NASLEDNIK – A NEW VARIETY OF CUCUMBER OF THE FAR EASTERN BREEDING

Breeding work on cucumber culture is conducted in many scientific research institutions and selection and seed-growing firms. The priority direction in the breeding of cucumber in the Far Eastern Research Institute of Agriculture is the creation of bee-dusted varieties for open ground, adapted to local conditions with a sharply variable hydrothermal regime and a high natural infectious background, where the most dangerous of cucumber diseases are downy mildew (peronosporosis) and angular spotting of the leafs (bacteriosis). The breeding and introduction of disease-resistant varieties and hybrids in to practice is the most effective and cheapest method of combating plant diseases, as it is the only way you can get guaranteed yields. A new variety of cucumber Naslednik was obtained as a result of testing promising cucumber varieties at the Far Eastern Research Institute of Agriculture and was handed over in 2016 in the State Variety Test. The variety is medium-ripening, bee-dusted. The fruiting occurs 44-47 days after the emergence of mass shoots. The green fruits are elongate-ovoid form 10-12 cm long, 3.5-4.0 cm in diameter and with a fruit weight of 100-120 g. The average total yield of the fruit is 38.9 t/ha, the marketable – to 31.6 t/ha, respectively to the standard (variety Mig) obtained 35.1 t / ha and 27.4 t/ha. The most valuable qualities of the new variety are resistance to peronosporosis and bacteriosis, a high yield of marketable fruits (80-82%), slowly turning brow fruits.
