A high-yielding mid-early bee-pollinated hybrid with partial parthenocarpy. From germination to the first harvest of fruits is 47-52 days.
Plants are predominantly of the female flowering type, forming 1-3 ovaries per node. The cucumbers are white-spined, weighing 90-100 g, dense, without voids.
Juicy and crunchy, with excellent taste. Perfectly suited for salting, marinating, and canning. The hybrid is resistant to cladosporiosis and powdery mildew.
Recommended for film covers and open ground. Yield: 10-11 kg/m2.
Agrotechnology.
Sowing in a hole 2-3 pieces to a depth of 2-3 cm. In the phase of 2-3 true leaves, the seedlings are thinned out, leaving 1-2 strong plants. A seedling growing method is possible (15-20-day-old seedlings are planted in the ground after the threat of frost has passed).

Did you know that... in temporary film tunnel shelters, cucumbers are grown without shaping. Cucumber vines cannot be turned over and moved from place to place — this reduces the yield. This applies to all varieties and hybrids of cucumber. In addition to observing agrotechnical techniques when growing cucumbers, to obtain high yields, it is necessary to choose the right varieties.

Cucumber on a net.
By its nature, the cucumber is a vine. It loves space and sun. Usually, those who grow cucumbers create a special trellis out of twine or wire, along which the cucumber vines climb. Others simply drive stakes into the ground among the cucumber plants, which the plants cling to as they grow. If none of this is done, the vines, as they grow, lie on top of each other and get tangled. Harvesting and caring for such plants can be very difficult. Recently, many gardeners have found a simple and original way out of how to create comfortable conditions for both the plant and themselves. To do this, a nylon (like a volleyball) or wire mesh is stretched vertically on stakes along the rows of cucumber plants. As they grow, the plants cling to the mesh cells with their vines and thus create a green vertical carpet. At the same time, all the leaves of the plants receive enough light, are well ventilated, and are less affected by powdery mildew. And most importantly: when harvesting fruits, the vines do not break. Fruits are easy and convenient to collect, and the yield is several times higher than with the usual ground placement. Plants on the net bear fruit for 2-3 weeks longer, which is also important.
