The hybrid has good yields. From one square meter, you can get up to 10 kilograms of zelents. The marketability of the hybrid reaches 98%, so it is grown not only for their own needs, but also for sale. Suitable for growing in greenhouse conditions, in open spaces.

Growing regions

Taking into account all varietal characteristics, it can be argued that cucumber is easily cultivated in the Urals, in the southern regions, in the central territory of the Russian Federation, in the North-West region.

Landing scheme

It is necessary to plant hybrids according to the following scheme: in a checkerboard pattern, observing the distance between the bushes of 70 centimeters. Therefore, you can plant up to 3 plants per square meter.

Planting is simple:

  • we dig a small hole with a spatula;
  • we place a seedling in it;
  • lightly powder with soil;
  • ram the soil;
  • watering.

Growing and caring

The vegetable is not whimsical to growing conditions. But it is necessary to adhere to certain agricultural techniques.

  • It is better to water the vegetable in the evening or morning. We use warm, settled water.
  • In the height of summer, it is recommended to water 1-2 times. If the temperature is low, and the weather is not sunny, then water it once every two days.
  • After the liquid has been absorbed, the bed should be loosened.
  • In order to avoid excessive dampness, it is better to remove weeds.
  • Top dressing can be applied up to five times per season. Among organic fertilizers, mullein or chicken droppings are held in high esteem, mineral fertilizers are allowed.
  • Long lashes are best secured to the supports.
  • To lengthen the fruiting period, greens are collected every two days.

When grown in greenhouse conditions, it is necessary to adhere to the same care requirements as in the open field.

Soil requirements

Zelentsy are undemanding to the ground. But it is better to choose a soil with a minimum acid-base balance.

It is advisable to cultivate the cucumber on breathable, light and loose soils. With an excess of clay in the soil, it is recommended to add rotted foliage, sawdust or sand. We advise you to prepare the soil before frost so that in the spring it only needs to be loosened.

The best option in the beds is the presence of sandy loam or loam with the introduction of organic matter. Among the predecessors are potatoes, eggplants, carrots, peppers, cabbage, tomatoes, carrots.

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.

Required climatic conditions

Vegetable crops are grown in these regions under any climatic conditions. The only caveat: with a lack of heat, sun and an excess of moisture, the yield of the vegetable decreases.

Disease and pest resistance

Othello is well protected from pests and diseases. The hybrid is not afraid of powdery mildew, spotting, cucumber mosaic. If the seedlings need to be transplanted to a new place, then the adaptation period does not last long.

But sometimes, if the conditions of agricultural technology are not followed, a sprout fly or aphid appears. In this case, the use of chemicals is justified.

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.

Review overview

Summer residents who have been using this variety for a long time note the pleasant taste of cucumbers, the soft structure of the pulp. Many argue that bitterness can only appear with insufficient watering.

Othello is perfect for pickling, especially when the length of the fruit does not exceed 5 centimeters.

The only negative, judging by the reviews, with an excess of moisture and a lack of heat, the yield drops sharply.
