Cucumber LM-20-AC-30

Resilient performance for commercial production

For growers focusing on bee-pollinated hybrids, LM-20-AS-30 offers a robust solution for both open-field operations and glasshouses. Its genetic profile is specifically calibrated to handle high pressure from viral diseases, ensuring consistent yield cycles.

Key operational benefits

• Advanced virus resistance: By providing innate resistance to Cucumber Mosaic Virus and Downy Mildew, this hybrid significantly lowers the dependency on intensive fungicide programs, making it a sustainable choice for integrated pest management systems.
• Market-driven sizing: The ability to harvest at different stages—from 7 cm up to 12 cm—allows for versatile supply strategies. Smaller fruits serve the processing and pickling industry, while the 10-12 cm range satisfies fresh market demand for uniform, high-quality cucumbers.
• Vegetative growth management: As a plant with a strong vegetative type, it requires proactive pruning and canopy management, especially in glasshouses. Balancing leaf development with fruit set is critical to maximizing the harvest potential.

The light-green color remains a key consumer preference in many regions. As a bee-pollinated variety, it is essential to manage insecticide application windows to avoid interfering with pollinators, ensuring optimal fertilization and fruit development throughout the season.
