Vyuga cucumber is an ideal variety for those who want to reap a generous harvest in the shortest possible time. The hybrid entered into the register of the Russian Federation is famous for its high yield and good taste.
Description
An ultra-early variety obtained by crossing two species by breeders of the Biotechnika agricultural company. Cucumbers ripen 37–30 days after sprouting. The hybrid does not require human or insect intervention for pollination, as it is capable of self-pollination.
Medium-sized bushes are moderately weaving. The growth of the central conductor is unlimited, the side shoots are short. The color of the leaves is rich green. Blooms profusely, predominantly with female type flowers. From 3 to 5 cucumbers are formed in a bunch-type ovary.
The cylindrical fruits are covered with a dark green skin, which is diluted in the lower part by thin white stripes. The surface of cucumbers is densely covered with large tubercles with short white fluff. The length varies in the range of 6–8 cm, weight - 60–70 g. After the Vyuga F1 cucumber reaches a length of 5 cm, the shape of the fruit changes to a more oval one. The taste is delicate, sweetish. Flesh without bitterness.
Provided that all crop requirements have been met, the yield of cucumbers of the Vyuga variety is 15 kg per 1 sq. m.
The advantages of Vyuga cucumbers include:
- Short ripening period.
- High organoleptic characteristics and good presentation.
- Immunity to true/downy mildew, olive spot.
- High yield.
- The ability to use cucumbers for different purposes.
- Good tolerance to low temperatures.
The characteristics of the variety have only one drawback, which is that voids often form in cucumbers.
Features of cultivation
Caring for the Vyuga variety hybrid is practically no different from caring for other vegetable varieties. In the northern regions, where spring frosts are quite severe, cucumbers are grown through seedlings. Since the crop does not like replanting, the seeds are planted in separate small peat containers or cups filled with a substrate of humus, turf oak, and sand combined based on a 2:1:1 ratio. The seeds are planted to a depth of 1.5–2 cm. The comfortable temperature for the emergence of sprouts is +20–+22 ⁰С. Caring for Vyuga cucumbers consists of the following manipulations:
- The first thing that is needed for the normal growth of hybrid bushes is abundant watering. Cucumbers are watered once every 2-3 days with slightly warm water, which is applied between the rows.It is impossible to water plants at the roots, as rot may develop. The main rule for moisturizing cucumbers is that from the first to the second watering the soil should not become too dry.
- Seedlings are fed with organic or mineral fertilizers, which contain large amounts of nitrogen. Please note that after planting, you cannot overfeed the bushes with nitrogen, as it stimulates the development of green mass, which negatively affects fruit set. Mineral fertilizers are applied once every 2 weeks, organic fertilizers - 2 times.
- The grown stems are tied to a vertical trellis. As a result of the manipulation, it is possible not only to save space on the site and improve its appearance, but also to significantly improve the yield of the cucumber variety.
A gardener who wants to reap a generous harvest must strictly follow all the recommendations presented, otherwise the description of the plants in the garden will have little resemblance to the manufacturer’s description.
Reviews
As you know, grown plants do not always correspond to the description. The reviews left by gardeners about the Vyuga cucumber variety are mostly positive. The advantages of the hybrid include high yield and friendly yield of fruits.
Housewives who have made twists note that green vegetables are not suitable for pickling, since the fruits do not crisp after processing and lose their taste. Due to this feature, cucumbers are recommended to be consumed fresh.
