IJORETS

IJORETS — ultra-early hybrid cucumber, intended for cultivation in spring plastic greenhouses and under simple coverings. The plant has limited lateral branching and does not require pruning, which simplifies care and increases ease of cultivation. The hybrid is prone to parthenocarpy, ensuring stable fruiting without pollination. Sowing seeds or transplanting seedlings is carried out in the second half of May, with seedlings aged 20-25 days recommended, planted at 60 cm between rows and 35-40 cm between plants. The plant responds well to organic and mineral fertilizers, as well as microelements, which contributes to increased yield.

IJORETS fruits have a short cylindrical shape, green color with short streaks, medium bumps, and sparse white hairs. Fruit weight ranges from 90 to 130 grams. The cucumbers have good flavor when fresh and excellent taste qualities for preservation and pickling. The hybrid is versatile in use: suitable for fresh consumption as well as all types of preservation, including pickling and marination.

IJORETS features high commercial yield, reaching 14.5 kg per square meter, and resistance to diseases such as cladosporiosis and powdery mildew. Due to these qualities and adaptability to various climatic conditions, the hybrid is recommended for cultivation in different regions, including Northern, Northwestern, Central, Volga-Vyatka, Central Chernozem, North Caucasus, and Middle Volga regions.
