Features of growing a hybrid

Prestige is a cucumber variety that grows well in neutral soil. Landing is carried out at an air temperature of 15-22 degrees. If you need to harvest early, the seeds are grown in seedlings. To do this, one month before planting at a permanent place of growth, the seeds are planted in a container with soil fertilized with organic fertilizing.Pour warm water, cover with a film and leave in a warm place for germination. When the seeds hatch, the film is removed, the plants are placed in a warm sunny place. The container is turned from time to time so that the sprouts do not lean to one side. Seedlings are transplanted to a permanent place of growth in the first quarter of May.

When planting seeds in a permanent place of growth, the ground is prepared in advance. For this you need:

• fertilize the beds with organic top dressing;
• dig;
• spill plenty of hot water;
• cover for a week with foil.

After preparation, seeds are sown on the beds - 2 seeds per hole to a depth of 2-4 centimeters. The distance between plantings is 50 by 30 centimeters. It is so convenient to care for seedlings, they do not obscure each other.

After seed germination, weak sprouts are removed, leaving one seedling in one hole.

Plant Care

During the growth of cucumbers, they need to be looked after to get the desired harvest:

1. Water the plants.
2. Weeding the beds.
3. Staging.
4. Loosening the soil after watering.
5. Fertilizer under the root and foliar.
6. Watching the emergence of diseases.

Here is a list of activities that result in a rich and high-quality harvest.

Weeding beds is carried out as weeds grow, moisten the ground as needed. Since the plant is indeterminate, in the absence of pinching, the green mass will fill the entire space, and the harvest will be poor.Fertilize all varieties and hybrids of cucumbers at least three times per season with organic and mineral fertilizers.

It is also necessary to constantly inspect plants for diseases, fungus, rot, drying of leaves. When the latter are found, the plants in the garden are treated with fungicides, and the diseased sprouts are removed and destroyed.

Marina Vladimirovna, 53 years old

I have been growing this variety for a long time, and still have no complaints. Plants feel great both in the greenhouse and in the open field, thanks to the female type of flowering, they can be planted even on the windowsill. Cucumbers are delicious and crispy. I use them for pickling and pickling.Naturally, all summer fresh cucumbers are on our table.

Vladimir, 45

We live outside the city in a private house, our own garden, kitchen garden and a lot of living creatures. Therefore, we constantly grow cucumbers in the beds. We read the description of the variety on the site and decided to plant Prestige at home. The harvest is fast, after planting a month has passed with a tail, and the first greens have appeared. And maturation lasted until September. We ate fresh cucumbers and dashed off a bunch. There are 50 cans of pickled cucumbers in the cellar. Very productive hybrid.

When grown properly, this hybrid has high yields, does not get sick and thrives both in the open field and in greenhouses.
