Kolombo

Colombo is an early-maturing parthenocarpic cucumber hybrid of the cornichon type, intended for cultivation from early spring to late autumn. This variety features a short vegetative period, ranging from 33 to 38 days, enabling harvest within a tightly compressed timeframe. The plant is suitable for all-season cultivation, both in open and protected ground, demonstrating high adaptability and resistance to various growing conditions. Seeds are recommended to be sown in cups or trays for seedlings, with transplanting to the permanent location occurring at the onset of flowering, promoting rapid development and formation of a robust root system.

Colombo fruits have a dark green color and cylindrical shape with a neatly rounded tip. They are medium-ribbed, firm, void of cavities, and contain small underdeveloped seeds, making them particularly flavorful and aromatic. The average yield of this hybrid exceeds 20 kg per square meter, indicating high productivity of the variety. The plant is vegetative-generative in type, ensuring balanced development and fruiting.

The hybrid exhibits high resistance to viral and fungal diseases such as powdery mildew and cucumber mosaic virus, significantly reducing the risk of yield loss. Due to its adaptability and resilience, Colombo consistently delivers good results even under minimal agronomic practices. Production of this hybrid takes place in Italy, ensuring high seed quality and compliance with modern selection standards.
