Cucumber Arshin

Reliable Yields in Any Environment

The «Arshin» cucumber from the Manul brand is designed for growers who prioritize consistency and performance. Developed by breeders Alexander Borisov, Maria Panova, and Vladislav Skachko, this parthenocarpic hybrid is engineered to thrive in both protected glass greenhouses and open-field conditions. Its key characteristic is a strongly expressed generative plant type: this means the plant directs the majority of its biological energy into fruit production rather than excessive vegetative growth, ensuring high commercial output.

Advanced Disease Resistance

One of the primary challenges in cucumber cultivation is susceptibility to common pathogens. «Arshin» distinguishes itself with robust genetic resistance to root rot, cladosporiosis, and powdery mildew. This built-in protection allows farmers to significantly reduce their dependency on fungicides. Furthermore, its resistance to various viral mosaics makes it a safer, more predictable option for regions facing high disease pressure.

Product Specifications

• Fruit Length: 9–10 cm — an ideal size for pickling and fresh consumption.
• Appearance: Deep green color with a neat, small-tuber surface.
• Pollination: Parthenocarpic (no pollinators required).

This hybrid is optimal for professional greenhouse operations and gardeners who appreciate efficiency. While its generative nature requires careful pruning and plant management, the trade-off is a uniform and steady harvest. If you are looking for a reliable, hard-working variety that remains resilient during unpredictable summers or intensive cultivation cycles, «Arshin» provides a solid foundation for your horticultural strategy.
