Meramore F1 is an innovative mid-size type Meva variety, specifically developed for high-tech cultivation in glasshouses. The plant has a well-balanced open growth form, ensuring efficient lighting and good air circulation, promoting healthy growth. Dark green fruits, 20-22 cm long, are characterized by juiciness, crisp texture, and absence of bitterness, making them ideal for fresh consumption, especially in salads. The variety exhibits high resistance to cucumber vein yellowing virus (CVYV) and cladosporiosis, as well as intermediate resistance to powdery mildew, significantly reducing disease risk in intensive cultivation.
This cucumber variety is intended for intensive cultivation systems, including the use of high trellises with supplemental lighting, enabling stable and high yields. Meramore F1 requires warmth, fertile soil, and regular watering, considering its shallow root system and moisture-loving nature. For optimal plant development, elevated CO2 levels and protection from cold winds are necessary. Seeds should be sown after soil warming to 10-12°C, at a depth of 3-4 cm, with plant density established at the 1-2 leaf stage.
Growing Meramore cucumber requires adherence to agronomic practices, including soil preparation with organic and mineral fertilizers, which enhances fertility and increases yield. Seeds are recommended to be pre-warmed and soaked for improved germination. The plant tolerates slight shade and is pollinated by bees and hoverflies, which should be considered when organizing greenhouse production. Thanks to its flavor, disease resistance, and adaptability to modern cultivation technologies, Meramore F1 is an excellent choice for obtaining high-quality and delicious yields.
