Description of the varieties of cucumbers of Polish selection: Krak, Snotlika, Sremsky, Andrus and Titus
As a result of long-term selection, Polish agronomists have obtained hybrid varieties that have good resistance to external factors. One of such representatives is Andrus f1 cucumber. The immune system helps the culture withstand extreme temperature changes, which also plays an important role. Not all Polish seeds are suitable for growing in the climatic conditions of our country.
general information
Seeds supplied from Poland are initially hermetically sealed. This means that after purchase, they do not need additional processing. A person is required to land them in the ground at the right time and properly care. Coated varieties are very popular.
What are they?
The pelleted seed variety is hybrid cucumbers that undergo additional processing. As a result, they acquire the characteristics with which the culture adapts to inappropriate climatic conditions. Also, the plant easily finds nutrients, regardless of the depleted soil composition. Cucumbers fight against insect infestations and diseases.
For the procedure, small seeds are selected, since after pelleting they become large. By themselves, large seeds are selected. The pelleting procedure makes it easier to work with the planting material. During disembarkation, it is clearly visible in the garden. A bright color helps a person to navigate and do not forget to sprinkle the seeds with earth.
Cucumbers that have been pelleted in Poland do not require thinning after seedling emergence.
