The bush is medium-tall, with well-developed lateral and central shoots. The root system of the plant is well developed, it easily holds tall bushes. The stem mustache is tenacious, which allows the plant to easily wrap around a horizontal support.

Large saturated green leaves have slightly cut edges. In internodes, flower stalks with a large number of yellow flowers grow. 10-15 fruits are tied in one knot.

Cucumbers B nogradnaya bunch of good taste, have a universal destination. After heat treatment, they do not lose color and remain crispy.

Care

The variety is undemanding, stress-resistant, but due to the fact that it has highly developed bushes and at the same time forms a large number of fruits, requires additional watering and intensive top dressing.Also, cucumbers f1 grapes respond positively to cultivation on pylons and trellises.

Watering

Like all pumpkin crops, cucumbers are water-loving and require regular watering. Adequate watering plays an important role in the growing season of a crop. Plants need water to:

• transport nutrients;
• generate energy and nutrients during photosynthesis;
• cooling with increasing air temperature.

The plant needs regular watering

Accordingly, with insufficient watering, the plant has a nutrient deficiency and overheating, which will lead to a halt in the development, fruiting, wilting and aging of the bushes.

Cucumbers are watered exclusively with warm water in the morning e or evening hours.

The bushes respond well to regular spraying. Watering is carried out at least 2-3 times a week, on hot days it is done every day.

According to the description, grapes are resistant to drought and even in conditions of moisture deficiency form smooth green fruits. This property allows the plant to endure short-term drought without harm.

Feeding

Cucumbers fertilize 3-4 times per season. Use mineral or organic top dressing. The mineral composition and type of fertilizer depends on the growing season.To provide nutrients, use:

• nitrogen fertilizer (urea, bird droppings, herbal infusions, ash), which promotes the growth of leaves and stems;
• phosphorus-rich top dressing, (superphosphate, bone meal), which ensure the development of the root system and stimulate intensive flowering;
• potash fertilizers (kalimagnesii, ash), which help to evenly distribute beneficial substances across all plant organs, which is necessary for fruit growth.

When using fertilizers, the dosages and Use chlorine-free cucumber top dressing.

Trellis cultivation

• cladosporosis;
• fusariosis;
• powdery mildew;
• altarniosis.
