The LIHACH F1 cucumber is an early self-pollinating hybrid with a clustered ovary and female flower type, beginning to bear fruit as early as the 45th day after germination. The plant is climbing and moderately branched, which promotes the formation of a large number of fruits in leaf axils — from 5 to 10 or more cucumbers. The cucumbers have an elongated-cylindrical shape with a rounded tip, slightly ribbed, covered with small bumps and short light stripes. The fruit's hairs are white, each cucumber weighs 80–100 grams, and the optimal length for harvesting is 11–12 cm. The cucumbers do not overgrow excessively and maintain high taste and market qualities.
The flesh of the fruits is juicy, dense, crisp, and sweet, with a distinct aroma, free from voids and bitterness. LIHACH cucumbers are excellent for fresh consumption, pickling, and preservation. The hybrid exhibits high resistance to a range of diseases, including olive spot, cucumber mosaic, true and false powdery mildew, yellow mosaic virus, as well as temperature fluctuations. Thanks to these qualities, this variety is popular among gardeners and suitable for cultivation under temporary film coverings, greenhouse and polycarbonate greenhouses.
The yield of LIHACH cucumber exceeds 14 kg per square meter at a planting density of about 3 plants per m². To achieve abundant yields and strengthen plant immunity, it is recommended to provide adequate care for the crop. High marketability and excellent taste characteristics make this hybrid one of the most sought-after among gardeners.
