The MayFord F1 Hybrid Cucumber Zena is an exceptionally productive and disease-resistant variety, widely appreciated for its uniform fruit size and firm texture. It is best sown in rows, ensuring a spacing of 1.5 meters between plants and 30 cm between rows, and requires consistent moisture throughout the growing cycle.
Seedlings should be pressed down after sowing to encourage strong root development. Regular watering is essential, especially during flowering and fruiting stages. Harvesting begins approximately 60 days after planting, with fruits best picked at 12–15 cm in length to maximize yield and flavor.
To ensure continuous production, avoid allowing fruit to grow too large, as this may reduce the plant’s ability to produce further crops. This variety is ideal for garden beds or trellised growth, promoting easy harvesting and upright fruit development.
