Description
The bunch splendor f1 is an early ripe hybrid species of cucumbers, which breeders bred during the crossing of two varieties. The growing season lasts 45-50 days. Due to the characteristics of the parent plants, the cucumber received a high yield. With proper care, the yield of the hybrid exceeds 40 kg of cucumbers from 1 sq. m. beds.
Gherkin refers to parthenocarpic cucumber varietiesthat do not need insect pollination. The type of flowers is female. The ovaries are formed in bundles: in one bundle of 3–7 fruits. Due to this density of the ovaries, the fruits are like a brush. The shape of the fruit is cylindrical with a narrowed apex. The light green surface of the cucumber is covered with shallow tubercles and white short thorns. Coloring from the tapered end to the peduncle is diluted with white stripes. The length of the zelents is 10-11 cm.
The flesh of the cucumbers is dense, crunchy with a sweetish aftertaste. The crunch is inherent not only for fresh fruits, but also for canned ones. Due to the fact that the hybrid variety was invented at a company located in the northern part of the country, the bushes are tolerant to low temperatures. The cucumber variety is intended for growing in open ground, in greenhouses, film greenhouses.
Advantages and disadvantages

- resistance to low temperatures;
- tolerance to sudden changes in weather;
- the presence of immunity to cucumber mosaic, brown spot, powdery mildew;
- long-term fruiting;
- high productivity;
- the possibility of growing in regions with frequent fogs;
The disadvantages of cucumbers of hybrid origin include the inability to harvest planting material on their own and the high cost of purchased seeds.
Growing features
To protect cucumbers of the super-beam variety from diseases, on the eve of planting, the seeds are treated in disinfectant solutions that are prepared from water, potassium permanganate or salt. Pathogenic organisms die after 20–30 minutes of the planting material being in such a bath.
Gardeners who want to speed up fruiting as much as possible, germinate seeds:
- A piece of wet fabric is laid out on a plate, the planting material is poured on top and covered with a second piece of fabric.
- The container with cucumber seeds is inserted into a thin plastic bag and placed on the window.
Seeds germinate on days 2–3 if the temperature was at +27 ⁰С.
How to grow seedlings?
The seeds are sown in peat pots or plastic cups filled with a loose moist substrate. Since cucumbers react painfully to transplants, it is highly undesirable to sow planting material in one large container.
Cucumber Care The f1 sheaf splendor consists of watering and spraying. Seedlings are planted by transferring after 2-3 true leaves have formed. The interval between plants is 40–50 cm. The ideal time for planting is evening hours or a cloudy rainy day.
Care
It is known that the yield of cucumbers directly depends on the conditions provided. For normal development, a hybrid plant needs:
- Watering. Due to the weak superficial root system, gherkin-type cucumbers are very demanding on moisture. The first watering is carried out the day before planting seedlings or before sowing seeds. In the future, the frequency of watering cucumbers should be such that the soil in the garden bed is moderately moist. To avoid the appearance of fungal diseases, cucumbers are watered with slightly warm water, the temperature of which is not less than +10 10С.
- Top dressing. Fertilize the soil for planting cucumbers Bunch splendor in autumn or spring. Compost and mineral fertilizers are used as nutrients. Consumption per 1 sq. m beds - 10-15 kg of organic matter and 30-40 g of the mixture. To increase the number of ovaries, cucumbers are fed 1 time in half a month with mineral solutions or 2 times with organic fertilizers. To increase the efficiency of top dressing, foliar dressings are also carried out together with root dressings.
- Garter and shaping. According to the practical experience of many gardeners, cucumbers growing in a vertical direction bear fruit more abundantly than those that spread along the ground. As soon as the cucumber stems grow a little, a trellis of two posts and a coarse mesh is installed along the row. Bushes form into one stem. To do this, pinch off 4 lower processes and ovaries, and then, as they grow, remove the extra stems.
Harvesting
The bundle splendor variety has the peculiarity of tying new fruits in those sinuses where there were already cucumbers, for which the hybrid is referred to as premium crops. Therefore, in order to give the plant the opportunity to show this feature, the greens must be collected at least once every 2 days.
