Among summer residents, new varieties of vegetables have been popular recently, but, unfortunately, not all of them are of good quality. “Trilogy F1” - a variety that has recently appeared by ear, but is already very popular.

general description

“Trilogy F1” is a recently appeared species of cucumbers. The variety was bred by the Raik Tsvaan campaign (authors: E.I. Golovatskaya and M.G. Kudryavtsev). The plant is characterized by its unpretentiousness, good immunity and high productivity. However, this type of cucumber requires special care.

This type of cucumber is a dwarf plant, in one connection three cucumbers are formed, 8 shoots are formed for the first time, ripens for 50-60 days (but this can be achieved only with proper care and proper planting). Commodity yield is greater than that of Scorpio and Graceful (15-550 kg / ha). The branching of the plant is quite large, the branches are quite long. Small seed chamber.

“Trilogy F1” is a self-pollinated plant, which allows the hybrid to cope without bees and the presence of neighboring flowering plants. The main crop gives the central stem, so you need to remove all the side stepsons. Cucumbers of this species are harvested ahead of maturity, in the state of gherkins.

Fruit characterization

Landing

The variety is grown in the same way as other hybrids, this can be done both using the seedling method and the seedling-free method. Cucumbers should be planted in open ground when the soil is warm enough - at the end of May. Using the second method, the plant should be planted in the ground, heated to +17 degrees.

Recommendations:

1. Before planting, the seeds must be soaked, as this will accelerate growth.
2. The soil should be loose, with the addition of fertilizers.
3. It is necessary to dig 10-12 cm holes in the soil.
4. The landing site should be well lit, because Trilogy cucumbers love sunlight, with insufficient heat, the fruits can die at all.
5. The variety grows better on the ground, where tomatoes, onions, peppers, wheat, carrots or cabbage were previously grown.
6. By pinching the tops of the main and lateral shoots, it is possible to activate the appearance of new ovaries, and also, possibly, this will stop the growth of the central stem.
7. Cucumbers need to be tied, for example, using trellises to which rows of wire are tied (the number of ovaries is subject to normalization).

Care

Special care is required only at the first stage of fruiting (thorough top dressing), but general recommendations should be remembered.

1. It should be watered in the evening with warm water.
2. Cucumbers are recommended to be fertilized, but without fanaticism (no more than 5 times per season): mineral fertilizers, complex fertilizers containing nitrogen, liquid products such as a solution of bird droppings or mullein (especially in the first month of maturation) are best suited.
3. Timely weed removal.
