TARAPUNYKA — a fast-maturing parthenocarpic cucumber hybrid, suitable for cultivation in both plastic greenhouses and open ground. The plant is medium-height with moderate branching, female-flowering type, forming 3–5 fruits per node. Lateral branching of tendrils is limited, facilitating care and promoting high yield. The hybrid exhibits resistance to complex diseases, including powdery mildew and cladosporiosis, and tolerates temperature stress, making it a reliable choice for various climatic conditions. TARAPUNYKA fruits have dark green color, cylindrical slightly ribbed shape, and medium-bump surface. Their length ranges from 8 to 11 cm, diameter — 2–3 cm, and weight varies between 75–100 g. A distinctive feature is the white-tipped fruits. Flesh is crisp, aromatic, and sweet, and genetically free of bitterness, significantly enhancing flavor. Fruits are versatile: suitable for fresh consumption, pickling, and marination. TARAPUNYKA boasts high yield — up to 12–16 kg per square meter. For optimal quality, sow seedlings in late April, transplanting into the ground at the 3–4 true leaf stage in late May to early June. Direct sowing in the ground is also possible in May–June at optimal soil temperature 25–30°C. Recommended planting scheme — 30x70 cm. Thanks to its characteristics and ease of cultivation, this hybrid is an excellent choice for gardeners seeking tasty, healthy cucumbers with minimal effort.
