Elvinara

Cucumber Elvinara F1 is an early parthenocarpic hybrid of the cornichon type, intended for cultivation in plastic and glass greenhouses. The open-type plant with short lateral shoots and a strong root system is characterized by high resilience and the ability to quickly recover after stress factors such as temperature changes and irrigation regime alterations. This hybrid sets fruit well and grows steadily even under adverse conditions, making it a reliable choice for obtaining an early harvest in the first and second crop cycles. The fruits of cucumber Elvinara F1 are large-buckled, dark green with a glossy rind and small, firm spines. They have an ideal cylindrical shape, 10-12 cm long, with a length-to-diameter ratio of approximately 2.2:3.3:1.0, without forming the characteristic 'cadette'. The flesh is dense, crisp, juicy, and slightly sweet, with a small seed cavity. Due to its qualities, the fruits retain their color and crisp texture during processing, making them an excellent choice for canning and pickling. Hybrid Elvinara F1 is characterized by high resistance to major cucumber diseases such as powdery mildew, cladosporiosis, and cucumber mosaic virus. The ripening period from transplanting to the first harvest is 38-45 days, allowing for early production with uniform yield. Cucumbers of this variety are widely used in culinary applications for preparing fresh dishes due to their excellent flavor and marketable appearance, which remains stable for a long time after harvest.
