Cucumber ALEXEICH

The 'Alexeich' cucumber variety is an early-maturing parthenocarpic hybrid with a female flowering type. The period from seedlings to the first harvest is 37-43 days. The plant is medium-height and weakly branched, which simplifies care and reduces the need for frequent pinching. The fruit set is in clusters, promoting uniform fruit ripening and high yield — up to 14 kg per square meter.

The 'Alexeich' cucumber fruits have an attractive appearance: they are medium-ribbed, bright green, 7-9 cm long, and 4-5 cm in diameter. The weight of one fruit is approximately 60-70 grams. The cucumbers are free of bitterness and have high flavor qualities, making them suitable for fresh consumption, pickling, and salting, especially during the seedling stage.

For successful cultivation of this variety, medium loamy, well-aerated soils are recommended. Good preceding crops include potato, onion, cabbage, and pepper. Seeds are sown into soil warmed to 14-15°C at a depth of 2-3 cm, and for seedlings — at a depth of 1.5-2 cm at a temperature of 25°C, then lowered to 15°C after germination. Plants are transplanted after the threat of frost, following a 60x15 cm spacing. Care includes weeding, loosening, watering with warm water after sunset, and 2-3 applications of complex mineral fertilizers to ensure proper nutrition. The variety is resistant to true and false powdery mildew, enhancing its reliability and crop quality.
