"Murashka", cucumber: a description of the variety and tips for growing

Parthenocarpic cucumbers for the formation of the fetus do not need to "communicate" with the bee. This means that it can be effectively grown in the house, in greenhouses. In addition, in rainy weather, when bees do not fly, such a cucumber will not cease to tie fruit. Parthenocarpic numbers number already dozens of varieties. One of them is cucumber.

Description

The fruit is very beautiful: short, dark green.

It is easy to determine cucumbers "creep". Description of the variety indicates that the fetus has large tubercles with spines. A distinctive feature of the hybrid "shit F1" is a very pleasant smell.

Flowers by the type of flowering, like all parthenocarpic women, have female. Above each leaf is formed from four to six ovaries. This allows you to quickly harvest. Grade cucumber "shit" early, ripen in 44-48 days. The yield from a single plant is 6-7 kg.

"Murashka" is a cucumber, resistant to diseases.

Seed treatment

For seeding, the best seeds are selected three or four years ago. Although germination, they retain up to 8, sometimes even up to 10 years. Before sowing, they must be decontaminated and germinated.

To do this, they are heated for three days at a temperature of 50 degrees, soaked for half an hour in manganese, after dissolving 5 grams beforehand in a half liter of water. Then rinse and soak for half a day.

Germination

Prepared seeds are wrapped in damp cotton cloth (so that they "breathe") and stand until germination at a temperature of at least 25 degrees.

The field of this can also be hardened by placing the drained grains for 18 hours in the refrigerator. The temperature there should be 2 degrees of heat.

Seedling

"Murashka" is a cucumber that can be grown from seedlings. This will get an earlier harvest. With such a method, the danger of the loss of grain or germs at low temperatures is excluded.

But sow cucumbers in boxes like tomatoes, not worth it. Cucumbers do not tolerate the transplant, so they need to grow one by one, in extreme cases - two.

The cups are filled with a mixture of equal parts of humus and turf ground with the addition of wood ash at the rate of 1 glass per bucket mixture.

It can be filled in half, put one or a couple (not more) of germinated grains and fill it with 1 cm of earth above. At the same time, it is necessary to compact well, otherwise the sprout will pick up after the layer, rather than pierce it.

You can fill the cup by 2/3, make a groove by a centimeter and fill it with a mixture. Containers with seeded seeds are placed in a box with a thin layer of earth at the bottom and covered with glass or film. This will prevent uncontrolled drying of the mixture.

Seedlings will appear in 20 days. Therefore, it is possible to sow the seeds of cucumbers "goosebumps" in April-early May (for disembarkation to the open land).

After emergence of sprouting box open, put on a sunny warm place (you can on the windowsill). The temperature is lowered to 22 degrees, humidity is increased to 90%. This can be done by spreading wet towels on hot batteries.

Sprinkle seedlings should be moderate. Carry out several feeding with a solution of Mullein (1 liter of a 10% solution on a bucket of water). You can add mineral fertilizers.

Planting

Seedlings are planted when she has two or three real leaflets. The most suitable soils for them are light loamy, well-fertilized. Place for cucumbers should be protected and well lit, if possible - on the southern slope. But make sure that there is no potato, fennel and other aromatic herbs near. The exception is dill.

The soil is prepared from autumn. Fertilize with humus (two buckets per square meter). It is distributed evenly over the site. Sour soil is limed. In this case, it is enriched with calcium, which enhances the development of root hairs.

At temperatures below 13 ° C in the soil, the seeds are lost. Therefore, they should be sown in the soil when it is heated above this temperature.

The same goes for the greenhouse. But there the necessary conditions are created earlier.

Sow the seeds in grooves to a depth of 5 cm. They are watered, the soil is loosened slightly, so that it does not stick together. Spread out the seeds so that the distance between them is five to six centimeters. Fall asleep with damp earth. You can mulch with humus. This will retain moisture and raise the temperature near the seeds.

When sowing cucumbers, it is possible to use a square-socket method (the side of the square is 70 cm). In each well, ten seeds are sown, of which later three are left.

Thinning sprouts

The thicker the cucumber crops are, the later the fruiting begins. Therefore, the plants need to be thinned regularly. First remove the extra plants before the appearance of these leaves. A meter is left for five pieces.

Cucumber loves heat (up to 25 degrees) throughout life. If the temperature begins to fluctuate strongly, then its roots die and the plant weakens. And illnesses develop.

Watering

Fruits grow at night. To do this, they need watering.

But not every day on a mug under a bush. It is better to take two buckets of water per square meter. The soil will soak to a depth of 20 cm, which will allow maintaining the desired humidity on the site. During flowering, water very carefully, breaking the furrows at a distance of 15 cm from the roots and not allowing water to enter the plant. Water is used warm, up to 30 degrees. After watering you need to loosen the soil.

Fertilizer

Use cow dung or chicken manure, fermented in a container of water and diluted in a ratio of 1:10. The color of the liquid is light yellow.

The second top dressing is done by adding superphosphate or nitroammophoska (1 tablespoon per bucket of water) to the mullein.

Before fertilizing plants are watered. Make 1 liter of fertilizer per plant.

The third is spent using a glass of ash on a bucket of water. The rate of application under the bush is reduced by half.

Formation

The main stalk of the hybrid "shit F1" is plucked after the sixth sheet. Lateral stems - at a length of 40 cm.

Protection against diseases

"Murashka" - an early cucumber, so little is affected by disease.

But to prevent the disease with powdery mildew spray 10% solution of milk with water, adding 100 drops of iodine.

To treat the roots from rotting is necessary, removing the earth from the bush and sprinkling them with ashes. However, to this disease are relatively resistant cucumbers "shit".

Reviews

Hybrid likes buyers for early and amicable fruiting. Some argue that it fructifies before the onset of frost. They can not name another sort of cucumbers, such as "goose bump". The reviews show that gardeners like both its appearance and taste.

Some consumers believe that parthenocarpic varieties are less suitable for salting by taste. But they will arrange any mistress with their appearance.

Small, the same size, even - what else are needed for pickling? Just such fruits have a "creep" - a cucumber, specially created for harvesting for the winter.

In the first weeks of August, it contains the maximum amount of vitamins and nutrients. It is at this time that it is recommended to collect cucumbers for pickling cucumbers . Consumer testimonies indicate that if the brine is drained, boiled, poured back and rolled in three days, the cucumbers will retain their taste and quality until the spring.

Buyers believe that the cucumber "goosebump F 1" is the best of the hybrids.
