Cucumber LP-20K-35

Technical profile and genetic potential of LP-20K-35

LP-20K-35 is a parthenocarpic cucumber hybrid optimized for high-intensity fruit production. The breeding focus is on a vegetative plant type, promoting vigorous foliage and a robust root system. This specific structural unit ensures consistent nutrient supply for fruits weighing 80–100 grams under high-stress conditions.

Agronomy and Protection

A key advantage of this hybrid is its resistance to downy mildew (peronosporosis). Genetic resistance to this pathogen allows for reduced fungicide applications, which is critical when harvesting early-season produce. Fruiting begins within 40 days, positioning the hybrid as an ultra-early solution for market supply.

Fruit Structure

• Morphology: fine-tubercled surface, ensuring marketability and excellent transportability.
• Size standard: the fruit length is 9–10 cm, serving as the industry standard for pickling and fresh salad segments.
• Visual characteristics: light green hue without prominent mottling.

The hybrid is adapted for both open field and protected cultivation. Technically, LP-20K-35 is engineered to maintain productivity under fluctuating light conditions, establishing it as a tool with predictable yield output.
