The Azur zucchini variety is an early-maturing hybrid with a maturation period of about 40-45 days. The plant is bushy, powerful, and leafy, capable of forming up to ten fruits simultaneously. The fruits have an elongated cylindrical shape, a greenish-white color, a length from 25 to 35 cm, and a weight from 0.7 to 1.1 kg. The flesh is white and dense, characterized by high taste and technological qualities, making this variety particularly attractive for culinary processing, jam making, and canning.
The Azur variety is distinguished by high yields, reaching 60-70 tons per hectare, and resistance to powdery mildew, as well as stress tolerance, which ensures stable fruiting under various conditions. Even when overripe, the fruit skin remains soft and easily removed, which distinguishes this variety from other zucchinis. The plant is recommended to be grown via seedlings, sowing seeds in individual cups at the end of April and transplanting into open ground after the threat of returning frosts.
For successful cultivation of the Azur zucchini, choose a sunny location with well-fertilized soil. In the first few days after planting, it is recommended to shade young plants to protect them from burns. Fertilization is carried out once per season with a complex mineral fertilizer about two weeks after transplanting into the garden. This approach ensures powerful bush development and stable fruiting throughout the summer.
