Each gardener sets himself the task to grow cucumbers, because without this vegetable it is impossible to imagine any summer salad.Also, it can not do without in the preparation of winter blanks, because cucumbers are tasty both in pickled or salted form, and in all sorts of assorted vegetables. The opinion is quite deservedly fixed that cucumbers are quite capricious in their care and cultivation, require fertilizing with fertilizer, a certain amount of irrigation and temperature conditions. In most parts of our country, a good harvest can be expected if you plant cucumbers in greenhouses, that is, in greenhouses or greenhouses.

After the emergence of parthenocarpic hybrids to grow these vegetables in the greenhouse is not difficult. As for the formation of fruit in these plants, pollination is not necessary. Which means no need for various insects. One of the popular hybrids in gardeners and gardeners is the Mamluk F1 variety. This kind of blooms on the female type.

This variety is very promising, despite its youth, it has very high chances to become popular among farmers.

Many dacha owners with a lot of experience believe that self-pollinating and parthenocarpic cucumber species are the same. But according to the method of formation of fruits, according to their features, these are completely different types. In cucumbers, which are characterized by self-pollination, stamens and pistils are present simultaneously on the flowers, due to which the process of self-pollination takes place, and as a result, ovaries are formed. Insects and bees can also pollinate these cucumbers. In addition, self-pollinating varieties form seeds.

Parthenocarpic species do not require pollination to form the ovary. And if it nevertheless occurs by insects when it is planted in open ground, then the fruit may turn out to be bent or malformed. This type of cucumber is intended only for cultivation in greenhouses. They have no seeds or they are defective under normal conditions. Partenocarpic hybrids have proven themselves very well with cucumber growers on an industrial scale. Fruits, besides the fact that do not require pollination by insects, have a number of advantages.

Cucumbers "Mamluk F1" are great to grow them in the period of winter and spring, as adapted to the environment with low light. The hybrid is considered to keep up early. The fruits begin to ripen already after 35 days after planting in the ground. During the summer period maturation is possible after 30 days. The root system of the Mamluk F1 variety stands out among others for its special strength and sophistication. It gives a chance to grow intensively on the leaves and the stem, and also promotes good fruiting. Due to this, plants are obtained high, especially the main stem, the branching of the shoots is below average.

Cucumber "Mamluk F1" has a female type of flowering. 1-2 ovaries are laid in the node; they do not require adherence to a special agrotechnology. Cucumbers are poured evenly, all this contributes to a greater amount of collection of marketable products compared to other varieties, for example, with a bouquet type of ovary. The yield of this hybrid is very high, even in comparison with varieties such as "German" and "Courage". During the tests, the Mamluk F1 showed a yield of up to 13.7 kg per square meter. Cucumber can withstand a relatively low temperature, resistant to various rot, powdery mildew.

The main characteristics of cucumbers of this variety:

• cucumbers short fruit and lumpy;
• cylinder shape, with a slight slope;
• thorns are white; seeds are almost absent;
• cucumber length is about 14-16 cm on average, weight is about 130-150 g;
• cucumbers do not have bitterness, which gives them excellent taste;
• fruits tolerate transportation and are well kept.

The technological process of growing practically does not differ from other varieties. Seed should be planted only when the soil warms to +12 degrees.The sowing depth is about 3-4 cm on average. Place cucumbers optimally at a distance of 50 cm, they should be tied to a trellis. This cultivation technology has only positive reviews.

Cultivation of this variety in the winter or spring in the greenhouse has a number of features. Sow seedlings should be in December or January, so that in February it could be planted in the greenhouse soil after a month.

After 2-3 days after the emergence of sprouts need to apply additional light all day. The humidity of the air at the same time should not be below 70-75%. Reducing the temperature of the soil below +12 +15 degrees or watering with cold water can cause widespread dying of the ovaries. The method of forming the shape of a plant in one trunk is quite suitable for this species, despite the small number of ovaries. 4 leaves are cleaned entirely with the ovaries. In the next 15 nodes, one leaflet and one ovary should be left. Where the plant becomes higher trellis, in a node you need to leave 2-3 leaves and ovary.

When the fruiting period begins, the temperature should be at a level not lower than + 24 + 26 degrees during the day and not lower than + 18 + 20 degrees at night. Watering cucumbers need to do quite intense and maintain regularity. One square meter of bed should be poured at least 2-3 liters of water. Cucumber "Mamluk F1" in a greenhouse or greenhouse can give excellent results when grown due to its distinctive qualities. In the open beds, too, you can get a pretty good harvest, if you follow the agricultural techniques.
