Moreover, both a single-line and a two-line landing scheme are possible.The hybrid is not shade resistant; landing in well-lit areas is necessary.
2. Since the hybrid has a high yield and an extended fruiting period, it is necessary to regularly and fully provide it with food. Namely, to carry out treatment with complex fertilizers and growth stimulators with an interval of 7-10 days. And also alternate root and foliar top dressing.
3. Carrying out preventive examinations and sanitary cleaning of landings. As well as regular loosening of the soil between the rows and weeding of weeds.
4. Comprehensive chemical protection against a wide range of diseases and pests. The use of compatible fungicides and insecticides in tank mixtures with adhesives. The frequency of treatments is 2-3 per season.
5. Sowing seeds for seedlings in late February - early March. Depth of seeds into the soil - by 1.5-2 cm.
6. Watering seedlings with settled, warm water. Periodically sprayed with water to increase humidity.
7. Preplanting soil preparation. It is carried out in the fall or a month before transplanting. Rotted manure or chicken droppings are introduced, followed by plowing or digging the site. It is advisable to conduct soil spills from pests using insecticides such as Antichrush, Aktara, Nurell D.
8. Planting protection from drafts, especially when grown in early spring.
9. Shading of cucumbers in particularly hot summer months.
10. Providing regular, plentiful watering of plants. If necessary, mulch the plantings with organics (mowed siderates, straw) or non-woven material (agrofibre, spanbond).

Reviews of summer residents of the hybrid

1. Andrey Skantsev, 38 years old: One of the best early hybrids for business. This year I was convinced personally. I usually planted Meringue from Seminis. And this season I decided to plant a part of the greenhouse with a novelty. New to me. They advised to try Turkish Lutoyar. He grew seedlings in February, in March he already replanted them in a greenhouse. The greenhouse is heated by the way. What can I say - satisfied. Not inferior in anything to Meringue. Productivity at heights, delicious cucumbers, good commercial qualities. And they really began to ripen very early. Now I will grow constantly.
2. Ala, 28 years old: They built a greenhouse a year ago. And the first cucumbers that appeared there were just Lutoyar.
