Cucumber AL-LAIT

AL-LAIT — a mid-early parthenocarpic cucumber hybrid, intended for cultivation in open ground and under plastic coverings. The period from germination to the start of fruiting is 46-50 days. The plant has female flowering, forming one to three female flowers per node, which contributes to stable and abundant fruiting regardless of weather conditions. The cucumbers have a cylindrical shape, 9-10 cm long, large-bump, with white spines and intense green color. Fruit mass is 80-90 grams. The fruits are free of bitterness, have very dense flesh, and retain their crisp texture after canning.

The hybrid exhibits comprehensive resistance to a range of diseases, making it a reliable choice for gardeners. For successful cultivation, it is recommended to use seedlings prepared 2-3 weeks prior to planting. Seedlings are better grown in individual cups of about 0.4 liters, as cucumbers do not tolerate transplanting well. It is important to prepare the greenhouse or plot in advance with necessary equipment for heating and covering, as well as ensure good lighting and hardening off the seedlings.

AL-LAIT is suitable for various uses: fresh cucumbers are ideal for salads, pickling, and making pickled cucumbers. Due to their dense structure and lack of bitterness, the fruits retain their flavor and crisp texture even after processing. This hybrid is an excellent choice for those who value early harvest and high-quality fruit.
