Cucumber Break

Cucumber Break F1 is a high-yielding crop with early ripening of fruits. Due to parthenocarpic properties, the plant in most cases is intended for cultivation in a film shelter and in polycarbonate greenhouses. Unlike other early hybrids, Break F1 cucumber is used not only for fresh consumption, but also for conservation, while maintaining a dense structure and a supply of trace elements.

Cucumber Break F1 is the result of long-term selection work of agricultural practitioners of the Russian agricultural holding "Gavrish". The greatest contribution to the selection of genetic material was made by the workers S. F. Gavrish, V. V. Shevelev, A. E. Portyankin, A. V. Shamshin. The year of completion of the selection work is considered to be 2002. At this time, the newly created hybrid variety has passed the state registration and entered the free retail sale. An unpretentious high-yielding crop quickly gained popularity in regions with different climatic conditions, and the main advantage of the harvested crop is its versatility.

Advantages:

• the formation of a large number of fruits;

• high commodity performance;

• simultaneous ripening of zelents;

• high percentage of germination;

• ease of cultivation;

• preservation of a dense structure during conservation;

• resistance to most diseases.

Disadvantages:

• intolerance to cold air currents;

• the impossibility of self-collection of seed;

• exactingness to weather conditions and soil nutrition.

Parthenocarpic cucumber is a tall female flowering crop with a central stem height of more than 3.5 meters. Vigorous stems have moderate branching with sparse foliage. On the shoots of an indeterminate plant, small leaf plates of a rich green glossy shade with transparent vessels are formed. A distinctive feature of the leaves is the presence of irregularly serrated edges. The central vertical trunk is capable of forming from 2 to 4 zelents, but the branches - more than 7 ovaries.

The average length of a ripe fruit is about 11 cm, and a diameter of 3.5 cm. The mass of ripe greens is on average 90 grams. Narrow-cylindrical gherkins have a dense leathery cover and a rich green tint with light stripes. The entire surface of the fruit is covered with bumps and white thorns.

Break F1 cucumbers belong to crops with excellent taste. Gherkins are juicy and dense without hollow sinuses. The sweetish taste has sour notes. The early harvest has a universal purpose and is intended not only for fresh consumption, but also for the preparation of winter preparations and marinades. The rich vitamin and microbiological composition makes fruits indispensable in cosmetological manipulations.

A high-yielding hybrid belongs to early crops, in which the formation of the first greens occurs already 40 days after germination.

An unpretentious crop has a high yield percentage. From a plot of 1 m2, an average of 15-17 kg of early fruits can be harvested.

To obtain healthy and strong bushes, breeders recommend planting a tall plant according to the scheme. The standard planting pattern is 50 cm by 50 cm.

Despite the unpretentiousness of the Break F1 cucumber, experienced farmers recommend observing the established rules and agrotechnical principles when growing it. To obtain an early harvest, plants must be planted in areas with fertile soil enriched with micronutrients. The hybrid feels most comfortable on black earth, sandy loam and loamy soils. The chosen place must be absolutely sunny and protected from cold air currents.

Planting seed for seedlings must be carried out in the first decade of April. It is possible to transplant seedlings into the soil only in the first decade of May. The culture feels most comfortable at a soil temperature of at least 15 degrees and an air temperature of 20 degrees Celsius. If the soil in the selected area does not contain a sufficient amount of nutrients, then peat, sand, rotted sawdust and sod should be added to it.

When planting, it is strictly forbidden to bury the treated seeds, the optimum depth is 15 mm. It is possible to increase the number of seedlings by creating a greenhouse effect. Transplanting seedlings to a permanent place of growth should be carried out in the phase of formation of 4 leaves. The planted plants must be watered, the root zone should be mulched and protected from direct sunlight.

In the process of cultivation, the culture does not need special care. Green spaces need only regular watering, loosening, feeding and removing weeds. The plant does not need to form a bush, but a tall variety requires a garter to a vertical central support.

Before choosing this variety of cucumbers, special attention should be paid to its immune response to the most common types of diseases. The plant is not susceptible to diseases such as root rot, powdery mildew and downy mildew, but green spaces can be affected by rust, blackleg and whitefly.
