Variety description

10 August 2026

The hybrid is suitable for cultivation from January to autumn, including long cycles, and is well-adapted to low-light conditions. The plant has moderate vigor, an open habit with short internodes, and forms compact generative side shoots, which simplifies maintenance.

“Midi” type fruits reach a length of 18–24 cm and a mass of 195–250 g. They have an intensely dark green color, a cylindrical heavily ribbed shape, a small seed chamber, and are characterized by high keeping quality and transportability.

The variety possesses high resistance to Corynespora cassiicola (Cca) and Cladosporium cucumerinum (Ccu), as well as intermediate resistance to Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV), Cucumber vein yellowing virus (CVYV), and powdery mildew (Px). It is intended for cultivation in protected ground on various substrates and in soil.
