F1 TSXA-442 is grown at the Vegetable Experimental Station named after V.I. Edelstein of MSXA. The breeders of the hybrid are employees of LLC "Seed Selection and Seed Company 'Manul'. A high-yielding, medium-maturing, parthenocarpic hybrid predominantly of female flowering type. Begins fruiting on day 52-58 after germination. Medium branching. Yield on July 1 is 26-31 kg/sq.m, during the first month of fruiting — 3-4 kg/sq.m. Under high temperatures and insufficient light, the expression of male flowers may increase. Cucumbers are 17-22 cm long, with white, complex, sparse hairs. Resistant to olive spot. Early transplanting of seedlings — from January 15-20 (3rd light zone). Due to reduced early parthenocarpy under insufficient light during early planting, it is recommended to introduce a small number of bees (2 hives per 1 ha) into the greenhouse for 3-4 weeks. This helps maintain early yield without loss of commercial quality of cucumbers.
