ZASTOLNY

Consistent Yields for Pickling and Fresh Markets

The 'Zastolny' cucumber from the manufacturer Ooo Hardvik is a classic bee-pollinated hybrid aimed at farmers who prioritize proven genetics. Developed by specialists at 'Vashe Khozyaystvo' under the guidance of Andrey Vasilyevich Kudryashov, this hybrid ensures full compliance with its technical specifications.

Key Features and Cultivation

The primary trait of 'Zastolny' is its generative development type. The plant directs its energy primarily toward fruit production rather than excessive vegetative growth, which simplifies pruning and maintenance. With a ripening period of 40–45 days, it allows for early-to-mid season harvesting.

• Fruit Dimensions: Cucumbers grow to 10–12 cm, making them the perfect size for canning. The weight of a single fruit ranges from 80 to 110 grams.
• Appearance: The small-warted surface provides an attractive market appearance, while the dense structure ensures good shelf life and transportability.
• Immunity: The hybrid shows high resistance to downy mildew and effective resistance to powdery mildew, which is critical for obtaining a clean harvest without excessive chemical applications.

Who Is This Variety For?

This cucumber is an optimal choice for open fields and greenhouses accessible to pollinating insects. Due to its combination of disease resistance and predictable productivity, 'Zastolny' is a reliable tool for both small private farms and commercial growers. The main advantage of this hybrid is stability: predictable fruit sizes make sorting and packaging for market sale much easier, while its excellent flavor profile for pickling ensures strong demand from consumers.
