The characteristic of the unpollinated variety of cucumbers interested both farmers and summer residents. Its advantages include:

• excellent yield;
• easy maintenance;

• resistance to temperature extremes.

Unlike other parthenocarpic varieties, cucumbers are used not only in salads, but are also suitable for s alting for the winter. A hybrid female flowering type, drought tolerant, fruits ripen in two cycles. Vyatich is not afraid of cucumber diseases, namely:

• olive blotch;

• delicate pulp;
• lack of voids;
• cylindrical shape;
• presence of tubercles on the surface.

Cucumbers are not bitter, do not turn yellow when overripe, are stored for a long time, transported over long distances. Brilliant and dense greens of the Vyatsky variety, 14 cm long, weigh from 110 to 130 g. More than 12 kg of fruits with a pleasant taste and a weak aroma are harvested from one bush in the greenhouse.

Preparing for landing

The yield of any variety of cucumbers depends primarily on the quality of the seed. To select the best specimens, the seeds from the bag are laid out in a s alt solution. Those that sink to the bottom are slightly warmed up, treated with potassium permanganate and germinated.

If cucumbers are planted in open ground, it is better to dig up the soil and feed it in the fall. After hardening, the seeds are buried 3 cm into the ground, warmed up to 12 degrees. Planting pattern - 50 to 50. The wells are moistened with warm water. Agrofiber or polyethylene film should be laid on top of the cucumber bed. Under such a shelter, the hybrid bush will develop rapidly.

Vyatich cucumbers are grown in another way. First, seedlings are prepared, and when 4 leaves appear, they are moved to the garden where cabbage, parsley, potatoes or beans grew. On one square meter, 2 seedlings of cucumbers should be placed.

How to form a bush?

If you grow a Vyatich hybrid in a greenhouse, you need to leave one stem. When the cucumber reaches the trellis, it is wrapped several times around the rope.When 4 leaves and ovaries appear, pinch the top. After that, the shoot formed in the bosom of one of them is removed, the rest are tied in a checkerboard pattern to the trellis.

After this procedure, air penetrates into the lower tier of the plant more easily, the roots do not rot, nutrients enter the upper part of the bush.

So that the whips of cucumbers of an unpollinated variety do not grow much, pinching is performed every half a meter, yellowed leaves are cut off from below, as well as shoots on which fruits are no longer tied. All work on the formation of hybrid bushes must be done early in the morning.

Cultivation practices

In order for non-pollinated cucumbers to please with high yields and taste, it is not enough to study the description of how to form a bush and ties to a trellis, you need to properly care for them.

Special attention when growing the Vyatich hybrid is paid to:

• moisturizing;
• loosening the soil;
• ventilate the greenhouse;
• fertilizer.

When the cucumbers begin to ripen, it is necessary to remove weeds and feed the soil. It is necessary to water with warm water no more than once every 3 days, Vyatich hybrid bushes need to be moistened more often if the first flowers appear.

During fruiting, cucumbers need potassium, it is desirable to apply complex fertilizers in this period every week. The growth of unpollinated hybrids is delayed when the soil hardens. After watering the plant, the ground around the cucumbers must be loosened, but in such a way that the roots of the bush are not damaged.

During the growing season, the Vyatsky variety is fertilized once a decade. In a bucket of water, stir 1 liter of manure and a spoonful of carbamide, in which up to 47% nitrogen is present, and water the plants.

The bushes of the unpollinated hybrid Vyatich grow quickly, many delicious cucumbers are tied on them. Subject to the rules of agricultural technology, it is possible to collect from 1 square. square meters up to 20 kg of fragrant fruits.
