Cucumber Five Stars F1 is a super-high-yielding parthenocarpic hybrid with a cluster-flowering type, forming 5 to 8 cucumbers per node, and up to 12 under good care. Fruits begin ripening as early as 40-42 days after germination, allowing for an early harvest. Cucumbers are 11-13 cm long, characterized by juiciness, crisp texture, and excellent refreshing taste.
This hybrid is ideal for pickling and salting, including in wooden barrels, thanks to its flavor profile and dense fruit structure. Five Stars is resistant to most common cucumber diseases, including cladosporiosis, powdery mildew, and false powdery mildew, ensuring stable fruiting even under adverse conditions. In greenhouses, yield reaches 16-20 kg per square meter, with fruiting continuing until early October.
For cultivation, use 20-25-day-old seedlings with a planting density of 2-3 plants per square meter in greenhouses. The hybrid requires regular feeding and daily harvesting, as fruit set occurs sequentially, and timely picking ensures uninterrupted nutrient supply to developing fruits. This approach ensures maximum yield and quality of cucumbers.
