Variety description

10 August 2026

The hybrid is early-maturing, with the onset of fruiting occurring 40–45 days after emergence. The plant is vigorous, of the vegetative type, with high regenerative capacity and active formation of lateral shoots. Due to its shade tolerance, it is suitable for the winter-spring cropping cycle under low-light conditions.

The fruits are cylindrical, dark green, glossy, with slight ribbing. Their length varies from 20 to 24 cm, and the diameter is 4–4.5 cm. The flesh is firm and crunchy, with no cavities. The hybrid shows high resistance to Cladosporium cucumerinum and Corynespora cassiicola, and moderate resistance to powdery mildew and Cucumber vein yellowing virus.

Intended for professional cultivation in glass and plastic greenhouses, including the use of hydroponics and rockwool with supplemental lighting.
