Japanese breeders from Sakata have developed a high-yielding hybrid variety of yellow-fruited squash. Zucchini F1 Yasmin is a medium-early ripening plant for cultivation in greenhouses and open ground. In Russia, the variety is distributed by Gavrish, the largest supplier of seeds to the domestic market.

Cultivation agricultural technology
Zucchini seeds of the Yasmin variety in a bag of unusual blue color - pickled, do not need additional protection. The crop is planted in the ground with seeds and seedlings when the temperature of the soil layer at a palm depth reaches +12 degrees. Seedlings aged 20–30 days or hatched seeds are planted in prepared holes Ø 40–50 cm, 10 cm deep.
The acid reaction of the soil for Yasmin F1 zucchini is preferably neutral or slightly alkaline. Before planting seedlings, add a bucket of humus or compost to the hole, dig it up and spill it with plenty of water. After planting, the hole is mulched with 2–3 cm of compost. If it is necessary to deoxidize the soil, crushed chalk, lime, and dolomite are added.
If the ridge is covered with an opaque film, crosswise slits are made for seedlings and zucchini sprouts. Seedlings that emerged in the 1st–2nd decade of April need extensive shelter under arches. On cool nights the plant will not get too cold, and during the day the bush is hardened with the covering material removed, the soil does not dry out. Yasmin variety zucchini does not tolerate shade well.

Watering degree | Abundant - the plant is moisture-loving |
Soil requirements | Light fertilized soils. Ph neutral, slightly alkaline |
Lighting requirements | The plant tolerates shading painfully |
Features of fetal ripening | Early harvest - overripe fruits are prone to cracking |
Watering and fertilizing
During the development of the Yasmin bush, before the start of fruiting, the zucchini is watered moderately: 2–3 liters per plant, with loosening after the top layer of soil has dried. The fruiting plant is watered twice as much. Evening watering is preferable: the moisture is completely absorbed into the soil. When watering from a watering can, the roots and leaves of the plant absorb moisture. On hot days, water consumption for irrigation increases. At the end of the growing season, watering is reduced; a week and a half before harvesting the bushes, zucchini stops watering.
When digging up the soil in the autumn, organic fertilizers are applied to the zucchini - in loose soil, the roots of the Yasmin variety of zucchini develop actively. During the growing season, fertilizing is carried out once every 3 weeks. Aqueous solutions of mineral fertilizers alternate with infusions of mullein and bird droppings. Plant development and fruit growth are stimulated by watering with a slight addition of a week-long infusion of weeds.
Regular foliar feeding at intervals of 1.5–2 weeks is more effective than root feeding. Depleted solutions of nitrogen fertilizers for spraying the leaves of fruiting zucchini are prepared for single use. Excessive use of nitrogen fertilizers threatens the accumulation of nitrates in fruits.
Supplies for the winter
Before the end of the season, zucchini bushes of the Yasmin variety are prepared for harvesting fruits for storage without processing. Watering stops. Flowers, ovaries, small fruits are removed. Leave 2-3 zucchini fruits of the correct shape on the bush, without damage. September and August are rich in morning dew, which can lead to fruit rotting.
Experienced gardeners add pine and spruce needles under the zucchini bushes when the first ovaries appear. The fruits practically do not touch the ground on a blown resinous litter. When loosening, dry needles remain on the soil surface. After digging, it does not decompose in the soil for a long time, being a natural conductor of air and moisture to the roots of the bush.
The early ripening, high yield, culinary characteristics of fresh fruits and canned zucchini of the Yasmin variety have made the variety popular. Enthusiastic reviews from gardeners are contributing to the spread of yellow-sided Japanese Yasmin F1 in Russian beds.
