The disadvantages of the cucumber variety "All in a bunch" is the biological feature of the hybrid - the bush does not give planting material.
Optimal growing conditions
The cucumber variety is undemanding to ultraviolet light; growth does not slow down in a periodically shaded place. For photosynthesis in greenhouse structures, no additional lighting equipment is required. A place for a garden in an unprotected area is chosen open, from the south or east side, the cucumber "Vse bunch" does not tolerate the influence of the north wind.
The soil is preferable neutral, fertile, drained. Lowlands and waterlogged soil are not suitable for the variety. The landing site is prepared in advance:
- Dig up the site, neutralize the soil if necessary, use lime or dolomite flour.
- Observe the crop rotation. The garden bed on which melons and gourds were grown last season is not suitable for the “Vse bunom” cucumber variety.
- Organic fertilizers, ammonium nitrate and superphosphate are introduced.
- Before placing the cucumbers, the prepared place is watered with plenty of warm water.
Growing cucumbers varieties All in a bunch
Cucumbers "All in a bunch" are propagated in two ways:
- sowing seeds directly to the garden. This method is practiced in regions with warmer climates;
- the seedling method or planting in a greenhouse is used in regions with cold springs and short summers.
Direct planting in open ground
Work is carried out at the end of May or early June. It is necessary for the soil to warm up to +16 0C and the threat of recurrent frosts has passed. The holes are deepened by 2 cm, 3 seeds are placed. After germination, when the cucumber grows up to 4 cm in height, the seedlings are thinned out, leaving one strong sprout. The interval between holes is 45 cm. At 1 m2 place 4 cucumbers. The scheme of planting in a greenhouse is the same as in open ground, sowing is carried out in mid-May. If the structure is heated, the seeds are planted in early May.
Seedling growing
The seedling method of cultivating cucumbers of the "Vse bunch" variety makes it possible to get a harvest earlier. Seeds are sown in March in separate peat containers; picking of the crop is not required. Peat containers are planted directly into the ground, since the cucumber does not tolerate transshipment well. Work algorithm:
- Fertile soil is poured into the container.
- Deepen the seeds by 1 cm, fall asleep, water.
- Placed in a room with an air temperature of at least +22 0C.
- Provides 16 hour coverage.
After 1 month, the plant is placed in a permanent place.
Watering and feeding
Water the cucumbers in moderation. Variety "All in a bunch" does not react well to waterlogging. On an open bed, the watering regime depends on precipitation; in a dry summer, two waterings per week will be enough.Activities are carried out in the evening, preventing the ingress of water on the stems and leaves, so as not to cause burns during the day. In the greenhouse, the soil is moistened by the drip method, the top layer should be slightly moist.
To obtain a high yield cucumbers "All in a bunch" need top dressing:
- The first one is after the formation of four sheets with a nitrogen-containing agent (urea).
- The second - after 3 weeks with potassium, superphosphate, phosphorus.
- With an interval of 2 weeks, organic matter is introduced.
- Another top dressing, necessary for better fruit setting, is carried out with a nitrogen-containing agent during fruiting.
- Before the last fruits ripen, mineral fertilizers are applied.
Formation
Cucumber variety "All in a bunch" is formed by one central stem. Lateral shoots are removed. If you leave two stems:
- the yield will not increase;
- the plant will be overloaded;
- the fruits will not receive the necessary nutrition, they will form in a smaller mass and size:
- there is a threat of the ovaries falling off.
A plant is grown near a support, as it grows, the trunk is tied to a trellis. Only those leaves are left on the stem, in the internode of which bundles of fruits are formed, the rest are cut off.
Protection against diseases and pests
Cucumber variety "Vse bunom" has a stable immunity to infection and pests. In an open bed, the plant does not become infected with a fungal and bacterial infection. In a closed area with high humidity and low temperatures, anthracnose develops. For prevention, the plant is treated with copper sulfate at the beginning of the growing season, ventilation is monitored, watering is reduced, and treated with colloidal sulfur. In the greenhouse, there are no parasitic insects on cucumbers. On unprotected territory, Whitefly moth poses a threat, caterpillars are eliminated with the "Commander" tool.
Yield
Cucumber "Vse bunch" - an early variety, the harvest is carried out from mid-July to the second half of August. Tufted fruiting is the guarantor of a high yield. Fruiting in a cucumber is stable, regardless of where the variety grows: in a greenhouse or on a garden bed in the open field. Recoil from a bush up to 7 kg.
For example, the first batch at the beginning of May, the second at the end.
Conclusion
Cucumber "All in a bunch F1" - an early ripe hybrid of an indeterminate type. Differs in parthenocarpic formation of fruits and bundle flowering. Provides stable, high yields. Frost-resistant, unpretentious in agricultural technology. Fruits with a high gastronomic value, versatile in use.
