Parameters of zucchini varieties

To grow an excellent harvest of zucchini on your plot, you need to know the subtleties of choosing seeds. It is worth paying attention to the main parameters of the varieties:

• Plant shape. Most of the species are bushy. This variety is easier to grow, but at the same time it requires a lot of space;
• Pollination. There are varieties that are pollinated by insects, and there are also self-pollinating varieties.
• Hybrid or original? Hybrids, as a rule, allow gardeners to harvest a more durable harvest. But only if we are talking about seeds of the first generation F. It is worth remembering that hybrid seeds are not suitable for re-sowing.
• Zucchini and zucchini are different vegetables from each other. Zucchini is juicier inside, and you can harvest more vegetables from one bush. Zucchini fruits can be stored for quite a long time. However, zucchini is more resistant to drying out and cold.

Classification

Zucchini is a healthy vegetable containing a large amount of minerals, useful macro- and microelements. This garden crop is hypoallergenic and low-calorie. They are grown in garden beds, greenhouses, and barrels.

Previously, people did not think about the variety of varieties of zucchini, since they collected seeds from their best fruits in the garden beds. Now breeders have developed many hybrids that differ in taste, ripening time, size, shape, color, and application.

According to the classification of varieties , zucchini differs by:

• ripening periods;
• method of planting;
• type of origin (hybrids, varieties);
• according to its intended purpose (for preservation, sale, preparation of caviar, use in raw form);
• characteristics of pollination (self-pollinated, bee-pollinated);
• productivity.

Attention! Bush zucchini has the highest yield.

Zucchini and zucchini: which is tastier and healthier?

What is the difference between zucchini and zucchini, are they the same thing or not? Both of these vegetables are a type of hard-skinned squash.

Zucchini is characterized by its small oblong shape and thin skin. It comes in black, yellow, green, and is 15 cm long.

Zucchini has an elongated shape. Their color varies from green, white and yellow. Their skin is tough. Dimensions reach 30 cm. If ripe fruits are not collected in a timely manner, their length may exceed the norm.

The difference between zucchini and zucchini is as follows:

There are differences in taste between zucchini and zucchini. The former are not consumed raw, but are subjected to heat treatment. Zucchini is often eaten raw due to its delicate flavor.

As for beneficial properties , both vegetables have the following qualities:

• low calorie content;
• beneficial effect on the gastrointestinal tract;
• a large number of macro- and microelements;
• reduce pressure (blood);
• improve metabolism;
• remove toxins, improve liver function;
• reduce cholesterol levels;
• slow down the aging process.

Important! Zucchini differs from zucchini in higher yield and juiciness of the fruit.

Which is better: variety or hybrid?

All vegetable seeds are divided into hybrid and varietal. Varietals include plants with the same genes. They are obtained by selecting the best crops.

When growing varietal zucchini, you always get plants that retain their varietal qualities during the growing process for 5-7 years. Subsequently, the seeds need to be renewed, as their characteristics may be lost.

Hybrids are obtained by one-time crossing of selected varieties. They are bred artificially. Seeds from hybrids are not collected, since they are unlikely to grow varietal vegetables next year.

What is better to choose: varietal or hybrid zucchini seeds?

Varietal vegetable crops:

• have a lower cost;
• give summer residents the opportunity to independently grow vegetables from collected seeds for the next season;
• not so demanding to care for.

The advantages of hybrids include:

• high yield (twice higher than that of varieties);
• fruiting even under the most unfavorable conditions;
• rapid ripening of fruits.

What to choose - a variety or a hybrid, each summer resident decides independently, based on his personal wishes, preferences and financial capabilities.

Rules for choosing varieties and seeds

When choosing planting material, it is important to determine the classification of this garden crop and set priorities correctly. What do you want to get: a large harvest, excellent taste, early or late fruit ripening?

Important! Regardless of the variety chosen, attention must be paid to the quality of the seeds.

When and how to plant zucchini seedlings in 2019 in the Moscow region

In general, the vegetable is not picky in the care and planting process, but you should still know the main stages of its development and what is necessary for them. Before planting zucchini of any variety for seedlings, it is recommended to familiarize yourself with the suitable dates for this procedure in 2022.

General timing of seed planting

When sowing seeds in a greenhouse, a box on a windowsill, or directly into the ground, there will be different times for germination and readiness of the crop for further growth. Since zucchini is a heat-loving vegetable, the following general rules for sowing seeds are recommended:

• in indoor conditions, planting material must be sown based on the variety and its ripening period, the sowing period is from March to May inclusive;
• in a greenhouse, sowing is permissible in mid-April, when the soil in it has already completely recovered from winter, and outside the air temperature is still low;
• You can sow in the ground no earlier than the end of May, when the soil has already warmed up and the air temperature does not drop below 10°C.

Before choosing a variety and sowing zucchini, you should look at the weather forecast for the current year in order to understand what spring will be like and how soon summer will come, because in the middle zone these indicators can vary from year to year.

Answers to frequently asked questions

Question No. 1. Which varieties are frost-resistant?

Cold-resistant hybrid Roller. This is a white-fruited variety with a yield of up to 9 kg. Tsukesha, Tender Zephyr, and Spaghetti are also frost-resistant.

Question No. 2. Which self-pollinating varieties should I choose for the Moscow region?

Self-pollinating varieties include Belogor, Beloplodny, White Swan and Apollo.

Question No. 3. What varieties of fruits last the longest?

All zucchini are well preserved; the fruits do not lose nutrients. It is worth noting that foreign hybrids with thin skin are unsuitable for long-term storage. It is better to choose the varieties Zheltoplodny, Roller, Gribovsky and Tsukesha. The fruits of these varieties have thick skin.

Question No. 4. How to deal with diseases and pests?

Don't wait for pests to appear or bushes to be damaged. For prevention, folk remedies are used, for example, sprinkling wood ash on the bushes. To prevent diseases, crops are treated with solutions of Zircon or Amulet preparations. For open ground, it is advisable to choose varieties with good resistance.

Aeronaut and Parthenon varieties are resistant to powdery mildew and viral diseases. The White, Long-fruited variety is resistant to almost all viral diseases. Iskander is resistant to powdery mildew and anthracosis. The Kavili variety is resistant to powdery mildew.

Question No. 5. How to care for crops in the central region?

To achieve high yields, you do not need special care for your crops. It is enough to loosen the soil, regularly water the bushes and feed the plants. Water once a week, per 1 square meter. will use 10 liters of water. Feed zucchini 2-3 times per season.

The best self-pollinating species

Seedlings produce both male and female flowers. In most cases, pollination occurs due to insects. If we are talking about growing vegetables in a greenhouse, then this type of pollination will not be possible.

The way out of the situation is self-pollinating parthenocarpic seedlings. These types of zucchini grow well not only in a greenhouse, but also in open ground.

Cavili

The main advantage of such a seedling is its high yield and early ripening period.

The fruits are light green in color. The average ripening time for vegetables is 1.5 months, and fruiting lasts two months without the participation of pollinators. The pulp of zucchini is white, juicy, and delicate in taste.

Jellyfish

This variety is very early. Seedlings can withstand frost and drought.

The varieties ripen in 35 days. The fruits are light green in color and have a soft skin. The average weight of a zucchini is 800 grams and its length is 25 centimeters.

Parthenon

This Dutch selection variety has cylindrical dark green fruits, thick skin and juicy pulp. A lot of zucchini plants are produced without pollination.

Parthenon is considered high-yielding, ideal for growing in a greenhouse.

The peel is dense, the flesh is juicy. This hybrid can be preserved and also consumed without heat treatment.

Conversion tables for Russian clothing sizes

Choosing suitable workwear that does not tighten or restrict movement, and does not look baggy is not an easy task. But it is much easier to cope with it if you study the size charts of clothing.

Overalls are necessary to protect workers from possible injuries and effects on the skin of substances with which they have to work. The correct size of the work uniform is important, since not only the comfort of the employee, but also the quality of performance of work duties depends on it.

We suggest you familiarize yourself with How often to wash workwear at an enterprise

When selecting the optimal size of women's work equipment, it is necessary to take into account some parameters:

• female breast circumference - it is determined by dividing the measurement result in half (for example, when the chest volume is 92 cm, the desired size is 46);
• hip girth;
• height - this parameter should be ideal, the maximum variation in size is no more than 3 cm up or down;
• girth at the narrowest part of the tummy (at the waist).

The parameters of work clothes are determined by GOST and are designed for the typical figure of a woman.

Choosing workwear for men involves the same dimensions as when choosing workwear for women. You will need to measure:

• height - be aware that the men's height scale is significantly different from the women's;
• chest and hip circumference;
• girth of the narrowest part of the abdomen (waist).

The parameters of work clothes for men are designed for the average figure and are determined by GOST.

Not all manufacturers use clothing labels that are common in Russia. To avoid any difficulties with purchasing workwear, the size of which is indicated in a different format, below is a table for converting clothing sizes.

You can determine the girth of a body part using an ordinary centimeter tailor's tape. To do this you need:

• measure the circumference of the chest along the most protruding parts, drawing a centimeter along the hollows of the armpits;
• measure your hips along the most protruding parts of your buttocks;
• Waist circumference is determined by the narrowest point;
• Height can be measured using a stadiometer.

Determining the weight of bed linen for washing

The automatic washing machine occupies one of the most important places among all household appliances in the house. It saves a lot of time spent on washing. However, in order to ensure high-quality and efficient operation of such an indispensable assistant, you should pay close attention to a very important characteristic - the maximum and minimum load of products.

We suggest you familiarize yourself with Setting the temperature in a Samsung No Frost refrigerator

All recommendations indicating the weight of bed linen for washing are included in the instructions for the equipment. If these rules are not followed, the clothes will be washed poorly, and the machine itself will be subject to overload and rapid wear.

In this article we will introduce you to the relative weight calculation of some products, in particular, bed linen (plaid, sheet, blanket).

Important! Of course, it is not very convenient to weigh things before washing every time, and 100-200 grams of excess or missing laundry does not play a special role. We recommend writing and sticking a table on the side wall of the equipment indicating the average weight of various items.

Many washing machines can weigh things on their own, but if your washing machine does not have this function, then use the following data.

The approximate weight of the bedding set is 1.5-2 kg. More precise information is presented in the table. Weight suggested for a set made of calico type fabric:

• Children's set with one pillowcase - 1200 g.
• 1.5 bedroom - 1580 g.
• 2 bedroom - 1860
• Euro - 2340

Using this table, you can easily load the washing machine “by eye” without fear of overload. If the maximum loading weight of the washing machine is 5 kg, then you can also add a couple of pajamas or towels to any set.

Important! A satin set will weigh even less.

If you want to wash not the entire set, but its individual components, then read the following information.

• Duvet cover - 800 g.
• Bed sheet - 600 g.
• Pillowcase - 200 g.
• A double bedding set weighs 1800 g.

When washing things, it is very important to ensure that the weight and mode of the items being laid are correct. For example, if the washing machine is designed for a load of 5 kg, then this is the maximum weight for the “Cotton” mode.

But more gentle modes require fewer things:

• If you need to wash items made of silk or wool, their weight should not exceed 1.5 kg.
• For synthetic products, load no more than 3 kg.

All this data must be indicated in the instruction manual.

The first step has been taken. The type and material of the product are determined. Now it’s easy to find out how heavily the washing equipment will be loaded. The table will help with this.
