The Vyatsky cucumber is excellent for growing in a greenhouse, since the fruits of this parthenocarpic hybrid, bred in 2015, set without pollination. The cucumber safely tolerates sudden changes in temperature, prolonged lack of moisture, and feels normal on infertile soil.
Features of the variety
In Russia, the Vyatich cucumber is mainly grown in film greenhouses. It is impossible to collect the seeds of the hybrid; they are produced by a company from Turkey and sold in the markets of many countries. The characteristics of the unpollinated variety of cucumbers interested both farmers and summer residents. Its advantages include:
- excellent productivity;
- low maintenance requirements;
- rapid ripening;
- resistance to temperature changes.
Unlike others parthenocarpic varieties of cucumbers They are used not only in salads, but are also suitable for pickling for the winter. Hybrid of female flowering type, tolerates drought, fruits ripen in two cycles. Vyatich is not afraid of cucumber diseases, namely:
- olive spot;
- powdery mildew;
- root rot;
- viral mosaic.
The first greenery is picked a month after the sprout forms. The Vyatsky hybrid bears fruit until the end of August in both hot and cool weather. Nodes form on the long vines of the plant, in each of which one or even two ovaries are formed.
Appearance
The Vyatsky F1 cucumber is valued not only for its resistance to bad weather conditions and diseases; positive reviews indicate high yield and excellent taste.
Hybrid greens are characterized by:
- tender pulp;
- absence of voids;
- cylindrical shape;
- the presence of tubercles on the surface.
Cucumbers do not taste bitter, do not turn yellow when overripe, are stored for a long time, and are transported over long distances. The shiny and dense greens of the Vyatsky variety, 14 cm long, weigh from 110 to 130 g. More than 12 kg of fruits, which have a pleasant taste and faint aroma, are collected from one bush in the greenhouse.
Preparing for landing
The yield of any cucumber variety depends primarily on the quality of the seed. To select the best specimens, the seeds from the bag are placed in a salt solution. Those that sink to the bottom are slightly warmed up, treated with potassium permanganate and germinated.
If cucumbers are planted in open ground, it is better to dig up the soil and feed it in the fall. After hardening, the seeds are buried 3 cm in the ground, warmed up to 12 degrees. The planting scheme is 50 to 50.The wells are moistened with warm water. Agrofibre or polyethylene film should be laid on top of the cucumber bed. Under such cover, the hybrid bush will develop quickly.
Cucumbers of the Vyatich variety are also grown in another way. First, prepare the seedlings, and when 4 leaves appear, move them to the bed where cabbage, parsley, potatoes or beans grew. On one square meter you need to place 2 cucumber seedlings.
How to form a bush?
If you grow the Vyatich hybrid in a greenhouse, you need to leave one stem. When the cucumber will reach the trellis, it is wrapped several times around the rope. When 4 leaves and the ovary appear, pinch the top. After this, the shoot that has formed in the axil of one of them is removed, the rest are tied in a checkerboard pattern to the trellis.
After this procedure, air penetrates more easily into the lower tier of the plant, the roots do not rot, and nutrients enter the upper part of the bush.
To prevent the vines of non-pollinated cucumbers from growing too much, pinching is done every half a meter, yellowed leaves from below are torn off, as well as shoots that no longer bear fruit. All work on the formation of hybrid bushes must be done early in the morning.
Agrotechnics of cultivation
In order for unpollinated cucumbers to delight you with high yield and taste, it is not enough to study the description of how to form a bush and garters to a trellis; you need to properly care for them.
When growing the Vyatich hybrid, special attention is paid to:
- hydration;
- loosening the soil;
- ventilation of the greenhouse;
- fertilizer.
When the cucumbers begin to ripen, it is necessary to remove weeds and feed the soil.It is necessary to water with warm water no more than once every 3 days. Vyatich hybrid bushes need more frequent moistening if the first flowers appear.
During fruiting, cucumbers need potassium; it is advisable to apply complex fertilizers during this period every week. The growth of non-pollinated hybrids is delayed when the soil hardens. After watering the plant, the soil around the cucumbers must be loosened, but so that the roots of the bush are not damaged.
During the growing season, fertilizing of the Vyatsky variety is carried out once every ten days. In a bucket of water, stir 1 liter of manure and a spoonful of urea, which contains up to 47% nitrogen, and water the plants.
The bushes of the non-pollinated hybrid Vyatich grow quickly and produce a lot of tasty cucumbers. If you follow the rules of agricultural technology, you can collect from 1 square. meter of area up to 20 kg of fragrant fruits.
