STRAUSS

Consistent Yields in Early Terms

The «Strauss» cucumber from the breeding company «Sedek» is a proven solution for growers focused on ultra-early maturity and production consistency. This parthenocarpic hybrid, developed by a team of breeders led by A.N. Lukyanenko, is designed to deliver high-quality yields in a short timeframe. From germination to the first harvest, it takes less than 40 days, making it a favorite for intensive cultivation cycles.

Agronomic Profile and Resistance

The generative growth habit of the plant ensures efficient yield distribution: the bush directs its primary resources toward fruit formation rather than excessive vegetative mass. «Strauss» demonstrates excellent adaptability to both open-field conditions and commercial glass greenhouses.

A key advantage of this variety is its genetic defense against major phytopathogens that limit cucumber yields. The «Sedek» breeding program has ensured high resistance to:

• Cucumber Mosaic Virus (CMV);
• Powdery Mildew;
• A complex of common viral diseases.

Marketable Quality

The fruits of «Strauss» meet modern standards for the «cornichon» segment. With an average weight of 80 grams and a length of 7–9 cm, they feature a distinct dark green color and prominent wartiness. The firm texture of the flesh makes them ideal for both fresh consumption and all types of preservation, as the cucumber retains its crunchiness and attractive appearance.

By choosing «Strauss», the grower secures a predictable result: compact fruit size, disease resistance, and the ability to plan sales as early as the end of the first month of vegetation.
