Cucumber Picnic — this is an early-maturing parthenocarpic hybrid, distinguished by its steady yield and rapid maturity: from germination to ripening it takes 42-48 days. The plant is indeterminate with a female flower type, forming large cluster fruits on the main stem nodes, which allows for a high yield of small cucumbers 10-12 cm long and weighing 90-140 g. Fruits have a cylindrical shape, dark green color with stripes, short and slightly ribbed, making them attractive for both fresh consumption and canning.
The Picnic hybrid is resistant to diseases such as powdery mildew and cladosporiosis, significantly simplifying care and increasing yield reliability. The plant prefers warm conditions, adequate humidity, and fertile soils, responding well to organic and mineral fertilizers. Thanks to these characteristics, cucumber Picnic is suitable for cultivation in plastic greenhouses and under plastic coverings, ensuring a stable and high yield — up to 7-8 kg per plant or 10.9-11.7 kg per square meter.
This hybrid is especially valued for its ability to produce a large quantity of small pickling cucumbers, which are in demand both fresh and preserved. The compact fruit size and excellent taste make Picnic a universal choice for gardeners and farmers seeking an early and abundant cucumber harvest with minimal plant protection costs.
