Khors

HORS is a high-yielding early hybrid cucumber of cornichon type, developed by the breeding company GREENTIME (Spain). It starts fruiting as early as day 39-41 after planting, allowing for quick harvest of fresh cucumbers. Plants are compact, with a strong root system and short internodes, promoting dense and even fruit formation. A distinctive feature of the hybrid is its determinate side branches, which stop growing after forming 2-3 fruits, simplifying plant management and care, and enabling additional yield.

HORS fruits have a dark green glossy color that remains throughout the entire vegetation period. They are firm, crisp, aromatic, with small seed cavities, measuring 12-14 cm in length and about 3 cm in diameter, weighing 100-120 grams. The cucumbers retain their flowers well after harvest, ensuring long-term storage without loss of firmness or flavor. The hybrid is versatile in use: ideal for fresh salads and canning, where the cucumbers remain crisp and firm.

HORS demonstrates high resistance to major diseases, including viruses and fungal infections, ensuring stable fruiting throughout the season. It adapts well to various growing conditions — suitable for polytunnels and glasshouses, open ground, as well as hydroponic systems. The hybrid is stress-resistant and responsive to nutrition, making it an excellent choice for year-round cultivation with both short and extended rotations.
