KAFFKA

Cucumber Kaffka is an early, high-yielding hybrid developed by Monsanto Holland B. V. in the Netherlands. This variety is characterized by rapid maturation — from germination to fruiting takes about 39 days, allowing for an early harvest. The plant has large green leaves and weak branching, with female flowers occurring in clusters of one to three per node. Kaffka is a parthenocarpic hybrid, meaning it is self-pollinating and capable of fruiting without insect assistance, which is especially important for cultivation in various types of greenhouses during winter, spring, and summer periods. The fruits of cucumber Kaffka are cylindrical, approximately 12-14 cm long, with a short neck. Their surface is smooth, medium-ribbed, and colored in a vibrant green. The cucumbers are uniform and visually appealing. The flesh is firm and crisp, with a pleasant aroma and excellent flavor, featuring mild sweet notes, with no bitterness. High marketability and good transportability make this variety popular both for home gardening and commercial production. Kaffka is suitable for cultivation in gardens, open fields, and protected soil. Its heat tolerance allows successful cultivation under various climatic conditions. Due to its characteristics and versatility, cucumber Kaffka is an excellent choice for those who value an early harvest, high-quality fruits, and ease of cultivation.
