Cucumber KAMILLA

Consistent Yield in Glasshouses and Open Fields

The «Kamilla» cucumber, developed by Gavrish and VNIISSOK, stands out as a robust parthenocarpic hybrid designed for professional agricultural use. Its primary advantage is its generative growth habit, which focuses plant energy on fruit production rather than excessive foliage, allowing for a concentrated and high-quality yield.

Resilience and Cultivation

One of the defining features of this variety is its impressive resistance to pathogens, specifically root rots and downy mildew (peronospora). By minimizing the need for frequent fungicide applications, «Kamilla» helps producers reduce operational costs and maintain a cleaner harvest. The plant demonstrates high versatility, performing well in both climate-controlled glasshouses and open-field conditions.

• Growth Type: Generative, which rewards precision in nutrition and crop management.
• Pollination: Parthenocarpic, eliminating the need for pollinators in greenhouses.
• Fruit Quality: Smooth, vibrant green cucumbers, 7–9 cm in length. The smooth skin makes them ideal for the fresh market.

Who should choose this variety?

«Kamilla» is intended for commercial growers who prioritize predictability and disease resistance. Because of its generative nature, it requires diligent harvesting schedules and balanced nutrient management to reach its full potential. It is particularly valuable for those combatting powdery mildew, cladosporium, and various rots, as its genetic profile provides a significant defensive advantage over similar varieties in the class.
