Japanese breeders from Sakata have developed a high-yielding hybrid variety of yellow-fruited squash. Zucchini F1 Yasmine – a plant for cultivation in a greenhouse and open ground of medium early ripening. In Our Country, the variety is distributed by Gavrish, the largest supplier of seeds to the domestic market.

Agricultural technology of cultivation
Zucchini seeds of the Yasmin variety in a bag of an unusual blue color – pickled, do not need additional protection. A crop is planted in the ground with seeds and seedlings when the temperature of the soil layer at a depth of a palm reaches +12 degrees. Seedlings at the age of 20–30 days or hatched seeds are planted in prepared holes Ø 40–50 cm, 10 cm deep.
The acid reaction of the soil for Yasmin F1 zucchini is preferably neutral or slightly alkaline. Before planting seedlings, a bucket of humus or compost is brought into the hole, dug up and spilled with plenty of water. After planting, the hole is mulched with 2–3 cm of compost. If necessary, deoxidize the soil, crushed chalk, lime, dolomite are introduced.
In the case of sheltering the ridge with an opaque film, cuts are made crosswise under the seedlings and sprouts of zucchini. Seedlings that sprouted in the 1st-2nd decade of April need a voluminous shelter under the arcs. On cool nights, the plant does not get cold, and during the day the bush hardens with the covering material removed, the soil does not dry out. Zucchini varieties Yasmin do not tolerate shading.
Landing in the ground | Seedlings, germinated and dry seeds |
|---|---|
The predecessors of zucchini | Solanaceae, legumes, root vegetables, cabbage |
Irrigation rate | Abundant – the plant is moisture-loving |
Soil requirements | Light fertilized soils. Ph neutral, slightly alkaline |
to the coverage requirements | Plant shading is painful |
Features of the maturation of the fetus | Eat early – overripe fruits are prone to cracking |
Watering and feeding
During the period of development of the Yasmin variety bush, before fruiting, zucchini is watered moderately: 2-3 liters per plant with loosening after the topsoil has dried. A fruiting plant is watered twice as much. Evening watering is preferable: moisture is completely absorbed into the soil. When watering from a watering can, the roots and leaves of the plant absorb moisture. On hot days, water consumption for irrigation increases. At the end of the growing season, watering is reduced, one and a half weeks before harvesting the bushes, the zucchini is stopped watering.
During the autumn digging of the soil under the zucchini, organic fertilizers are applied – in loose soil, the roots of the Yasmin zucchini variety develop actively. During the growing season, top dressing is carried out 1 time in 3 weeks. Aqueous solutions of mineral fertilizers alternate with infusions of mullein and bird droppings. Plant development and fruit growth is stimulated by watering with a slight addition of a weekly infusion of weeds.
Regular foliar top dressing with a frequency of 1,5–2 weeks is more effective than root. Depleted solutions of nitrogen fertilizers for spraying the leaves of fruit-bearing marrows are prepared for a single use. Excessive enthusiasm for nitrogen fertilizers threatens the accumulation of nitrates in the fruits.
Winter stocks
Before the end of the season, Yasmin squash bushes are prepared for harvesting fruits for storage without processing. Watering stops. Flowers, ovaries, small fruits are removed. Leave on the bush 2-3 zucchini fruits of the correct form, without damage. September and August are rich in morning dew, which is fraught with fruit rot.
Experienced gardeners sprinkle pine and spruce needles under the zucchini bushes with the appearance of the first ovaries. The fruits practically do not touch the soil on a blown resinous litter. When loosening, dry needles remain on the surface of the soil. After digging, it does not decompose in the soil for a long time, being a natural conductor of air and moisture to the roots of the bush.
Early maturity, high yield, culinary features of fresh fruits and preserves of Yasmin zucchini made the variety popular. Rave reviews from gardeners contribute to the spread of the yellow-sided Japanese Yasmin F1 in beds.
