Cucumber BRAVE SOLDIER

Technical Specifications of the "Bravyy Soldat" Hybrid

For agricultural producers targeting early market entry, the "Bravyy Soldat" cucumber (originator: "Vashe Khozyaystvo") offers a balanced solution in the parthenocarpic segment. The key advantage is the rapid vegetation cycle: the onset of fruiting in under 40 days allows for harvest timing during peak demand.

Plant Architecture and Fruit Quality

The plant features a vegetative growth habit, ensuring a robust foliage canopy capable of supporting intensive fruit development without premature plant depletion. The parthenocarpic pollination type eliminates risks associated with insufficient pollinating insects or sharp temperature fluctuations in both glass greenhouses and open field environments.

• Fruit Geometry: The cucumbers reach a length of 7–9 cm with an average weight of 80 grams. The finely warted skin structure ensures an attractive market presentation and excellent transportability.
• Phytosanitary Resilience: The breeding focus is placed on protection against a broad spectrum of pathogens. The hybrid possesses built-in resistance to downy mildew (peronosporosis) and scab (olive spot).
• Protective Barrier: Genetic resistance covers aggressive threats such as powdery mildew, brown spot, and Mycosphaerella spot. This is critical for minimizing fungicide applications during the active fruiting phase.

"Bravyy Soldat" is engineered as a reliable tool for continuous production cycles. The combination of a short vegetation period and high disease resistance allows for precise harvest planning while maintaining top-tier quality standards for fresh market distribution.
