SOCKOL — this is an early-maturing cucumber hybrid, recommended for cultivation in open ground. The plant is medium-sized, predominantly female-flowering, and has weak branching. The cucumbers are short, oval, green with short stripes, bumpy, firm, crisp, and have excellent taste. The hybrid is suitable for all types of canning, salad preparation, and fresh consumption. Sowing is conducted at the end of May — beginning of June, in rows at a depth of 1.5–2 cm with a spacing of 50 cm; after thinning, leave 3–4 plants per linear meter. Care includes regular and abundant watering, fertilization, and soil loosening. Harvesting is recommended to be done regularly, which promotes the formation of a greater number of fruits. The variety is characterized by high yield, marketability, and transportability. The plants are medium-sized and bushy. The cucumbers are cylindrical, 8–10 cm long, dense, crisp, and very aromatic. SOCKOL is resistant to cold, drought, and diseases, making it a reliable choice for various climatic conditions. Thanks to these qualities, the hybrid retains its properties well during transportation and storage. The hybrid is low-maintenance and suitable for cultivation on suburban plots, especially if regular care of the crops is not possible. The plants are determinate, 120–150 cm tall, requiring staking for better fruiting. In greenhouses, yield is significantly higher. SOCKOL provides a steady harvest, which is convenient for gradual fruit collection. This cucumber will be an excellent choice for those who value the combination of high quality, resistance, and ease of care.
