Thanks to extended fruiting, Furor F1 cucumbers produce a high yield. Up to 7 kg of fruits are harvested from one plant. Productivity of the variety per 1 sq. m of planting will be from 20 kg or more.
The yield of cucumbers is positively affected by care: the supply of moisture, fertilizers, pinching shoots. Access to sunlight and soil fertility are also of great importance.
The Furor F1 variety is parthenocarpic. Cucumbers do not require bees or other pollinators to form ovaries. Productivity remains high when growing the hybrid in a greenhouse and open ground.
Resistance to pests and diseases
Cucumbers need additional protection from pests. The most dangerous to plants are aphids, mole crickets, wireworms, spider mites, and thrips. To combat pests, folk remedies are used: wood ash, tobacco dust, wormwood infusions. If insects cause serious damage to plantings, then insecticides are used.

Growing rules
According to the description of the variety and reviews, Furor cucumbers are grown in seedlings. This method is suitable for regions with recurrent frosts. The use of seedlings also increases the period of fruiting. In warm climates, seeds are planted directly in open ground.
Sowing time
Seeds are planted for seedlings in March-April. The planting material is not heated; it is enough to soak it for 20 minutes in a solution of a growth stimulator. For planting, prepare peat humus tablets or other nutrient soil. The containers are chosen to be small; one seed is placed in each of them. A thin layer of soil is poured on top and watered.
Cucumber shoots appear in warm weather. Therefore, they are covered with paper and left in a dark place. When the seeds germinate, they are moved to the window. Moisture is added as the soil dries. After 3 - 4 weeks, the plants are transferred to a permanent place. The seedlings should form 3 leaves.
For Furor F1 cucumbers, seeds can be planted directly into a greenhouse or open ground. Then the work is carried out in May-June, when the frosts have passed. If there is still a possibility of cold weather, the plantings are covered with agrofibre at night.
Selecting a location and preparing beds
Cucumbers prefer sunny places not exposed to winds. Be sure to prepare a trellis: a wooden frame or metal arches. The shoots will rise along them as they grow.
Cucumbers of the Furor F1 variety require fertile, drained soil with a low nitrogen concentration. If the soil is acidic, liming is done. The crop grows best in a substrate consisting of peat, humus, turf and sawdust in a ratio of 6:1:1:1.
Beds for cucumbers of the Furor F1 variety are prepared in the fall. The soil is dug up and fertilized with compost. The height of the beds is at least 25 cm.
How to plant correctly
When planting seeds of the Furor F1 variety, 30 - 35 cm are immediately left in the ground between the plants. To facilitate further care, the planting material is not buried in the soil, but covered with a layer of earth 5 - 10 mm thick. Then the soil is watered abundantly with warm water.
The procedure for planting cucumber seedlings Furor F1:
- First, make holes 40 cm deep. Leave 30 - 40 cm between plants. Per 1 sq. m plant no more than 3 plants.
- Compost is poured into each hole, then a layer of ordinary soil.
- The soil is well watered.
- Plants are transferred to the holes along with an earthen ball or peat tablet.
- The roots of the cucumbers are covered with soil and compacted.
- 3 liters of water are poured under each bush.
Aftercare for cucumbers
Cucumbers of the Furor F1 variety are watered every week. 4 - 5 liters of water are poured under each bush. To ensure better absorption of moisture, be sure to loosen the soil. During the flowering period, you can water cucumbers more often - every 3 - 4 days.
At the beginning of summer, cucumbers are fed with mullein infusion in a ratio of 1:10. 3 liters of fertilizer are poured under each plant. At the beginning of fruiting, superphosphate and potassium salt are used. The consumption of substances per 10 liters of water is 30 g. Between fertilizing, an interval of 2 - 3 weeks is made. This has a positive effect on the development of cucumbers by adding wood ash.
Forming a bush will help you get a high yield. When the main shoot reaches 2 m, its top is pinched. At the bottom, all flowers and shoots are removed. 6 lateral shoots 30 cm long are left on the plant. When they grow to 40 - 50 cm, they are also pinched.
Conclusion
Cucumber Furor F1 is a domestic variety that has become widespread due to its characteristics. It is distinguished by early ripening and universal purpose of the fruit. When growing cucumbers, it is important to choose the right place for planting and constantly care for them.
