Cucumber Smile

Cucumber variety 'Smiley' is an early hybrid distinguished by high resistance to diseases such as cucumber mosaic virus, cladosporiasis, and powdery mildew. This variety is suitable for cultivation both in open ground and in plastic greenhouses, making it a versatile choice for different climatic conditions. The plant is indeterminate with weak branching, which simplifies care and harvesting.

The fruits of the 'Smiley' cucumber have an unusual shape resembling small barrels, about 5-6 cm long and with a diameter, making them especially attractive for use in salads, pickling, and canning. Thanks to its taste and market qualities, this hybrid is popular among gardeners. From germination to the start of fruiting, it takes approximately 38-42 days, allowing for an early harvest.

The average yield of this variety is about 13.1 kg per square meter, with 5-6 or more fruits forming at each node, contributing to the plant's high productivity. The parthenocarpic flowering type ensures fruit set without pollination, which is especially important for greenhouse cultivation. All these characteristics make 'Smiley' cucumber an excellent choice for those who value quality, yield, and ease of cultivation.
