Cucumber Monolith

Monolith cucumber is an early-maturing parthenocarpic hybrid of finely ribbed cucumber developed by Nunhems B.V. This variety is characterized by high yield and adaptability to various climatic conditions, allowing successful cultivation both in open fields and under cover. Plants have medium growth vigor and an open form, facilitating harvest. Fruits are uniform, straight, dark green in color, with an optimal length-to-diameter ratio of approximately 3.1:1.0, measuring 6 to 14 cm in length and weighing 76–104 g.

Monolith cucumbers have a delicate skin and finely ribbed surface, with no bitterness, making them especially attractive for fresh consumption and processing. They are ideal for salads and pickling while retaining excellent flavor qualities. Their versatility and high productivity make this hybrid popular among gardeners.

The variety exhibits high resistance to powdery mildew and cladosporiosis, as well as moderate resistance to cucumber mosaic virus. These traits ensure reliable cultivation and stable yields under varying conditions. For optimal fruiting, full care is recommended to fully realize the potential of the Monolith hybrid.
