Cucumber KAREL'S PLUS

Cucumber KAREL'S PLUS is a self-pollinating, high-yielding, short-fruiting hybrid that begins fruiting on day 43-45 after mass seedlings emergence. The young fruits are 8-10 cm long, spindle-shaped, and have a large-bumpy surface. The fruits possess high taste and commercial qualities, making them especially suitable for pickling.

The hybrid has several advantages, including cold resistance and an extended fruiting period with intensive simultaneous fruiting of several ovaries. It is resistant to temperature fluctuations and fruits well even on poor soils, which broadens its cultivation possibilities under various climatic conditions.

For planting in plastic greenhouses, the recommended density is 3 plants per 1 m². The hybrid positively responds to pollination or spraying with a borax solution (1 g per 1 liter of water) at the beginning of fruiting. In greenhouses, lateral shoots are pinched off above the 2nd-3rd leaf, and plant formation is achieved by pinching above the 3rd leaf. Care includes regular watering with warm water, and every 10 days, watering is combined with feeding with manure or urea solution, which promotes active plant growth and development.
