Cucumber
At GCS Seeds we provide a premium cucumber seed portfolio tailored for commercial growers in the European B2B market. Our varieties are selected for excellent fruit quality, reliable yields and strong resistance traits — suited for both open-field and greenhouse production systems.
Key Features
- Botanical Name: Solanum lycopersicum — the globally cultivated tomato plant.
- Adapted for high-performance open-field or protected cultivation, with varieties available in determinate and indeterminate growth habits to suit different production systems.
- Fruit quality emphasised: uniform shape, deep red colour, firm flesh for efficient handling and extended shelf life.
- Robust built-in resistance package to common tomato diseases and stresses, enhancing crop reliability.
Varieties & Performance Highlights
- Sowing & Transplanting: Start seeds in nursery, then transplant seedlings when stable warm temperature conditions are reached; avoid direct sowing where possible for best results.
- Growth Habit: Support vines where needed (especially indeterminate types) to maintain airflow, optimize light penetration and reduce disease risk.
- Crop Care: Use balanced fertilisation and maintain consistent soil moisture — avoid water-logging. Keeping foliage dry helps in disease prevention.
- Harvest & Handling: Harvest fruits when fully coloured and firm. The varieties we offer are selected for good shelf life and transport resilience.
