Enkhuizen, The Netherlands
March 2012

During Ergon’s latest visit to Iran, it was early February, Ergon visited and observed its trials of new minicucumber varieties for wintercultivation in the Jiroft-area.

In spite of the very cold weather conditions the varieties of Ergon – ES 2870 F1 and ES 2871 F1 – are performing very well. Features of these two varieties:

• excellent tolerance against cold stress
• excellent fruit quality, a strong head and a balanced vegetation even during severe cold nights

The fruits are firm with a good colour. The fruits of ES 2870 F1 and ES 2871 F1 remain on length during the cold period.

Please have a look at the pictures below. Despite the extreme cold weather in January the plant is still open, nice and strong with a continuous production.
