Trend

Focus on early harvest: Trend cucumber

For farmers aiming to maximize profitability in the early vegetable segment, the Italian hybrid 'Trend' from Cora Seeds S.R.L. is a key tool for rapid market entry. With a maturation period of 40–45 days, it allows producers to meet the demand for fresh cucumbers early in the season when market prices peak.

Agronomic performance and plant protection

A major challenge for early-season planting is the plant's susceptibility to fungal diseases caused by fluctuating spring temperatures. 'Trend' was specifically selected for high resistance to powdery mildew, which is vital for commercial farming operations. This resistance reduces the need for frequent fungicide applications, lowers soil chemical impact, and minimizes overall production costs per kilogram.

• Yield characteristics: The heavily warted fruits (10–12 cm long) offer a highly marketable appearance.
• Color profile: A blend of green and light-green shades ensures that the fruits maintain their freshness and visual appeal even after long-distance transport.
• Practical application: This hybrid is perfectly suited for both film greenhouses and open field cultivation. Due to the plant’s strong regenerative capacity, 'Trend' responds well to intensive feeding schedules, allowing for consistent harvesting over an extended period.

The pedigree behind Cora Seeds S.R.L. and the team of Maurizio Bacchi ensures excellent uniformity. The fruits are consistent in size, which streamlines the sorting and packing process for wholesale supply chains.
