Cucumis sativus - Regina F1

Cucumbers undoubtedly belong to the most popular types of vegetables. Pickling cucumbers or salad cucumbers are probably the most commonly grown vegetable species. Everyone knows the long snake cucumbers. The fruits measure over thirty centimeters, are smooth, not bitter, and are suitable for growing in greenhouses and polytunnel covers. Cucumbers originate from India, where they have been cultivated for 3000 years. The plant grows up to 2 meters long, climbing. It characteristically has large, deeply serrated, alternately growing leaves. Cucumbers produce large yellow unisexual flowers - male and female, which are pollinated by insects. The fruit is a cucumber - a berry.

Cucumbers contain the enzyme erepsin, which breaks down proteins. Vitamin E protects cells from free radicals. When consuming cucumbers, a feeling of satiety soon sets in, which helps with weight loss diets.

Besides basic kitchen preparations of cucumbers, such as salads or for preserving, cucumbers can also be used to make various cream salads, but also cocktails and various smoothies.

How to Grow Cucumbers

  • It is not advisable to plant cucumbers where potatoes or strawberries were previously grown. On the other hand, beds after peas, onions, beets, or beans are suitable. Cucumbers require a bright, warm location that is sheltered. We keep the soil around the sprouted seedlings loose and clean. Cucumbers are shallow-rooted, so we don't hoe deeply. We pinch plants at the six-leaf stage after the fifth leaf and later also pinch side shoots after set fruits. Pinching accelerates harvest by at least fourteen days. Watering during sunny heat is not suitable, as they suffer from scald and downy mildew. Leaves must be dry at night, so afternoon watering is completely unsuitable, and we water only in the morning. For cucumber growing, it is advisable to use PVC film which protects seedlings from possible temperature drops. Black non-woven fabric is most suitable.

  • Cucumber seeds can be sown directly in the bed around May 20th. Cucumbers are quite susceptible to temperature shocks, so temperatures should not fall below 8°C.

    Another option is pre-cultivation, which helps us avoid cucumber downy mildew. Sowing can be done from mid-April. We sow seeds in sowing substrate, one seed directly into pots or seed trays. We can pre-cultivate by a window indoors or in a greenhouse. Seedlings are pre-cultivated for 12-16 days, and the suitable temperature for seed germination is 15-18°C. Waterlogging is not good for either seeds or young seedlings, as they could easily die. We place seedlings in their final location only after May 20th.

  • They require quality, well-fertilized, deeply worked soil.

  • The site should be fertilized before planting with well-rotted manure or composted compost. This should be left to settle for another 2 to 3 weeks. During vegetation, you can fertilize with diluted cow manure with fermented chicken droppings. You can also use artificial fertilizer Cucumin, designed specifically for cucumbers. We can also apply Cererit or Floran.

  • Sucking pests such as aphids, whiteflies, or spider mites can significantly weaken our cultivated plants when heavily infested. Among fungal diseases, mainly mildews such as cucumber downy mildew, black fruit rot, powdery mildew. It is advisable to use ROCK EFFECT as prevention, not only against sucking pests but also against fungal diseases. For treatment against fungal diseases, we can use products Acrobat MZ WG, Aliette 80 WG, also Dithane DG Neotec, Champion 50 WP, Kuprikol 50, Ortiva, Previcur Energy, Ridomil Gold MZ Pepite and Plíseň STOP.

    Symptoms of cucumber mosaic virus can be observed in approximately month-and-a-half-old plants. Greener irregular spots begin to form on the leaves, which yellow over time. Leaves wrinkle and deform. It is transmitted by pests such as aphids or whiteflies. Protection consists of eliminating the sucking pests that transmit the disease and destroying plants in case of infestation.

  • We harvest cucumbers at least two to three times a week. During harvesting, we take care not to tear the cucumber seedlings and damage the shoots. We harvest ripe fruits.
