Cucumber kibria

Cucumber is one of the most popular vegetables on the Russian table. That only they do not make of it: salads, sauces, canning. People who have their own personal plots tend to grow them on their own. There are so many cucumber seeds on the modern market that you can easily get lost in them. If you want to harvest a rich harvest, then the Kibriya variety is perfect.

Thanks for the appearance of the ultra-early variety is necessary for Dutch breeders. The Cybria cucumber was bred in 2009 in the Netherlands. 12 years later, he won the love of gardeners around the world. It has long been grown outside the Netherlands, and in 2011 it was entered in the state register of breeding achievements in the Russian Federation. Thus, Kibriya was recommended to be grown in different regions of Russia.

The hybrid belongs to ultra-early varieties, brings a rich harvest and does not require special care. Lovers of the Herman variety will especially like them, as they have similar characteristics.

The Kibriya variety does not require special conditions, it can be grown in open ground, under a covering material, in a greenhouse and even in cold weather on the windowsill of an apartment.

Cucumbers are great for both personal cultivation and for cultivation in greenhouse complexes, farms and agricultural holdings.

The hybrid is parthenocarpic, that is, it does not require pollinating insects. But it is almost impossible to achieve the absence of pollination in open beds, as a result of which the greens grow in the form of a hook and lose their presentation. For the greenhouses to be beautiful, it is necessary to grow them in closed greenhouses. For open ground, other varieties required by the pollinator are suitable.

As mentioned earlier, the plant is parthenocarpic. Seeds are not produced in fruits, so you have to buy them annually. The plant itself is quite powerful, not limited in growth, lateral leaves are poorly developed. The leaves themselves are small, green. It blooms according to the female type, up to three zelents are tied in one bosom.

Zelentsy are medium in size, oblong-oval in shape. They have a rough surface, rich green color. Inside, they do not form voids, seeds, light green pulp. The fruits themselves have no bitterness. The average weight of a cucumber is from 70 to 90 grams.

Kibriya cucumbers are a versatile variety, perfect for both fresh consumption and canning for the winter.

Gardeners note good taste, the absence of bitterness and the prevalence of a refreshing shade.

The first generations of the variety were considered medium late, ripening in about 50 days. More modern hybrids mature in 35-45 days and bear the first fruits by the end of June.

The Kibriya variety has a high yield. So, from 1 hectare, you can collect an average of 19 kg of fruit. This is 2 kg more than other known varieties.

Cucumbers of this variety are versatile, that is, they can adapt to any climatic conditions and soil type. But Russian agronomists recommend growing Kybriya in the North-West and Central regions of the country.

You can plant with seeds in open ground, or pre-grow seedlings.

If the second method was chosen, then it is necessary to prepare the soil before planting. You need to add sawdust, peat, humus to it, mix everything thoroughly, and also spill it well so that the mixture is wet. It is better to plant cucumbers in peat pots or tablets, this will prevent possible damage to the root system during planting in a greenhouse or open ground.

Seeds do not need to be pre-soaked, as they are thoroughly processed at all stages of production.

Sow seeds in a pot to a depth of 1 cm, sprinkle with earth on top. After planting, put in a sunny place, do not forget to feed and water.

The planting of seedlings in open ground is carried out in early-mid May, after having previously treated them with mineral complexes. Before planting, dig holes 10-15 cm deep, form a hole and spill boiling water.

Seedlings are placed in a hole along with a peat pot or a separate cassette, and sprinkled with earth on top. Water the plants well immediately after planting.

You can also plant cucumbers with seeds, for this you need to wait until the soil warms up to 18-20 degrees and a comfortable air temperature. Sowing is optimal at the end of May.

No more than two seedlings are planted per 1 square meter of land.

Experienced gardeners recommend planting through seedlings, so the plant adapts faster to weather conditions and provides better survival.

After planting, it is necessary to carefully monitor the condition of the seedlings and constantly look after them.

In the first days after planting, abundant watering from a watering can or hose is necessary. This is necessary for the plant to take root better. In the future, you can switch to drip irrigation.

It is imperative to loosen the soil after watering. This will saturate the roots with oxygen and also prevent the formation of a stale crust on the surface.

Gardeners will have to constantly remove weeds to keep the plant growing. To reduce the number of weeds, sprinkle with sawdust periodically around the cucumbers.

In order for the plants to bring a good harvest and not get sick, it is necessary to constantly apply mineral fertilizers purchased in stores, and organic substances (for example, chicken droppings).

The variety has no special requirements for soil. It is important that it is warm enough (at least 18 degrees) and allows air to pass through well; for this, high beds are made.

The plant does not require special climatic conditions, but it does not tolerate drought well. If the region experiences abnormally hot weather, it is necessary to carefully monitor watering. Otherwise, the flowers, buds and fruit ovaries will disappear.

Since there is an active sale of Kibriya seeds on the Internet, there are many reviews on this topic. In general, they are positive. Buyers note a rich harvest, good refreshing taste. I especially like the taste of canned cucumbers, despite the long storage in the jar, they remain crisp and do not fall apart.

The Kibriya variety is a cucumber with a high yield and excellent taste. No special conditions are required for cultivation and care, it is only important to monitor the moisture content of the soil around the plant. The only drawbacks are the purchase of seeds annually and the cost is slightly above average. Delicious and rich harvest!
