Cucumbers of the Ginga variety are famous for their high yields and good immunity to the most common plants. This hybrid of German origin was entered in the State Register in 2002.

Description of the variety

The hybrid variety Ginga is parthenocarpic, that is, it does not require insects for reproduction. The plant has a female flowering type. Good immunity provides protection against olive spot and powdery mildew. You can grow Ginga in an open bed and under a film material.

Characteristics of the appearance of plants and zelents

The highly developed Ginga cucumber bush is covered with small leaves of deep green color. On long strings, stretching up to 250 centimeters, a large number of ovaries are formed, united in bunches of 2-3 pieces.

Zelentsy in this variety have a cylindrical shape and a dark green color. The skin of the cucumber is covered with small tubercles, white fluff and short light stripes. The weight of the fruit reaches 79-89 grams, and the length does not exceed 9-12 centimeters. The diameter of the vegetable is 3 centimeters.

Purpose and taste of fruits

Ginga hybrid vegetables taste good both fresh and processed. They can be used in their original form, as well as used to create blanks. Cucumbers are pickled and canned, added to salads and used to prepare various dishes.

Juicy and crispy pulp is genetically devoid of the slightest hints of bitterness. There are no voids in it, and the small size of the seeds makes them almost imperceptible. The bright cucumber flavor is one of the benefits of this variety.

Maturation

The Ginga variety is called medium early, since it takes about 45-50 days from the moment the shoots emerge to the first harvest. Usually the first harvest is taken in July. The fruiting period itself can last from 65 to 100 days.

Yield

The yield of the Ginga hybrid is very decent: about 6 kilograms per square meter. The fruits have good keeping quality and are easily transported over medium distances.

Growing and care

The Ginga variety can be grown in seedlings, or the seeds can be sown directly on the ground. However, the first method is more preferable, as it provides the grower with a large harvest. Seed planting is carried out at the end of April. It is better to place the material in individual containers in order to avoid picking in the future. Peat pots are most suitable for cucumbers, as well as cups with a depth of at least 10 centimeters.

The containers are filled with ready-made soil mixtures, characterized by nutritional value and friability. If the substrate is prepared independently, then peat, turf and vermiculite or river sand are mixed in equal proportions. To improve the characteristics, wood ash and "Nitrophoska" are immediately added to the components.

Sterilization of the soil is carried out by irrigation with manganese solution, calcining at a temperature of +125 degrees, or freezing for a couple of days. The planting material should also be sterilized, and then it will need to germinate for a couple of days in a damp cloth.

The seeds are laid out in grooves up to 4 centimeters deep. In this case, about 6 centimeters of free space should remain between the rows. Everything is covered with soil and watered with water, and the container itself is tightened with cling film, which will be removed after germination.

In order for the seedlings to develop successfully, they will need to provide a temperature from +22 to +26 degrees, watering every 4 days, loosening the soil and additional lighting. When 4-5 full-fledged leaves appear on the plants, and they themselves stretch up to 15-20 centimeters, the cucumbers can be transferred to their permanent habitat. This usually happens 25 days after sowing, from late May to early June.

Growing Ginga is not too difficult. You will need to water the cucumbers regularly, at least once a week. You should use only warmed up water, avoiding waterlogging of the soil, accompanied by rotting of the roots. When 10 full-fledged leaves are formed on the cucumbers, the frequency of watering can be increased up to 2-3 times a week. If the soil dries up, the quality of the fruit will deteriorate, and they will begin to taste bitter. During dry hot days, the frequency of irrigation increases up to once a day.

Feeding is allowed from the moment when at least 7 leaves are formed in the hybrid. The first procedure requires the use of nitrogen-containing substances - infusion of cow dung or chicken manure. When the plant blooms, it will need to be fed with a mixture of superphosphate, ammonium and potassium nitrate. At the beginning of fruiting, the culture will require potassium and phosphorus. For this purpose, it is better to feed Ginga with superphosphate. It is important that fertilization is carried out only in dry weather, with an interval of 10 days.

The bush is tied up from the moment the seventh leaf appears. Next to each specimen, a peg is buried on which a growing shoot is fixed. When the time comes to form a bush, it will be necessary to eliminate the lateral growth points near the first two leaf blades, as well as near the third and fourth nodes. No more than three shoots are left at the top of the bush.

In order to collect strong, tasty and beautiful cucumbers on your site, you need to make top dressing. Lack of nutrients can negatively affect the appearance of the plant and significantly reduce the yield. Fertilize cucumbers with organic fertilizers in combination with mineral fertilizers. With the right balance of these components and adherence to the fertilizing schedule, the cucumber yield will be maximum.

Disease and pest resistance

Despite the fact that the Ginga variety has good immunity, in case of improper care, cucumbers can develop fusarium. The culture is also frequently attacked by aphids.

Despite their popularity, cucumbers are often attacked by diseases and pests. From them, cucumber plantings often die before the start of fruiting. In order to prevent this from happening, it is necessary to try to prevent ailments or get rid of them at the very beginning, having studied in detail their causes of occurrence, signs and methods of treatment.
