High-yielding English cucumber with exceptional fruit quality

• Uniform, dark green, high-quality fruit, 32 - 40cm long.
• Short internodes and high yield potential.
• Horizontally orientated, dark green leaves.
• Strong disease resistance.
• Less vigorous plant for optimal light penetration.

Type:
Long greenhouse English cucumber.

Plant Characteristics:
BELLO is a very early maturing variety with a highly productive low vigour, dark green plant that can produce premium quality fruit and high yields within a short cycle. BELLO has polygenic plant resistance against Cucurbit Yellow Stunting Disorder Virus. BELLO produces plants with shorter internodes, smaller side shoots and darker, smaller leaves with horizontal orientation. This growth habit allows optimal light penetration and effective disease control while maintaining high yields.

Fruit Characteristics:
BELLO produces long, dark green and moderately ribbed fruit with no neck. Fruit length can be regulated by allowing an extra lateral to develop, i.e., by setting more fruit. Fruit length is +/- 32 - 40 cm.

Disease Resistance:
IR: Ccu (Cladosporium cucumerinum) PM (Powdery Mildew), CVYV (Cucumber Vein Yellowing Virus) CYSDV (Cucurbit Yellow Stunting Disorder Virus).

Adaption:
Greenhouse production from early to late summer.

Yield Potential:
BELLO has short internodes and produces high yields of high-quality fruit.

Plant Population:
18,000 to 22,000 plants per ha.

Features & Benefits:
BELLO can produce high yields of long, high-quality, dark green fruit. BELLO’s slightly less vigorous plant with dark green horizontally orientated leaves allows optimal light penetration, while maintaining high yields and allowing effective disease control.
