Josefino cucumber is an early-maturing parthenocarpic hybrid, maturing in 40-42 days after germination. The plant forms a balanced, open generative canopy with medium-length internodes, ensuring ease of care and harvest. This hybrid exhibits high resistance to powdery mildew, contributing to a stable and high-quality yield in open ground.
The fruits of Josefino cucumber are large, uniform, cylindrical, light green with a glossy surface. Fruit length is 10-12 cm, weight — 90-100 g. They are dense, flavorful, aromatic, and free of bitterness, making them ideal for fresh consumption and processing. During thermal treatment and canning, the fruits retain their light color and do not darken.
It is recommended to grow Josefino cucumber in open ground on trellis or in rows with a planting density of 40-45 thousand seeds per hectare, or 35-40 thousand plants per hectare when transplanting seedlings. The compact plant size and extended harvest period ensure high yield and ease of agricultural management. Seeds of this hybrid are available in packages, allowing selection of optimal volume for various cultivation scales.
