OUR MASHA

Breeding Proven by Greenhouse Conditions

The 'Nasha Masha' cucumber is the result of many years of dedicated work by the Mashtakov family of breeders. The variety has firmly established itself in the professional and amateur vegetable market as a reliable parthenocarpic hybrid specifically designed for glass greenhouses. In an era dominated by imported seeds, the work of Alexey Alexeyevich Mashtakov and his colleagues — Anna Kharlampievna, Nikolai Alexeyevich, and Liliya Ivanovna — stands as a high-quality example of traditional plant breeding.

Agrotechnical Features and Yield

This hybrid is of a vegetative type, requiring the grower's attention to proper bush formation. The main advantage of 'Nasha Masha' is its early maturity: it takes less than 40 days from germination to the first harvest. This rapid growth cycle allows producers to obtain marketable yields within the shortest possible time.

• Fruit Parameters: The fruits feature a small-tuberculate surface, a length of 9–10 cm, and reach a weight of 100 grams at harvest maturity. These are ideal specifications for both the fresh market and canning.
• Immunity: The hybrid possesses high resistance to a complex of dangerous pathogens, including downy mildew, olive spot, and powdery mildew, which significantly reduces the need for pesticide application on crops.

The reputation of this variety is built upon consistent performance in protected ground. Since it does not require insect pollination, it is highly convenient for commercial greenhouse operations where the microclimate is artificially controlled. By choosing 'Nasha Masha', the producer ensures a predictable outcome: excellent market appearance, disease resistance, and superior flavor, with fruits that maintain their firmness during transport.
