BABAKLAVA

Reliable harvest from Aelita selection

The "Baba Klava" cucumber is the result of the breeding work by the "Agrofirma Aelita" team (V.G. Kachaynik, M.N. Gulkin, G.V. Golovko). The variety was developed as a reliable tool for both home gardeners and farmers focused on early harvests in open-field conditions. Its value lies in its predictability: the parthenocarpic pollination type makes the grower independent of pollinators, which is particularly important during unstable spring weather.

Agronomic features and morphology

The variety belongs to the vegetative plant type with high growth vigor. The main fruit characteristics make it popular in the gherkin segment:

• Ripening period: technical maturity occurs 40–45 days after germination.
• Fruit parameters: fruit length is 10–12 cm, with a small-tuber surface that gives the cucumber an attractive market appearance.
• Growing conditions: ideal adaptation to open ground, allowing for conveyor cultivation on private plots.

The reputation of the "Baba Klava" hybrid is built on its endurance. By choosing this variety, the producer receives a classic gherkin that is equally well-suited for fresh consumption in salads and for pickling or canning. Due to the small-tuber skin structure, the cucumbers pickle evenly while maintaining a crunchy texture.
