• the surface is coarsely tuberous, the pubescence is black, of medium density;
• shape - cylindrical;
• taste - excellent, without bitterness;
• approximate weight - 65-70 g;
• average length - 9-11 cm;
• the length-width ratio is 3.1:1.

The marketable yield of the crop is about 9.5 kg/m².

"Monisia f1" has many advantages, including:

• early ripeness;
• uniform nature of crop yield;
• excellent shade tolerance;
• high level of fruit density;
• the fruits are uniform and not subject to overgrowth;
• good product characteristics;
• excellent transportation options;
• pleasant taste of fruits without bitterness;
• attractive appearance;
• disease resistance;
• possibility of cultivation in all regions of the Russian Federation.

The disadvantages include:

• slightly thick skin of cucumbers;
• with a significant lack of light, sprouts may stretch out (in the initial stage of growth). The disadvantage is eliminated by optimizing the growing light regime.

Varietal diversity

Many people prefer these parthenocarpics:

• Murashka F1 - early ripening, black-thorned, suitable for barrel fermentation;
• Krakow F1 - early ripening (42 days), 8-10 cm, green with pimples, can be salted in a barrel;
• Persian F1 - smooth salad, sweet, length 15-20 cm;
• Masha F1 - universal Dutch, early (40-45 days), bouquet ovary, gives a friendly high yield;
• Herman F1 - Dutch early, pickling, in nodes there are bunches of 6-7 fruits, its improved hybrid is Meringue F1;
• Mother-in-law F1, Zyatek F1 - early (45 days), with a dense crispy center, productive, recommended to sow nearby.

It is worth paying attention to Dutch varieties of cucumbers for the greenhouse that do not require pollination. All of them differ in the bouquet type of flowering and ovary

The best cucumber seeds are treated with fungicides.

• Ecole F1 - bright green, pickling. The maximum length is 8 cm, which allows you to remove fruits in the form of pickles and gherkins.
• Dirigent F1 is an early ripening gherkin, dark green, with powerful growth, loves well-fertilized soil. After harvesting the main harvest, it actively throws out new ovaries.
• Kibria F1 is a high-yielding, powerful gherkin of dark green color. A heavy load does not prevent growth and new ovaries.
• Monisia F1 - early ripening (38-40 days), large-tubercular, length 6-9 mm, suitable for processing.

Some gardeners refuse small-fruited varieties due to the fact that gherkins quickly take on the shape of balls. In this case, choose the pickling hybrid Carolina F1. It does not outgrow, allowing you to slightly delay collection.

From the variety of seeding material, you can choose greenhouse varieties adapted to shade and partial shade. They are divided into winter and summer.

There are fewer winter varieties. For example, Forward F1 is a late, long-fruited, smooth variety with thin skin and excellent taste. Spring planting provokes the development of diseases. From January you can grow it at home in the window.

From the summer assortment we offer Garland F1, Arina F1, Danila F1, Secret of the Company F1, etc.

Smooth, long-fruited cucumbers have many fans. A timely garter on a trellis will ensure their even shape. Most often they have a length from 15-17 cm to 35-40 cm.

Interesting among them are parthenocarpics for spring-summer greenhouses: Chinese heat-resistant F1, Chinese frost-resistant F2, Arbat F1 - 15-17 cm, Vasilisa F1 - black-thorned, dense, pickling, 18-20 cm. It is advisable not to overexpose the length indicated in the description, later the fruit increases in diameter.

Due to temperature changes and dryness, cucumbers become bitter. But breeders overcame this negative by offering varieties with a guaranteed lack of bitterness.

• For example, Miracle Crunch F1 - ripening at 40-43 days. Bundle ovary, finely tuberculated cucumbers, 60-65 g each. They do not outgrow for a long time, suitable for pickling and pickling. Resistant to powdery mildew, VOM-1.
• The strong baby F1 is pickled, ripens in 53-58 days. Zelenets 7-8 cm, weight 73-85 g with a bright fresh aroma. Resistant to low temperatures. It is not afraid of cladosporiosis, powdery mildew and downy mildew.
• Paratunka F1 - self-pollinating, early ripening, does not outgrow. The fruits are tuberculate with white spines, in nodes of 3-4 pieces, 8-9 cm long. Suitable for double planting - in spring and summer. The seeds are pickled.
• This category includes Paso Doble F1, long-fruited Zozulya F1.

Growing

Cucumber "Monisia f1" can be grown in two ways (depending on climatic conditions). Let's take a closer look.

• The first is the seedling method of growing

Dates: beginning of May.

Seedlings are grown using the cassette method or in pots. To sow seeds, a mixture is required: soil, sand and humus (proportion - 2:0.5:1). The volume of soil in pots is approximately 400 cm³.

To avoid stretching of seedlings, a certain light regime should be observed; artificial lighting may be used.

Approximately 20 days after sowing the seeds (late May - early June), the period of “three to four true leaves” begins, when the seedlings should be transplanted into a greenhouse or open ground. The following scheme should be followed:

1. 2-2.5 plants per 1 m² - for vertical (trellis) cultivation;
2. 4-4.5 plants per 1 m² - when grown horizontally.

Seed consumption is 1.5-3 g per 10 m2 (1.5-3 kg/ha).

It is recommended to plant cucumbers on those plots of land where winter wheat, peas, potatoes, onions, and cabbage previously grew.

With the trellis growing method, plants are not damaged during technological operations, fruit harvesting is simplified, and the yield is significantly increased.

• The second method is to sow seeds in open ground.

Dates: end of May - beginning of June (depending on the growing region).

Place manure in well-fertilized and dug soil to a depth of 2 cm in the holes and sprinkle with earth; Sow the seeds themselves at a depth of 1-1.5 cm and cover with soil. Sow according to the pattern: 40x50cm. After this, cover the crops with film. After all the seeds have sprouted, the coating should be removed and the seedlings should be thinned out (by pinching).

Which method of growing cucumbers do you prefer?

Seedling methodSowing seeds in open ground

Cucumbers should be replanted only when the soil at the sowing depth (4-5 cm) warms up to 15˚C. At lower temperatures, the seeds will become moldy and the seedlings will not take root.

In open ground, it is better to sow cucumbers in a place protected from the wind.

It can be used not only for preparing salads or canning. According to gardeners, it is in canned or pickled form that all the taste qualities of the fruit are revealed. Many people consume it fresh. There is a sweetish taste, without bitterness. Moreover, the absence of bitterness is due to genetic parameters.

Care

Like most cucumbers, "Monisia f1" needs regular care:

• timely watering;
• regular weeding;
• regular loosening of the soil;
• fertilizing with complex fertilizers;
• mulching (peat, sawdust).

Watering should be done regularly - every 3-4 days (more often during fruiting) in the morning or evening. Water temperature is approximately 20-25 °C. Water consumption - 25-30 liters per 1 m2. Watering rates are affected by weather conditions—in hot weather, the amount of watering must be increased.

The use of drip irrigation and the application of water-soluble fertilizers with irrigation water (fertigation) is quite effective:

1. 2 weeks after planting cucumber seedlings, fertilizers must be added to the soil: for every 4 m², 10 g of potassium salt, superphosphate and ammonium nitrate per 10 liters of water.
2. 2 weeks after the previous feeding, it is necessary to add fertilizer to the soil: for every 4 m², 20 g of potassium salt, superphosphate and ammonium nitrate per 10 liters of water.
3. During fruiting it is also necessary to fertilize: for every 4 m² 30 g of potassium sulfate per 10 liters of water.

During the growing season, it is also recommended to fertilize with wood ash, infusion of nettle leaves, and fermented mullein.

Diseases and pests

The culture has:

• high resistance to typical cucumber diseases: cladosporiosis (scab), root rot, white rot, etc.;
• intermediate resistance to cucumber mosaic virus and powdery mildew.

For example, mosaic virus manifests itself by the appearance of yellow spots on fruits and leaves. There is no drug to treat the disease, so to prevent the spread of the disease, you simply need to destroy the affected bushes.

Root rot

As for powdery mildew, it actively thrives in cold and damp conditions, as well as with frequent changes in air temperature. The disease is caused by a fungus that covers the leaves with a white (ashy, snowy) coating. One of the effective folk remedies for this disease:

1. Spraying the affected beds with diluted mullein (dilute manure in water in a ratio of 1:3, leave for two days, dilute three times again, strain; you will get a solution ready for use).
2. Another control method is to dissolve 1.5-2 g of potassium permanganate in 10 liters of water; this will give you a good mixture for treating cucumbers covered with powdery mildew.

Of the pests, the greatest damage to cucumbers is caused by spider mites, aphids, and thrips. You can use Actellik, Talstar, etc. against them. The biological product Actofite is also effective against spider mites (maximum effectiveness at temperatures above 18-20˚C).

To prevent any diseases and pests, regular weeding, loosening, and maintaining the correct watering regime are recommended.
