The indeterminate variety is suitable for cultivation in temporary and permanent film shelters. The geography of this variety is extensive, since the hybrid has good immunity. Crop care is pretty straightforward. At the same time, the culinary purpose of cucumbers is varied, which makes them suitable for both commercial cultivation and for personal use.

The bushes of this variety are distinguished by strong shoots, strewn with small green leaves. The branching is weak, and therefore the plants are compact. The sunny yellow flowers are of the female type. The fruits are cylindrical in shape, can grow up to 12 cm and reach 130 g in weight. The skin of cucumbers has small tubercles and a beautiful green tint with light stripes that create the illusion of overflow.

The variety is ideal for fresh consumption, as it has a delicate sweet taste without bitterness. When salting and canning, juicy, crispy pulp without voids does not change its consistency. Cucumbers remain firm and continue to delight with excellent taste.

The hybrid is considered early. When choosing a seedling cultivation method, sowing is carried out in April. The bushes are moved to a permanent place at the end of May. From the moment of emergence of seedlings to the receipt of the first cucumbers, 38-42 days pass.

A vegetable grower can get an average of 12.8 kg of fruits of this variety from one square meter. Such statistics allows us to classify the hybrid as a high-yielding variety.

Leave 30-40 cm of free space between the plants. The optimal spacing between rows is 60 cm.

For this hybrid, it is worth choosing a site with fertile soil of neutral acidity. In the fall, the soil should be enriched with mineral components and cleaned of weeds. In the spring it is enough to loosen the soil before direct planting. Growing bushes need good watering (every 3-5 days, depending on the weather). It is worth moistening the soil with exceptionally warm water. In addition, to ensure better growth and abundant fruiting, fertilizer should be periodically applied to the soil. An excellent solution is the alternation of organic matter and mineral components. And also this variety benefits from potassium sulfate and nitrophoska.

The hybrid is resistant to cucumber mosaic virus, cladosporiosis, powdery mildew and powdery mildew. However, there are threats of other troubles. For example, plants can be affected by root rot. In such cases, use the appropriate chemicals ("Gamair", "Previkur" and others). With fusarium help to fight means such as "Baktofit", "Quadris". If signs of black rot are detected, a solution of vitriol with urea, chalk with copper or a Bordeaux mixture is used.
