Professional choice for greenhouse production: Wagner F1 by Rijk Zwaan

Dutch breeder Rijk Zwaan has long been a benchmark in the greenhouse crop segment, and the Wagner F1 hybrid is a testament to their professional breeding standards. Designed specifically for growers who prioritize consistent yields and market-ready fruit quality, this hybrid has established itself as a reliable asset in greenhouse operations.

Agronomic performance and resistance

Wagner F1 is a parthenocarpic cucumber, meaning it does not require pollination, making it an excellent choice for early season production and closed environments. Its performance is characterized by stability and high stress tolerance, which are essential for commercial-scale cultivation.

• Disease Resistance: The hybrid comes with strong genetic resistance to Cladosporium, powdery mildew, and cucumber mosaic virus. This resilience allows for a significant reduction in fungicide applications, supporting more sustainable farming practices.
• Fruit Specifications: The fruit features a deep dark-green color and a heavy-warted (large-warty) skin, which is highly sought after in the fresh market. With a length-to-diameter ratio of 3,1:1,0, the cucumbers provide a uniform, high-quality look that is ideal for packaging and long-distance logistics.

The Wagner F1 hybrid has earned a solid reputation among greenhouse owners for its predictable performance and high yields. By choosing Rijk Zwaan genetics, growers gain access to a proven technology that minimizes risk and maximizes revenue per square meter, ensuring every harvest meets the high expectations of current market standards.
