PARAS is an F1 Hybrid parthenocarpic cucumber developed for early production, vigorous growth and high-quality uniform fruits.
Parthenocarpic cucumbers can develop fruits without pollination, making PARAS particularly useful for greenhouse, tunnel and protected cultivation where pollinating insects may be limited.
Plants develop vigorous climbing vines and produce attractive dark green, glossy cucumbers with a firm, crisp texture.
The variety is valued for early maturity and continuous fruit production under suitable growing conditions.
Regular harvesting helps maintain continued flowering and fruit development.
Exact fruit size, maturity and yield may vary according to temperature, soil fertility, watering, crop management and growing system.
PARAS cucumbers are especially suitable for:
Harvest fruits while they are green, firm and tender for the best texture and eating quality.
G-12 Grow Bag – 12 × 12 inch 🔗
Suitable for one PARAS cucumber plant when trained vertically.
G-15 P Grow Bag – 15 × 14 inch 🔗
Provides additional root space and helps maintain stable moisture during rapid vine growth.
G-24 Grow Bag – 24 × 12 inch 🔗
Suitable for approximately two cucumber plants with adequate spacing and a strong trellis.
Cucumber vines grow rapidly and benefit from adequate soil volume, particularly during flowering and heavy fruit production.
Use fertile, loose and well-drained soil rich in organic matter.
A practical GREEN GARDENS mix can be:
50% Bhalu Mitti (Sandy Soil) + 50% Vermicompost 🔗
PARAS cucumber performs best in fertile soil that holds adequate moisture while allowing excess water to drain freely.
Regular organic matter helps support vigorous vine growth and continuous fruiting.
Seeds can be sown directly into the final growing position or started in individual seedling cells.
Sow approximately:
2–2.5 cm deep
Cover lightly with fine soil or growing medium.
Direct sowing works particularly well in prepared grow bags, beds and tunnel rows.
Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.
Seeds generally germinate within:
7–10 days
at approximately:
22°C–28°C
Warm soil encourages stronger and more uniform seedling emergence.
Provide approximately:
6–8 hours of direct sunlight daily
Adequate sunlight supports vigorous vine development and good fruit production.
In protected cultivation, ensure plants also receive good airflow and ventilation.
If started in nursery cells, transplant seedlings when they have approximately:
2–3 true leaves
Handle cucumber roots carefully and avoid unnecessary root disturbance.
Water thoroughly after transplanting.
Maintain approximately:
30–45 cm between plants
when trained vertically on a trellis.
Adequate spacing improves airflow and helps maintain healthy foliage.
PARAS cucumber performs particularly well with vertical training.
Provide:
Guide young vines gently onto the support system.
Vertical training improves airflow, fruit appearance and ease of harvesting.
A major advantage of PARAS F1 is its parthenocarpic habit.
This means fruits can develop:
Without pollination
Therefore, the variety is particularly useful for:
Unlike ordinary cucumber varieties, fruit production does not depend entirely on bee pollination.
Maintain consistent soil moisture throughout the crop cycle.
Water requirements increase during:
Avoid repeated cycles of severe drying followed by heavy watering.
Do not allow the root zone to remain waterlogged.
Before sowing or transplanting, incorporate GREEN GARDENS Vermicompost 🔗.
During active fruiting, balanced supplementary feeding can support continuous production.
Avoid excessive nitrogen because overly lush foliage can reduce balanced fruit production.
Apply a light organic mulch around established plants.
Mulching helps:
Keep mulch slightly away from the main stem.
Inspect plants regularly for common cucumber problems such as:
Provide good airflow around plants and avoid unnecessary prolonged leaf wetness.
Remove severely affected foliage where required.
Harvest cucumbers while fruits are:
Dark green, firm, glossy and tender
PARAS is an early-producing hybrid and, under suitable growing conditions, harvesting may begin approximately:
40–50 days after sowing.
Check plants frequently during peak production.
Regular harvesting encourages continued fruiting and prevents fruits from becoming oversized.
