Early maturing varieties and hybrids are especially popular, due to the short summer period and the small number of sunny days. The Buyan hybrid is familiar to many gardeners, we’ll talk about it today.

The main characteristics of the hybrid

Cucumber “Buyan f1” is produced by many agricultural companies, it is quite easy to find it on store shelves. It was bred by the specialists of the Manul company in 1997, which is located in the city of Mytishchi. In the table below, we have presented the main characteristics of this hybrid of cucumbers, so that it would be easier for a novice gardener to decide on the choice of seeds on the eve of the sowing season.

Of great importance for those who grow cucumbers are the following characteristics:

• ripening speed;
• susceptibility to disease;
• growing scheme;
• type of pollination;
• description of the plant and fruits.

When going for cucumber seeds, you should always pay attention not only to the picture and packaging, but also to the information that the manufacturer indicated on the label. For everyone who decided to start growing cucumbers for the first time, today we will analyze a few special terms.

Table

The minimum number of ovaries in a cucumber hybrid node is 2, and the maximum is 7. At the same time, the Buyan hybrid is characterized by medium branching. This process is restrained by abundant fruiting. The description of this hybrid by the manufacturer also raises the issue of exactingness in the presence of sunlight. “Buyan” is photophilous and productivity largely depends on the abundance of heat and sunlight.

Cultivation of cucumbers is always associated with a number of features, so it is worth touching on this serious topic in more detail.

Growing a hybrid

Before talking about exactly how to grow a large crop of the Buyan hybrid, it is necessary to touch on the topic of pollination, which is very important when growing any variety and hybrid of cucumbers.

Going to the store for seeds, you can often see the inscription “parthenocarpic hybrid” on the package. Not all gardeners know what this term means, so they try not to pay attention to it. But in vain. Here is the Buyan cucumber of the parthenocarpic type.

Parthenocarpic cucumber is able to bear fruit without pollination. In the case of cucumbers, this is extremely important.

A little explanation with a video on this topic:

Now let’s talk about cultivation. The manufacturer recommends planting seedlings according to the following scheme:

• in the greenhouse – 2,5 plants per square meter;
• in open ground – no more than 4 bushes per square.

The density of planting affects the yield, so in this case it is better to strictly follow the recommendations.

Cucumbers of the Buyan hybrid are planted for seedlings in May. It must be remembered that cucumbers are very fond of heat. Watering seedlings is carried out with water at room temperature.

Some gardeners argue about whether or not to soak and disinfect seeds before planting. There is no special rule in this regard, but if the planting material is purchased from trusted agricultural firms, then they do not need to be prepared. A good grower independently prepares the seeds, and they are completely ready for planting. As for soaking, this process will speed up germination.

Transplanting seedlings into the ground

Healthy seedlings of Buyan hybrid cucumbers can be planted in open ground, spring greenhouses or tunnels at the age of 20 days. At this time, the weather outside the window should be stable. Cucumber seedling sprouts should have 3-4 true leaves. When growing Buyan cucumbers in a seedless way, it is better to soak the seeds in advance.

Soil requirements are a separate issue. Cucumbers need:

• soil pH should be neutral;
• organic fertilizers are applied in advance;
• Soil fertility is a must.

It will be possible to harvest the first crop of Buyan hybrid cucumbers already 45 days after the appearance of the first shoots.

When transplanting cucumber seedlings into open ground, you must follow the scheme, keeping 40-50 centimeters between the beds. Buyan hybrid cucumbers grow well in sunny areas, but in the absence of such, seedlings can be planted in partial shade.

Plant Care

To get a rich harvest of cucumbers, you need to properly care for the plants. Let’s talk about some secrets.

A place for growing cucumbers should be not only sunny, but also protected from the wind. Cucumbers are extremely negative about this. The optimum temperature for growing is + 23-30 degrees Celsius.

In order for cucumbers to give a good harvest and there was no bitterness in them, it is required:

• weed and loosen the soil;
• watering in a timely manner and only with warm water.

As for such an important stage as watering cucumbers, it is better to allocate a barrel for this. It is filled with water, which is heated to air temperature. Watering cucumbers with cold water will limit their growth. It is impossible to apply liquid fertilizers and water cucumbers in cold weather. Also, the soil should not be allowed to dry out. This will lead to the fact that bitterness accumulates in the fruits of the cucumber, and it is impossible to get rid of it.

In addition, fertilizers are required for cucumber plants. This is especially true during the period of active growth and flowering. As for loosening the soil, this should be done quite carefully. Cucumbers have a very delicate root system that can be damaged.
