Alternativa

Cucumber ALTERNATIVE is a fast-maturing parthenocarpic hybrid, characterized by high yield and excellent taste qualities. This hybrid is suitable for cultivation in open ground, under plastic covers, and also indoors. The plant is indeterminate, strongly branched, with female flowering, forming 2-3 fruits per node, and up to 4 on side shoots. Thanks to its high resistance to low light conditions, the hybrid grows well even with limited light access, which is especially important for winter cultivation with supplemental lighting.

The fruits of cucumber ALTERNATIVE have a cylindrical shape, length from 18 to 20 cm, and a dark green color with short light stripes. The zucchini are large-buckled, with white spines, aromatic, with juicy and dense flesh without bitterness. The fruit mass varies from 110 to 200 grams depending on growing conditions. The taste of the fruits is excellent, making them ideal for fresh consumption. The plant has high market yield, reaching 27 kg per square meter when grown in a plastic greenhouse.

For successful cultivation indoors, it is recommended to use pots of at least 5 liters in volume to ensure sufficient substrate volume for the root system. The hybrid is resistant to a wide range of diseases, which simplifies care and increases yield stability.
