Cucumber SV 3817 CV

Technological Precision of the SV 3817 CV Hybrid

The SV 3817 CV cucumber, a breeding breakthrough from Monsanto (Seminis), serves as a high-tech tool for intensive vegetable production. The plant's primary architectural feature is its distinctly generative development type. This focus ensures that the plant's metabolic energy is directed toward fruit setting rather than excessive vegetative growth, which is critical for maintaining short crop rotation cycles.

Adaptability and Robust Defense

An engineering approach to the plant’s immune system has resulted in high resistance to a complex of pathogens that typically limit greenhouse yields. Genetic protection against Cucumber Mosaic Virus (CMV), combined with tolerance to cladosporiosis and powdery mildew, minimizes production loss risks. For producers, this results in reduced pesticide requirements and highly predictable harvest volumes.

Production Specifications

• Timing: The ultra-early maturity (under 40 days from sprouting) allows for a rapid return on investment in greenhouse infrastructure.
• Fruit Morphology: Medium-warty cucumbers, 10–12 cm in length and weighing 80–100 grams, offer perfect geometry for retail packaging.
• Versatility: The parthenocarpic pollination type ensures fruit set even under suboptimal light conditions, making this hybrid suitable for glasshouses, high tunnels, and open-field cultivation.

Choosing SV 3817 CV means investing in the optimal balance between early maturity, viral resistance, and stable yields of high-quality produce that meets modern market standards.
