Cucumber varieties that are unpretentious in care, adapt to any weather conditions and at the same time are high-yielding, are in special demand among summer residents. Cucumber Strong is one of these varieties.

Breeding history

The culture belongs to hybrids and has a universal purpose. The year of admission to use is 2006. The authors were V. P. Kushnereva, I. B. Korotseva, L. A. Kochetkova and N. N. Korganova. The originators declared that the culture manifests itself best in the open field.

Description of the variety

Determinate bushes, small. Scourges are formed in short and medium lengths. Branching is inactive. Leaves are medium in size, small, five-lobed, their color is dark green.

The buds are formed in a bundle type, 5-7 pieces each. Peduncles are bright yellow, predominantly female. Additional pollination by bees is required. Therefore, many gardeners recommend putting small insect baits.

Characteristics of the appearance of plants and zelents

The fruits are short, oval in shape. The average length is 9-14 cm. The mass of zelents is 75-100 g. The rind is deep green, with stripes of medium length and a slight spotting. The surface is lumpy. The tubercles are located in medium density from each other. The thorns are small and they are all white.

The pulp is juicy, crispy and without voids. There are few seeds inside, or they are completely absent.

Fruits are stored after harvesting for up to 2 weeks in a cool and dry place. In the refrigerator, the shelf life can be increased up to 2.5 weeks.

Purpose and taste of fruits

Gardeners note that the Krepysh cucumber has a good taste. Bitterness appears only if the fruits are left to ripen on a branch, or have not been removed in time. The peculiarity of this variety is that the fruits are prone to excessive overgrowth and yellowing.

The vegetable is of the table type. Cucumbers can be eaten fresh, prepared salads and added to hot dishes.

Maturation

Cucumber Strong is an early crop. Full ripening occurs in 42-45 days from the moment of seed germination.

Yield

The variety belongs to high-yielding crops. From 1 m2 remove from 4-5 kg. The minimum yield on an industrial scale is 85-95 centners per hectare, and the average yield is 194-292 centners per hectare.

Growing regions

The highest yields are observed in the Central Region and the Central Black Earth Region.

Landing scheme

It is best to plant seedlings according to the 50x50 cm scheme. This arrangement will help the bushes not to intertwine with each other, and will also facilitate harvesting.

Growing and care

Most often, Krepysh's seeds are planted directly into the ground. This is done in May-June. But a lot will depend on the weather conditions and the growing region.

The site is prepared in advance. You should choose a sunny place with a little partial shade (this is necessary so that the leaves of the bushes do not burn during the active hours of the sun).

The uniqueness of the variety is that the type of soil is not important to it. But still, summer residents recommend picking up loose and slightly acidic soil.

When digging up a site, humus, nitroammofosk, as well as a complex of minerals that will contain nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus should be added.

Immediately before sowing, the selected pits are best disinfected with a weak solution of potassium permanganate. This is necessary in order to protect the future bush from fungal diseases or pests.

The seeds need to be prepared. They are soaked in warm water with moss or in cotton wool. Most often, manufacturers already treat all seeds with special solutions, so you must first read the information on the label.If there was no treatment, then the material can be soaked in potassium permanganate.

Culture care consists in:

  • watering;

  • garter and bush formation;

  • top dressing;

  • hilling;

  • mulching.

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

Cucumber Krepysh, according to manufacturers, is resistant to a number of fungal diseases. But with the wrong care, the culture can suffer from the following infections.

  • Root rot. A fungal disease that appears due to the fact that the soil does not dry out between waterings, and there is no gradual outflow of water. The roots become thinner, the stem does not receive the necessary minerals and begins to dry out and turn yellow. If this happens at the time of fruiting, then it completely stops. Treatment of the disease is carried out only in the early stages with the help of copper sulfate or ash.

  • Aphid. A pest that is located on the back of the sheet. Aphids suck the juice out of the bush, so the leaves curl and then dry out. Fruiting gradually decreases.

  • Spider mite. It is located on the leaves and feeds on their juice. Weaves a web on the bushes, so it is easier to notice than aphids. It gets on bushes most often due to the wind or when there is a large accumulation of weeds next to the bushes. As a preventive measure, it is best to check the bushes each time and remove the grass nearby. If the parasite was found, the plant should be immediately sprayed with Fitoverm or soapy water.

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.
