Cucumber Lel is a parthenocarpic hybrid designed for cultivation in greenhouses during winter-spring and spring-summer periods. This early-maturing variety begins to ripen as early as 56-58 days after emergence of full seedlings, enabling a quick harvest. The plant features medium branching and indeterminate growth, along with a female flowering type, which contributes to high-quality fruit formation.
Cucumber Lel fruits weigh between 50 to 80 grams and measure 10 to 12.5 centimeters in length. They are short, large-ribbed, with frequent bumps and covered with white hairs. A distinctive feature of this hybrid is genetically fixed bitterness-free fruit, making them especially delicious. This trait allows the cucumbers to be used both for fresh consumption and for preservation.
Thanks to its qualities and adaptation to greenhouse conditions, cucumber Lel is an excellent choice for those aiming to obtain a stable and tasty harvest during winter-spring and spring-summer seasons. The medium-branched, indeterminate plant with female flowering ensures fruiting at nodes, typically producing two fruits, which increases overall crop productivity.
