Vyuga Cucumber is an ideal variety for those who want to harvest a generous harvest in the shortest possible time. The hybrid entered to the Russian register is famous for its high yield and good taste.

Description

Ultra-early variety obtained by crossing two species by breeders of the agricultural company Biotekhnika. Cucumbers ripen 37-30 days after sprouts appear. The hybrid does not require human or insect intervention for pollination, as it is capable of self-pollination.

Medium-sized bushes are moderately weaving. The growth of the central conductor is unlimited, the side shoots are short. Leaf color is rich green. It blooms profusely, mostly with female-type flowers. In the bunch-type ovary, from 3 to 5 cucumbers are formed.

Cylindrical-shaped fruits are covered with dark green skin, which dilute thin white stripes at the bottom. The surface of the cucumbers is densely covered with large tubercles with a short white fluff. The length varies in the range of 6-8 cm, weight - 60-70 g. After the cucumber Blizzard F1 reaches a length of 5 cm, the shape of the fruit changes to a more oval one. The taste is delicate, sweetish. Pulp without bitterness.

Provided that all the requirements of the crop have been met, the yield of Vyuga cucumbers is 15 kg per 1 sq. m.

The advantages of Blizzard cucumbers include:

1. Short maturity.
2. High organoleptic properties and good presentation.
3. Immune to powdery mildew/downy mildew, olive blotch.
4. High yield.
5. The ability to use cucumbers for different purposes.
6. Good cold tolerance.

The characteristic of the variety has only one drawback, which is that voids often form in cucumbers.

Features of cultivation

Caring for a hybrid of the Vyuga variety is practically the same as caring for other varieties of vegetable crops. In the northern regions, where spring frosts are quite strong, cucumbers are grown through seedlings. Since the culture does not like transplants, the seeds are planted in separate small peat containers or cups filled with a substrate of humus, soddy oak, sand combined based on a ratio of 2: 1: 1. Seeds are planted to a depth of 1.5-2 cm. Comfortable temperature for the appearance of sprouts is + 20- + 22 ⁰С. Care for Blizzard cucumbers consists of the following manipulations:

• The first thing you need for the normal growth of hybrid variety bushes is abundant watering. Cucumbers are watered 1 time in 2-3 days with slightly warm water, which is brought into the aisles. It is impossible to water the plants under the root, as rot may develop. The main rule for moisturizing cucumbers is that from the first to the second watering, the soil should not dry out too much.
• Seedlings are fed with organic or mineral fertilizers, which contain a large amount of nitrogen. Please note that after planting, it is impossible to overfeed the bushes with nitrogen, as it stimulates the development of green mass, which negatively affects fruit set. Mineral dressings are applied 1 time in 2 weeks, organic - 2 times.
• The grown stems are tied to a vertical trellis. As a result of the manipulation, it is possible not only to save space on the site and improve its appearance, but also significantly improve the yield of the cucumber variety.

A gardener who wants to harvest a generous harvest must follow all the recommendations presented exactly, otherwise the description of the plants in the garden will have little resemblance to the description of the manufacturer.

Reviews

As you know, grown plants do not always match the description. The reviews that gardeners leave about the Vyuga variety of cucumbers are mostly positive. The advantages of the hybrid include high yields and a friendly return of fruits.

The hostesses who made the spins note that greens are not suitable for pickling, as the fruits do not crunch after processing and lose their taste. Due to this feature, cucumbers are recommended to be consumed fresh.
