Sotnik

Cucumber variety SOTNIK is an early-maturing hybrid intended for cultivation in plastic greenhouses and open ground during spring and late summer-autumn periods. The period from germination to fruit harvest is 40-42 days, allowing for a quick harvest. The plant is vegetative type with a strong root system, and 1-2 fruits form at each node, contributing to high yield and stable fruiting.

The fruits of cucumber SOTNIK have a cylindrical shape, length of 10-12 cm, and weight of 100-130 grams. They are dark green, smooth, with a slightly ribbed surface and barely noticeable light stripes. A distinctive feature of this hybrid is the retention of flower buds on the fruit, especially during early ripening stages, which gives the fruits a more attractive market appearance.

The hybrid is characterized by high resistance to true powdery mildew and tolerance to root rot and olive spot, as well as downy mildew. Cucumbers are versatile: they can be eaten fresh straight from the garden, used in salads, or for various winter preparations. Due to its qualities and resistance, SOTNIK is a reliable choice for gardeners and farmers aiming to obtain a high-quality and flavorful harvest.
