Varietal variety of zucchini

Our grandmothers did not think much about the varietal characteristics of the plants grown and from year to year they collected their seeds from the best fruits. Sometimes a new variety appeared on the site, but its main characteristic was color spectrum fruits: white, green, yellow, etc. with

The arsenal of modern gardeners is much wider and the color scale as a sign has faded into the background. Attention is paid to such characteristics as:

• Ripening terms (early, middle, late);
• Growth type (bush, climbing);
• Pollination features (parthenocarpic or insect pollinated);
• Productivity.

These and other characteristics allow the rule to select a species for specific conditions and get the most out of each plant.

To get a good harvest, you need to select a variety according to its characteristics.

Among the variety of zucchini, special attention should be paid to varieties that have earned the recognition of breeders and are most popular with gardeners. Each group has its own favorites. Someone is convenient due to their ripening time, and someone conquers with their compactness.

Before planting, the site is dug up and fertilized with organic and mineral fertilizers, as well as ash, if necessary, lime.

Sowing seeds is carried out in late May-early June after the threat of return frosts has passed. Seeds are sown in holes, 2-3 pcs. The distance between the holes should be at least 60 cm. After emergence, weak plants are carefully removed or cut.

All subsequent care for zucchini consists in regular watering, loosening, hilling and feeding.

Harvesting of fruits is carried out regularly at intervals of 2-3 days, preventing them from overripening.

Zucchini can also be grown via seedlings. Seedlings are sown in early May, and in open ground, seedlings are planted in early June, in the phase of 2-4 leaves.

Reviews of zucchini varieties

If you grow zucchini and some of these varieties are not described here, please write the name and give at least a brief description of it. What do you like about this variety, what kind of zucchini yield is obtained in your climate? If possible, attach photos of the zucchini grown by you Thank you!

Your reviews and additions will help many gardeners choose the best varieties of zucchini for planting.

Be sure to include the region where your site is located. So readers will find out which varieties are more suitable, for example, for the Moscow region, the north-west, Siberia and the Urals and other climatic zones.

To grow zucchini to everyone's envy and surprisingly, you need to observe the growing parameters. The “three pillars” of success are variety, conditions and care.

Zucchini seeds: the best varieties for open ground

Growth conditions

Zucchini need special soil, not heavy, black earth, seasoned with organic fertilizing. On acidic, swampy, with surface groundwater, "royal" zucchini will not grow.

Advice! If the soil is sandy, it is also undesirable to grow zucchini on it, but here, unlike swampy soil, the matter can be corrected by the preliminary application of magnesium fertilizers.

Growing zucchini in the open field

You will have to prepare the soil the day before in the fall. It needs digging to full depth (up to 30 cm), harrowing and fertilizing. The traditional rate of rotted organic matter is added per square meter, which is one standard bucket (about 6 kg). Plus a small amount of potassium supplements - 20 g, and a thirty-gram dose of superphosphate.

Preparing the soil

By the way! In order not to introduce organic matter and save the garden area, which can be used more rationally, you can grow zucchini on a compost heap. Only decomposed compost is suitable for cultivation, not fresh compost. It is desirable two years ago. Productivity with such permanent feeding is usually two to three times higher.

In the spring, the soil is dug up to half the depth, filled with ammonium nitrate (20 g per square meter), loosened with a rake and, warming up in the rays of the warm spring sun, is waiting for new "residents".

Ammonium nitrate

The width of the squash ridge is traditionally made 1.2 m. The best predecessors for this pumpkin crop are cabbage, tomatoes, potatoes and other root crops, and onions. After pumpkin, in particular squash, pumpkin and cucumber, squash cannot be grown.

The correct crop rotation for the summer resident

But they can be sown on a joint ridge in one year, if you do not set a goal to grow the fruits of zucchini for seeds.

Advice! Zucchini in a potato field feel great and bear fruit. It is best to plant them around the perimeter of the area with potatoes so that there is enough sun.

The temperature regime for zucchini starts at + 22 ° С. At this temperature and above, there is a rapid growth of leaves, growth of lashes, rapid flowering, massive ovary (in the presence of pollinators and the absence of rain) and ripening of fruits.

As for humidity, high humidity is destructive for the culture. Zucchini can't stand her. It is better to leave them dry than to pour them over. Therefore, among other things, it is not recommended to grow a crop under a film. But if a rainy summer is the norm in your area, it is possible that the zucchini harvest will be better in a greenhouse.

Zucchini starts to rot due to too high humidity

Care

There are interesting nuances in leaving that are not typical of other cultures. For example, seeds sown in the ground give shoots, which crows, rooks and other large birds love to feast on. If you plan to grow a crop of zucchini, seedlings from birds must be protected.

Advice! To protect the seedlings of zucchini along the plantings, it is necessary to hang strips of paper, foil, film so that they move in the wind and scare away birds.

1. Watering. As already noted, you cannot pour zucchini. Therefore, watering is better sparse than frequent; but abundant is better than meager. Plants are watered only with warm water. Ten days before harvesting, watering is stopped.

   Growing zucchini: watering

2. Loosening. Mandatory after every watering or rain. The severity and crustiness of the soil can destroy the plant. Also, zucchini need hilling with additional (not from the hole) soil, to form a mass of adventitious roots.
3. Thinning - will have to be carried out if the seeds are sown directly into the ground. The distance between the growing bushes should be at least 70 cm, therefore, all control seedlings are removed from the hole, leaving one strongest.It is not necessary to tear a weak plant by the root, as this can damage the roots of another seedling. It is enough just to pinch it near the soil.

   Zucchini need to be thinned

4. The first feeding occurs when the seventh leaf is formed. Given: water, ammonium nitrate, potassium component (in sulfate form, since zucchini do not like chlorine), superphosphate. Proportions: 10 l, 20 g, 20 g, 40 g. The second feeding with the beginning of the formation of ovaries is carried out by organic matter in the form of a solution of mullein 1:10 or bird droppings - 1:15.
5. Pollination - an important prerequisite for fruiting. If there are few insects or they do not work actively enough, they need to be attracted and "interested". This is best done by spraying the zucchini with a 2% solution of honey.

   Pollination

   Flowering zucchini

Advice! The method of attracting pollinators No. 1 is to insist several male flowers of the plant on a weak sugar syrup for a day, and then spray the female flowers with the substance.

It is necessary to collect zucchini in a timely manner, aging, they lose useful elements, their skin and pulp become coarse. If you do not want to get into the book of garden records for growing the largest zucchini, harvest when the fruits reach 15 cm, and will be about 6 cm thick.For the entire growing season, one plant will give up to twenty zucchini, so fruits, even small ones, are more than enough until the next harvest.

Zucchini harvest

Zelentsy fruits remain for about two weeks. Then the skin coarsens, and they can be stored for five months in individual nets suspended from the ceiling or on straw, without contact with each other.
