Pijon

Pijon cucumber is an early-maturing, bee-pollinated hybrid with a period from emergence of seedlings to fruiting of 40-45 days. The plant is strong-growing, predominantly female-flowering, and has moderate branching ability. The hybrid is suitable for cultivation both in open ground and under temporary film coverings, allowing adaptation to various cultivation conditions.

The fruits of the Pijon cucumber are 8 to 13 cm long, green with white stripes or spots, bumpy, and covered with white spines. The weight of a single fruit is about 90-100 g. The cucumbers are characterized by high taste qualities, lack bitterness, and are versatile in use, making them suitable for fresh consumption and preservation.

The hybrid is resistant to major diseases such as olive spot and bacterial diseases, and also tolerates unfavorable growing conditions well. The plants have high yields — from one plant you can obtain 4-5 kg of fruit at a planting density of 4-5 plants per square meter. These characteristics make the Pijon cucumber an excellent choice for gardeners seeking an early and high-quality harvest.
