When choosing a variety or hybrid for planting, gardeners and gardeners prefer vegetables with early ripening. After long winter colds, I want to quickly start to feast on fresh, vitamin cucumbers. And especially for the most impatient breeders, they brought out the Khutorok F1 hybrid. In just a month, he will generously begin to give gardeners delicious, crunchy, and most importantly - early greenery.

Characteristics and features of the hybrid

“Khutorok F1” is a bee-pollinated hybrid of cucumber. It has a very early ripening period. From seedling seedlings to the beginning of fruit ripening, 30 days pass. The hybrid is characterized by flowers of a predominantly female type. The plant has a high energy of growth. But the bush itself produces a small number of lashes, slightly leafy. The leaves are dark green, slightly pubescent, medium in size.

The fruits of the hybrid are homogeneous, aligned, elongated-cylindrical in shape. They are small in size, the diameter of the cucumbers is 3.5-4.0 cm, and the length is 10-12 cm. Weight in the vegetable season, according to average data from the results of the samples, is 80-100 gr.

The skin is strong, elastic, absolutely without bitterness. It is small tuberous, the tubercles themselves are rare, with small black spines. Resistant to mechanical damage. It is saturated green in color, with short, lighter stripes on the sides of the cucumbers. The pulp is dense, but juicy, with a pronounced cucumber flavor. Zelentsy really tasty, pleasantly crispy. It has a fairly high yield. From one plant with good agricultural technology, you can get 4.0-5.5 kg of fruits.

Hybrid breeders grafted high resistance to major diseases and pests of cucumbers. In particular, to root rot, as well as to false and powdery mildew. Hybrid “Khutorok F1” is characterized by universal fruits. It is suitable for cultivation in the open ground, and also under film temporary shelters.

The secrets of successfully growing a hybrid

1. When growing under temporary film shelters, it is necessary to provide full access to pollinating insect plants (bees, bumblebees).
2. Recommended hybrid planting scheme: 40x40 cm or 3-4 plants per 1 square. m
3. Possibility of growing cucumbers even on a well-lit balcony or loggia.
4. Maintaining a high agricultural background, regular sanitary cleaning of landings and preventive examinations.
5. Pre-planting tillage, including weeding, digging, applying organic fertilizers (rotted manure up to 10 kg per 1 sq. M. Or chicken droppings, with a dosage of 3-4 times less). As well as spilling the soil with insecticides from soil pests before planting.
6. Crop rotation, planting with companion plants.
7. Conducting regular fertilizing with complex fertilizers, depending on the phase of development of cucumbers. At the beginning of growth, during the growth of the vegetative mass, a lot of nitrogen is required, during the formation of the root plants - phosphorus, and when the fruits are poured - potassium.
8. The alternation of both leaf treatments and top dressing directly under the root.
9. Planting plants in places well-lit by the sun, but during peak heat shade of plantings is necessary.
10. Regular spraying with water to increase the overall moisture level.
11. Conducting 2-3 treatments per season from pests and diseases. It will be advisable to use both chemical plant protection products and biological products.
12. When using different chemicals in the same tank mixture, make sure that they are compatible. First of all, there should be no sediment at the bottom of the tank.
13. The use of surfactants (adhesives) along with fertilizers and chemicals in the processing of cucumbers on the sheet. This will ensure the economy of drugs and their better absorption by the plant.

Reviews of summer residents of the hybrid

1. Ekaterina Fedorovna, 38 years old: Oh, and these wonderful cucumbers! I bought a bundle of Khutorka somehow. In May, she planted directly in the open ground, then she covered her with a spanbond before germination. A month later, they were not deceived, the greenhouses began to ripen. I noticed right away - it is not enough. But the cucumbers then swarmed the sea! Strong, pretty, small in size. And what delicious and crispy, just super. And the whole bottle can be rolled, and fermented in a barrel. And in salads they are indispensable. What is still very good - peel of cucumbers without bitterness.
2. Alla Kurenkova, 41 years old: Really very early. I bought Khutorok primarily because of this. Let, I think, check the manufacturer. And imagine - did not disappoint. Cucumbers are great. The variety is fruitful, tasty, beautiful. Plus unproblematic and resistant to all kinds of troubles in the weather.
