CHECHEL

Cucumber Chechel F1 — a mid-season, bee-pollinated hybrid with predominantly female flowering, intended for cultivation in open ground. From germination to the start of fruiting, it takes 40-45 days. Plants are strong-growing, climbing, with compact and moderately branched bushes, as well as shortened suckers, ensuring moderate growth intensity. The recommended planting density is no more than 3-4 plants per square meter, which contributes to optimal yield, reaching 8-12 kg per square meter.

The fruits of cucumber Chechel have a cylindrical shape, with a large-bumpy, matte surface and a length of 8-12 cm. The color is green with blurred stripes, covered with black foldable spines. The base of the fruit is blunt and smooth, with medium-density skin and dense, crisp flesh with a pleasant color. These characteristics make this hybrid ideal for pickling and fresh consumption, thanks to its excellent taste qualities. The fruits have high transportability and can be stored for a long time at a temperature of 2-4 °C.

The hybrid Chechel exhibits comprehensive resistance to major cucumber diseases, including powdery mildew, downy mildew, cucumber mosaic virus, cladosporeiosis, and bacterial disease. High fruit marketability, reaching 90%, and uniform fruiting make this variety attractive to gardeners and farmers seeking high-quality and stable cucumber yields.
