The zucchini 'Cazanova' F1 is an early-maturing hybrid that reaches technical maturity approximately 45 days after seedling emergence. The plants are semi-vining, highly drought-resistant, but cannot tolerate waterlogged soil. The fruits are cylindrical with a smooth surface, light green in color, and have medium-sized white spots. They are long, medium diameter, and weigh between 0.8 and 1.6 kg. The flesh is creamy, dense, and has an excellent delicate taste, making this variety particularly attractive to consumers.
The fruits of the 'Cazanova' zucchini retain their market qualities for a long time and do not become oversized, which allows for regular harvest collection with an interval of 2-3 days. The yield of marketable fruits exceeds 10 kg per square meter, indicating the high productivity of the variety. For cultivation, it is recommended to use light, fertile soils with a low groundwater level, avoiding acidic soils and waterlogging. The best predecessors for planting are early vegetables such as onions, root crops, tomatoes, and potatoes.
Agrotechnology includes site preparation with digging and fertilizing with organic and mineral fertilizers, as well as ash and liming if necessary. Sowing seeds is conducted in late May - early June after the threat of spring frosts, planting 2-3 seeds in a hole with a distance of no less than 60 cm between them. After seedling emergence, weak plants are removed. Growing through seedlings is also possible, which are sown in early May and transplanted to open ground in early June at the 2-4 leaf stage. Care for plants includes regular watering, loosening, hilling, and feeding, which contributes to obtaining a high and quality harvest.
