Cucumber Primero F1 — this is a new parthenocarpic hybrid intended for cultivation both in open and protected ground. The plant features a strong semi-bushy type and high stability, ensuring the formation of 3–5 uniform and evenly spaced fruits at each node. Fruits have a rich green color, length of 10–12 cm, and are free of cavities, with small seeds inside. Due to these characteristics, Primero F1 cucumbers are suitable for both fresh consumption and canning, making them a versatile choice for various purposes.

One of the key advantages of this hybrid is its parthenocarpic type, which allows fruit formation without insect pollination. This ensures nearly 100% fruit set and resistance to adverse external conditions, as well as enables cultivation in greenhouses without the need for pollinators. Additionally, the hybrid exhibits resistance to viral and fungal diseases such as cucumber mosaic virus and cucumber yellowing virus, significantly enhancing crop reliability and quality.

Primero F1 is distinguished by high yield with a prolonged fruiting period, which is especially valuable for commercial cultivation. Seeds are supplied in packages of 250 pieces and are recommended for sowing in pots, followed by transplanting seedlings to their permanent location before flowering. This cultivation approach promotes the development of healthy and robust plants capable of delivering a stable and abundant harvest throughout the season.
