2 cm, timing this work to fertilizing with organic matter.
It is very important when growing cucumbers in a greenhouse to maintain high air humidity in the heat. To do this, you can spray the paths and walls of the cucumber greenhouse with water.
* When growing cucumbers, it should be remembered that excessive planting density can lead to mutual oppression of plants, delayed growth and development, delayed fruiting, reduced yield, and deterioration in the quality of the fruit. Therefore, after the first true leaf appears, the plants are thinned out. When thinning, do not pull out the plants, but rather cut them at ground level. After thinning, add peat or sawdust to the cucumber plants with a layer of 2-3 cm. If you are late with thinning, the plants stretch out, produce late lateral shoots and the yield decreases.
* It is preferable to loosen the beds of grown cucumbers with a pitchfork, which is stuck between the rows of plants and immediately pulled out without making any movements to the side. This method of loosening has a positive effect on the development of the root system of cucumbers, located in the upper layer of soil.
Before flowering, cucumbers are best watered in the morning, and during flowering and fruiting - in the evening. On a cloudy day, the watering rate is slightly reduced, but the soil should not be dry.
* To increase the yield and rapid ripening of cucumbers, the main shoots of the plant should be laid out in empty spaces, pinned to the ground with horned sticks and sprinkled with soil. To form a root system and enhance the nutrition of the plant, thin shoots that do not have ovaries should be cut off, and side shoots should be pinched to a length of 35-40 cm.
