Cucumber LP-20-13-15 is an early-maturing hybrid with predominantly female flowering, characterized by high yield and prolonged fruiting period. From germination to the start of harvest, it takes 35 to 50 days, depending on growing conditions. The fruits are cylindrical or elongated-fusiform, 8 to 12 cm long and 70 to 110 g in weight. The fruits are small-warty, green, juicy, crisp, and free of bitterness, making them ideal for fresh consumption, pickling, and marinating, without hollows or yellowing at maturity.
The hybrid is resistant to diseases and suitable for cultivation in both open and protected ground. For optimal growth, seeds should be sown directly into the soil or as seedlings at 20-30 days of age. In open ground, planting density is 4-5 plants per square meter, while in greenhouses it is 2-3 plants per square meter. In greenhouses, plants are trellised and trained as single stems, with side shoots pinched above the 2-3rd leaf. Regular watering, weeding, loosening, and fertilizing are required for successful cultivation, and fruits should be harvested every 2-3 days.
