Semillas Fito continues to add new varieties to their 2012-2013 catalogue in the segment of cucumber, always taking care that all of their varieties have very dark colour, high quality and with an unbeatable postharvest quality. The highlighted novelty for this campaign is the Mitre variety, a Dutch cucumber which improves its production with heat. Mitre is a variety that has a high tolerance to yellowing, the yellow vein and powdery mildew, responding to the needs of farmers.
Mitre is a short internode plant, with a small and dark blade, well suited to early plantings with heat. In addition, it produces high quality fruit that offers producers, the distribution process and the final consumer, a ribbed cucumber and of uniform length, standing out for its high quality regrowth, which allows a longer cycle.
A part from this new variety, Semillas Fitó also offers alternatives for cucumber producers such as Solero and Benito. Solero is a plant also has a high tolerance to yellowing and lengthens the cycle, because their quality regrowth it also keeps the shape of the fruit, the length and dark colour during the entire crop. These features are critical for farmers because it ensures that at the weakest phase, which is in the regrowth when the cucumber normally has low quality, it has fruit which always gives the feeling of belonging to a new crop, as it keeps perfectly ribbed fruit.
Finally, Benito is a variety suitable for short cycles, highly productive and the fruit is dark and grooved, so it is perfectly suited for the market's requirements.
