Nosivskyi

Nosivskyi cucumber — a high-yielding variety distinguished by excellent taste qualities both fresh and pickled. This variety belongs to pickling cucumbers, meaning it is suitable for pickling due to its small fruit size, thin skin, and dense flesh. The fruits have a slightly elongated-oval shape with well-defined ribbing and a triangular cross-section. Their length is approximately 11 cm, width about 4.4 cm, and color green with longitudinal stripes. The seeds are brown with a coarse reticulate pattern, which is a characteristic feature of this variety.

Plants of the Nosivskyi variety have a medium-late maturation period: from sowing to the beginning of fruiting, it takes 55–65 days, and full seed maturity occurs after 95–110 days. The stems reach a length of 140–200 cm, are branched, with medium-sized leaves and slightly wavy edges. The variety is distinguished by high yield — during the first decade of fruiting, yield can reach 30–50 centners per hectare, and overall yield — 350–400 centners per hectare of quality marketable fruits. Additionally, the variety is resistant to certain diseases, particularly false powdery mildew, which simplifies its cultivation.

For successful cultivation of the Nosivskyi cucumber, it is recommended to provide plants with warmth and moisture, as well as regular application of organic fertilizers approximately every two weeks. Due to its characteristics and resistance, the variety is widely used both in private households and in farming operations. Cucumbers of this variety are suitable for pickling and canning, are free from bitterness, and retain their marketable appearance even when slightly overgrown, making them universally popular and in demand in the market.
