Cucumber EMERALD 16

Emerald 16 cucumber is an early-maturing parthenocarpic hybrid with predominantly female flowering, ensuring stable and synchronized fruiting without pollination. Plants are strong-growing, medium-branched, and indeterminate, meaning they grow indefinitely with high yields of up to 12–14 kg per square meter. Compact bush structure and good tolerance to crowding make this variety suitable for cultivation both in greenhouses and open ground.

The fruits of Emerald 16 cucumber are uniform, with large bumps and white spines, cylindrical in shape, and evenly dark green coloration that does not yellow over time. The fruit length varies from 3 to 12 cm, allowing their use for pickling, cornichons, summer salads, pickles, and marinades. The flesh is dense, with a good ratio of wall thickness to seed cavity, and the taste is fresh and crisp.

Emerald 16 variety exhibits high resistance to common cucumber diseases, including cucumber mosaic virus, brown spot, and powdery mildew, and is tolerant to downy mildew, root rot, and bacterial wilt. This makes it a reliable choice for cultivation under various climatic conditions, ensuring a steady and high-quality yield even under adverse environmental conditions.
