L-153 is a parthenocarpic hybrid of cucumber of cornichon type, intended for cultivation in greenhouse conditions and for fresh market sales. The plant features strong growth, compact and open form with short internodes, facilitating care and allowing efficient space utilization. The hybrid forms 2-4 fruits per axil, 10-14 cm long, cylindrical in shape with dense structure. Fruits have a bright green or light green glossy color with a large-bump surface, retained even under extreme cultivation conditions. Small seed cavity and high taste appeal make these cucumbers especially valuable for consumers.
Hybrid L-153 is characterized by high yield and early mass fruiting, making it suitable for early spring, spring, and autumn crops, as well as for the second crop of extended season. The plant exhibits good regeneration after damage and resistance to major cucumber diseases, including powdery mildew, viruses, and other common pathogens. These qualities make the hybrid low-maintenance and a reliable choice for farmers and gardeners.
L-153 seeds are prepared for sowing and are typically planted in trays or cups for seedlings, then transplanted to their permanent location before flowering. The plant reaches a height of 80-100 cm, with lateral shoots ceasing growth, simplifying care and harvest. Cucumbers of this hybrid exhibit good transportability, preserving their freshness and attractive appearance during transport and market sales.
