It would seem that cucumber varieties differ little from each other, but each variety has its own special characteristics. They relate not only to the taste of the fruit, but also to the growing process. The Salinas variety is held in high esteem by Russian agronomists. Plants form into a single stem, preventing the vine from overgrowing.

Description of the variety

The resulting hybrid is parthenocarpic, which means that it is able to pollinate independently, without the help of insects and other plants. Bushes form mainly female flowers. Seedlings are planted in open beds or under temporary film shelters. In any conditions, the fruit crop will feel good and please with a regular harvest.

The variety is characterized by resistance to most common diseases and a long growing season. If you follow all the conditions for care, the bushes bear fruit for a long time - up to two and a half months.

Characteristics of the appearance of plants and zelents

The color of the medium-sized leaves is standard, rich green. Growth is indeterminate. Medium lashes. One bunch grows from 3 to 5 zelents. Cucumber bushes form powerful, which makes them stand out against the background of other crops.

Dark green vegetables grow short and reach only 6-9 centimeters in length, and weigh 75-80 grams. Cucumbers are elongated, cylindrical in shape. Small stripes of light green color are visible on the green skin. The spotting is moderately pronounced. The entire surface is covered with small tubercles located close to each other. White thorns are also present. Pointed noses form at the edges of the cucumbers.

Purpose and taste of fruits

Ripe fruits have excellent gastronomic qualities and a complete lack of bitterness. The pulp inside is crispy and aromatic, with a sweet aftertaste and pronounced crunch. New taste characteristics of fruits are revealed when they are salted or pickled. They are also popular when fresh. It is a healthy and flavorful ingredient for salads and snacks.

Maturation

Salinas is a medium-ripening crop. From the day of germination to fruiting, it takes about 40 days (41-43 days). Plants bear fruit evenly and regularly throughout the season.

Yield

The average yield reaches about 2.75 kilograms per square meter of land. According to experienced gardeners, the yield can reach 10 kilograms. The fruits are distinguished by high marketability and transportability, due to which Salinas cucumber can be grown for sale.

Landing scheme

The optimal planting scheme, taking into account the characteristics of the variety, is 30x70 centimeters.

Growing and care

Cucumber bushes should be watered regularly using the correct amount of water. With a lack of moisture, cucumbers become lethargic and lose their taste. It is necessary to irrigate the beds once for 5-7 days, under stable and comfortable weather conditions. In the rainy season, the regularity of watering is reduced, and in the heat, on the contrary, it increases. In the sultry summer, the soil is moistened every 1-2 days.

About one bucket of water is consumed per adult plant. This volume will also be enough to irrigate a square meter of the plot where the seedlings are planted. The culture responds remarkably to drip irrigation. The liquid is poured strictly under the root, especially in the heat, so that it does not get on the leaves and shoots. Water can burn the plant matter. It is advisable to water in the evening, after sunset.

To harvest a rich and tasty crop, you need to use top dressing. During the growing season, fertilizers are applied from 3 to 5 times. Nutrient deficiencies cause fruit deterioration. They lose their marketable appearance, aroma and taste.

As soon as young shoots have appeared, the first feeding is applied. These are organic matter such as bird droppings or rotted manure. It is impossible to use such fertilizers in their pure form. A liter of organic matter is dissolved in 10 liters of water. Mineral fertilizers are added to the composition (50 grams of superphosphate and 15 grams of potassium and urea sulfate each) and 0.5 liters of wood ash. In the process of crop maturation, the amount of potash and nitrogen fertilizers doubles.

Plants respond remarkably to foliar feeding. To prepare the composition for spraying, you will need the following components:

  • 10 liters of settled water;
  • 10 grams of superphosphate;
  • 5 grams of ammonium nitrate;
  • 8 grams of potassium sulfate.

One portion (a standard 10 liter bucket) is enough to cover 30 meters of land. The bushes are sprayed every 14-20 days.

After irrigation, the soil is loosened to keep it loose and light. So that the root system does not suffer, it is impossible to deepen the garden tool deeper than 5-7 centimeters. It is desirable to combine this process with the removal of weeds, which take moisture and nutrients from the soil.

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.

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.
