Cucumber FAVORITE SON

Cucumber "Favorite Son" is an early, high-yielding parthenocarpic hybrid with a female flowering type, which does not require pollination. From germination to maturity, it takes 42 to 48 days, allowing for a quick harvest. The plant has medium branching with green leaves, suitable for cultivation in open ground, plastic coverings, and glass greenhouses. This hybrid is characterized by a prolonged fruiting period and high fruit quality.

The fruits of this cucumber have an oval-cylindrical shape with large bumps and a vibrant green color. The length of the fruits varies from 7.5 to 12 cm, and the weight is approximately 80-100 grams. The fruit skin is hairy with whitish stripes and spines, and the flesh is dense and free of bitter taste, making them an excellent choice for fresh consumption, pickling, and canning. Several dense and attractive fruits form at each node.

The "Favorite Son" hybrid exhibits high resistance to major cucumber diseases, including cucumber mosaic virus, true and false powdery mildew, and olive spot. Due to these qualities and excellent taste characteristics, this variety is among the best for cultivation both in greenhouses and open ground, especially valued for its high yield and stable fruiting.
