Cucumbers of the F1 Leaf hybrid are in demand among summer residents and farmers due to their excellent appearance, uniformity of fruits, excellent taste, as well as a long fruiting period.

Breeding history

The hybrid cucumber variety was bred in 2014 by breeders from the Rijk Zwaan company, which has been engaged in seed production and cultivation of vegetables for almost 100 years (headquartered in the province of South Holland, De Leer). At the same time, the originators of the culture applied for the admission of growing crops on the territory of the Russian Federation. After variety trials, which lasted 2 years, the F1 hybrid was introduced to Rosreestr in 2016, zoned for several Russian regions.

Description of the variety

The F1 leaf is a parthenocarpic hybrid, which means that the fruit ovary occurs without the participation of insects.

There are two options for planting seed: through seedlings, or apply a seedless option and sow them immediately in a closed greenhouse or in unprotected soil.

The yield of the hybrid will depend on how accurately and competently the cultivation conditions are followed. As for the rules, they are simple. Irrigation should be carried out only with heated liquid. Feed the hybrid with organic matter, as well as mineral compounds every 2 weeks. Weed and loosen once a week.

The optimal time for sowing cucumbers is from mid-May to early July. Planting scheme - have 3-4 seedlings or seeds per 1 m2. Seeds should be planted 1 cm. Nutritious, light and loose soil is suitable for the Dutch hybrid.

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.
