Rijk Zwaan cornichon type cucumber seeds CANTARA F1is a hybrid with high productivity and very good earliness. The port of the plant is open, similar to that of the Lenara RZ hybrid. The plants have medium vigor and the development of lateral shoots is moderate. Thanks to the very strong root system, it develops and fruits well even in unfavorable growing conditions. The fruits are bright dark green, with prominent fine spines, easy to harvest, cylindrical in shape (L:D ratio – 3.3:1) and not prone to deformation, obtaining high quality fruits even in conditions of stress. Under optimal growing conditions, it can produce 2-3 fruits/axil, developing one by one, which ensures continuous production and harvest. It is not sensitive to deformations and the appearance of voids in the pulp of the fruit. Excellent quality for fresh consumption. We recommend cultivation in greenhouses and solariums, in the first cycle of cultivation due to its good earliness and high tolerance to low light.
