Mona

Cucumber Mona (AX-148) is an early-maturing variety suitable for cultivation both in open ground and under plastic covers. Fruits begin forming as early as the 4th-5th leaf, with multiple fruits developing at each node, ensuring high and stable yields. Cucumbers of this variety are known for their excellent taste without bitterness, resistance to yellowing, and good storability, making them ideal for fresh consumption and canning.

Plants of the Mona variety exhibit vigorous vertical growth with strong foliage and are capable of providing a steady daily yield during the fruiting period. Fruits are elongated, dark green, and covered with white spines. The variety shows high resistance to major cucumber diseases, including tobacco mosaic virus and powdery mildew, significantly reducing the risk of crop loss and the need for frequent chemical treatments.

For successful cultivation of cucumber Mona, maintaining consistent soil warmth and humidity is essential to avoid bitterness in the fruits. Sowing should be done upon the arrival of stable warm weather, with optimal spacing between plants and rows. Watering should be performed with warm water every 3-4 days, and harvesting should be conducted every 1-2 days to stimulate further fruit set and maximize yield. Seeds are packaged in mini-packs, which is convenient for small farms and hobby gardening.
