Nadyusha

Nadyusha — an ultra-early cucumber hybrid, intended for cultivation in open ground and under plastic covers. The period from germination to the start of fruiting is 37-43 days, allowing for an early harvest. The plant is medium-height with predominantly female flowering and limited lateral branching, which simplifies care and harvesting. The hybrid is highly resistant to major cucumber diseases, including false powdery mildew.

Nadyusha's fruits are cylindrical, 8-11 cm long and 60-65 g in weight. They are dark green with short light stripes, slightly bumpy with white hairs. The cucumbers have excellent texture, crisp, without bitterness, making them ideal for fresh consumption as well as pickling and marinating. The fruit length-to-thickness ratio is 3.1, ensuring uniformity and market appearance.

The Nadyusha hybrid demonstrates high yield — up to 8.5 kg per square meter. Sowing on seedlings is recommended in late April, followed by transplanting into the ground when the seedlings have 3-4 true leaves, in late May to early June. Direct sowing into the ground is also possible in May-June, with a planting scheme of 30x70 cm. Due to its characteristics and resistance, this hybrid is suitable for both commercial cultivation and personal farms.
