Cucumber is a common vegetable crop. Almost no salad or preserve can do without this vegetable. The Vyatich F1 cucumber variety, known for its good fruit taste and high yields, has received special attention from gardeners.

Characteristics of cucumbers of the Vyatich variety

History of variety development

This cucumber variety was bred by Turkish breeders. But the cucumber hybrid Vyatich F1 was included in the Russian State Register only in 2021. At the same time, Russian seed companies do not produce seed material of this hybrid; all Vyatich F1 seeds come to Russian gardening stores directly from Turkey.

This hybrid is recommended for cultivation in greenhouse conditions in almost all Russian regions, and in the southern regions, the Vyatich cucumber grows well and bears fruit in garden beds.

Description of the variety

The Vyatich F1 cucumber is distinguished by its early ripening period - from the moment of germination of the planting crop to the harvesting of the fruit, a little more than a month passes. Moreover, in greenhouse conditions, as well as in the southern regions in the garden, this vegetable crop can be grown twice per season - in the spring-summer and summer-autumn periods.

The cucumber vines of this variety are of medium length and grow no more than 1.9-2.1 m, the side shoots are quite short. A characteristic feature of this hybrid is that the fruits on the side shoots begin to set after the central stem has finished bearing fruit. The shoots are well leafy. The foliage is medium in size, with many veins, smooth, rich emerald color.

Since this cucumber hybrid belongs to the parthenocarpic type, only female flowers are formed on its vines, and the ovaries are formed without pollen. Therefore, the bushes of this hybrid do not require pollination. Cucumber flowers are small in size, intense yellow in color.

Flowers are usually formed in the axils of the leaves, each of which can form up to 2-4 ovaries.

Features of planting and care

This cucumber hybrid can be planted using seedlings or non-seedling methods. But seed material is planted directly into open ground only in the southern regions, where the soil has already warmed up to 12-14 degrees Celsius by the time of planting in early to mid-May. The seed material of this hybrid is planted for seedlings in the second half of April.

The area for planting this vegetable crop is prepared in advance, preferably in the fall. After the harvest has been harvested from the garden, you can begin to cultivate the plot in the fall. First, all remnants of vegetation are removed along with the roots, then organic matter (humus or compost) is added. After this, you need to dig up the area using the bayonet of a shovel.

You also need to follow the rules of crop rotation and grow cucumbers after potatoes, cabbage, parsley, peas or beans.

Great idea for growing cucumbers

When growing cucumber seedlings indoors, you need to maintain a temperature of 22-24 degrees Celsius. In order not to pick these seedlings with a delicate root system in the future, it is necessary to immediately place the seed material in separate containers. After germination, containers with plants are moved to well-lit windowsills.

From the moment the sprouts appear, the temperature in the room is reduced to +16-17 degrees, and the daylight hours for them should be at least 12-13 hours. Therefore, if there is a lack of natural light, phytolamps must be installed next to the growing seedlings.

Features of cultivation

This hybrid is suitable for any of 2 growing methods:

using seedlings;
planting seeds in open ground.

Vegetables grow well in sunny weather and are demanding when planting. Cucumber Vyatich f1 can be planted in any conditions, but it is better to do this in film greenhouses. To plant in open ground, the soil is fertilized and dug up in the fall. Although the seeds are pre-hardened, the soil must warm up to 12 °C.

The holes (about 3 cm deep) are watered with warm water, seeds are placed in them and dug in. The beds must be covered with oilcloth or other synthetic material.

Before planting a cucumber in a greenhouse, prepare the seedlings. When 4 leaves appear on the seedlings, you can start picking. The basic requirements for environmental conditions are the absence of frost and warm soil. This species prefers medium clay soil.

It is good if legumes, parsley, potatoes or cabbage previously grew at the planting site. The area of the bed for one seedling should be approximately 50x50 cm. One stem is left on it, and the first 4-5 internodes are blinded. As they grow, the shoots must be tied to a support.

Planting in open ground

The grown seedlings are planted in a permanent place after about a month, when at least 4-5 permanent leaves appear on it. This usually happens in the second ten days of May, when ground temperatures rise to 14-16 degrees Celsius.

Secrets of July sowing of cucumbers

Seedlings of this hybrid should be planted on beds or seed material at a distance of 0.5 m from each other. In this case, the width of the rows should be at least 0.6 m. The direction of the beds should be strictly from north to south, in this case the cucumber vines will not block the sun from each other, and it will be easier to care for them and harvest.

Agricultural technology

The plant will have good immunity to diseases if it is properly cared for and the seeds are treated and the seedlings are hardened when sowing.
Hybrid Vyatsky is resistant to:

powdery mildew;
cucumber mosaic;
downy mildew;
olive spot;
root rot.

To get high-quality seed material, you should purchase it at a gardening store. They can provide you with a product that is not expired, a certificate confirming its originality and the manufacturer’s brand. To check the suitability of seeds for planting, you need to immerse them in a salt solution. Those that can be planted will sink to the bottom, and empty ones will float to the surface.

Next, you need to follow a certain preparatory technology, which consists of a number of stages.

Selection.
Warming up.
Soak.

If you want to plant cucumbers directly in the garden, you need to choose a period when the soil is warmed up as much as possible and a stable temperature has established at +12+13 oC. The soil for planting is prepared in the fall; it should be loose and well fertilized. The sunny side of the plot is suitable for cultivation, and the seeds need to be buried in the holes by 4 cm, and they should be 60 cm apart from each other.

When planting, the seeds are watered with warm water and covered with film to prevent frostbite of the sprouts. When using the seedling method of planting, seeds must first be:

warm up;
disinfect by placing in a weak manganese solution;
dry by laying it on a horizontal, non-sticky surface;
carry out treatment with special compounds that significantly accelerate growth and development.

With timely watering, provision of sufficient lighting and compliance with other requirements, the root system will develop actively and will be strong, strong and with stable immunity. A healthy bush is the key to a good harvest.

Transplanting seedlings into the ground

This process will not take too much time, but you need to be very careful not to damage the roots, which are fragile.
Unlike tomatoes, cucumber sprouts can become seriously ill and not everyone can recover them. Note!

Transplantation of seedlings into the ground is done at the moment when about 3-5 true leaves are formed, which confirms the maturity of the plant.

The soil is prepared warm, moist and 2 sprouts are enough per 1 m2. It is better to plant the Vyatsky hybrid where they previously grew:

potato;
cabbage.

This soil will be the most fertile.

Care

This variety is declared as unpretentious to care, but there are still minimum requirements, since to get a good result you need to ensure:

watering;
weeding;
fertilizing

For irrigation, settled warm water is used, and the amount and volume of liquid depends on the frequency of precipitation and on growth activity. High humidity is required during the period when fruits form and ripen, which will have a beneficial effect on taste. Watering is done in two ways.

Under the root. This option is ideal for adult bushes, since drops falling on the foliage will cause severe burns.
Irrigation. This method is used at the stage of planting seeds and the appearance of the first sprouts.

The hybrid will begin to develop slowly and bear little fruit if the top layer of soil above the roots is hardened. To avoid the problem, loosening is done after each watering. The work is carried out as carefully as possible so as not to damage the roots

It is important to regularly remove weeds and yellowed leaves, which can suppress young shoots and cause increased consumption of moisture and nutrients for the plant. Both industrial formulations and mixtures prepared at home are suitable as fertilizers.

A natural solution based on onion peels and water in a ratio of 200 g:5 l is popular.

To create an effective mineral complex use:

serum;
water;
iodine.

To 10 liters of water you need to add 1 liter of whey and about 16 drops of iodine.

Attention!

Among industrial products, preference is given to ready-made sulfate and nitrogen fertilizers.

You can use yeast-based fertilizer, which will require 1 pack per 10 liters of water. The introduction of the nutrient solution is done during watering.

Further care

Although this cucumber hybrid is unpretentious to growing conditions, the Vyatich F1 cucumber bushes still need to be provided with timely watering, regularly apply fertilizer and loosen the root zone of the plants. You should also tie cucumber vines to trellises.

Watering the bushes of this cucumber is done 2-3 times a week with warm, settled water. During periods of drought, plants should be watered every other day. Water is applied strictly at the root so that drops of moisture do not fall on the foliage and shoots of cucumbers.

Growing cucumbers: in a barrel, hut and on a trellis

Loosening of the root zone of the bushes of this cucumber is carried out after watering or rain, breaking up the dry crust that forms on the soil.

The lashes are tied to trellises or a special cucumber net to make them easier to care for and harvest.

After the sprouts appear or a couple of weeks after transplanting the seedlings into the beds, you need to apply fertilizer for the first time. Typically, fertilizers containing nitrogen are used for this. From the moment the buds appear, rotted manure, greenfinch or mineral fertilizers containing phosphorus and potassium are applied under the cucumber vines.
