Madiera

Madeira F1 cucumber is an early parthenocarpic hybrid of cornichon type developed by Seminis (Netherlands). This variety is suitable for cultivation both in open and protected ground, characterized by high adaptability to adverse environmental conditions, including low temperatures during early development and shade tolerance. The plant is easy to care for and form, making it convenient for cultivation both on an industrial scale and in private farms. Madeira F1 cucumber fruits have an elongated-cylindrical shape with large bumps, measuring 10-12 cm in length and averaging 50-60 grams in weight. The skin is dense, dark green with longitudinal yellow stripes up to the middle of the fruit, giving them an attractive appearance. The cucumbers do not become overgrown, tough, or bitter, possessing a refreshing slightly sweet taste. Due to these qualities, the cucumbers are suitable for fresh consumption as well as for canning and pickling. The hybrid exhibits high resistance to a range of common diseases and tolerance to irrigation water quality, allowing cultivation on saline soils. Regular harvesting promotes even fruiting throughout the summer, ensuring a stable and early yield. The planting rate is 25-30 thousand plants per hectare, optimal for achieving maximum productivity. Madeira F1 cucumber is a reliable choice for farmers seeking high-quality produce and resistance to adverse factors.
