What is this kind of zucchini and how did he manage to win such popularity in the shortest possible time?

Kavili F1 tavern: features

Being quite close "relatives" of a pumpkin, in the course of evolution zucchini inherited a lot of useful properties from it, but they were able to get rid of the specific taste that was not liked by everyone.

Just like potatoes, zucchini are almost universal food that can be boiled, stewed, dried and fried. Doctors advise to eat zucchini almost with any diet, as they are well tolerated by the body and almost do not cause allergies. Few people know that the seeds of overripe zucchini can be eaten, as well as pumpkin, because they contain a huge amount of vitamin E, as well as other useful substances.

The cultivar called "Kavili F1" is a hybrid created under the guidance of genetic scientists. Thanks to this, this kind of zucchini has a lot of advantages, making its cultivation simple and effective.

"Kavili" courgettes of traditional color are light green with pale flesh. As a rule, they are cylindrical and small in size - sixteen to twenty two centimeters, which is quite convenient when assembling them, as well as further processing. The fruits of "Kavili" zucchini never exceed the weight of 300-500 g. It is noteworthy that even if overripe, the fruits of this variety retain a pleasant taste and do not harden.

The main advantages of this variety

One of the main advantages that zucchini possesses in this variety is their precocity. So, after 40-45 days from the moment of planting, the seeds of "Kavili" courgettes give fruit. And the plant continues to bear fruit for several months.

Another important advantage that "Kavili" has is the fact that the plant has the appearance of a bush. This feature is important for saving space and is perfect for those with a limited amount of land. Also, the variety is ideal for growing in greenhouses.

Another plus of this kind of zucchini is that it is capable of self-pollination, as both male and female inflorescences grow on one bush. Therefore, even in the most unfavorable weather, "Kavili" marrows will still please the harvest.

How do the courgettes of this variety multiply?

You can plant such zucchini as if you were directly sowing seeds in the ground (they should be soaked for a few hours in slightly warm water, and then wrapped in wet gauze after 24 hours), and in the form of sprouted seedlings.

When planting cabbage seedlots "Kavili" it is necessary to cover the shoots, giving them time to acclimatize.

How to care for a plant?

"Kavili" courgettes are unpretentious in their care and slightly susceptible to plant diseases. However, it is not worthwhile to plant them near the patissons, and also in an insufficiently lit place. The main enemies of this variety are poor lighting and too much planting. When the courgette bushes become cramped, they bear fruit worse. The same applies to lighting: the less light a zucchini receives, the worse its yield. In rare cases, large leaves of the bush can shade the plant themselves, so it is necessary to monitor this and, if necessary, remove such leaves.

The ideal temperature for "Kavili" courgetts is twenty degrees, and if there is a cooling, the plant should be covered, otherwise it will begin to bear fruit much later.

You can not water the courgettes of this variety with cold water, the optimum temperature for watering is twenty degrees. Watering is necessary, pouring liquid around the stalk, and not under the root or from above. The required water norm for one watering is up to ten liters per one square meter. "Kavili" tavern (photo below) perfectly tolerates drought, but with a lack of moisture, its leaves begin to dry and the plant fructifies worse.

He also needs feeding during his growth. Nitrofoska and complex mineral fertilizers, wood ash and manure are well suited. Optimal to produce three top-dressing: the first before the flowering zucchini, the second - in the flowering period, and the third - at the time of ripening of the fruit.

When to collect and how to store?

The first fruits appear only a month and a half after planting. They must be ripped apart without waiting for a ripening. Although "Kavili" marrows do not lose their wonderful taste qualities in case of overgrown fetus. However, one should not allow this, because the load on the whole plant is increasing and it does not have enough resources to fully bear fruit.

If there is no possibility of preserving, drying or freezing zucchini, they can be stored as pumpkins. But it is worth remembering that due to long storage the taste of zucchini is able to vary.

Zucchini, laid aside for preservation, it is necessary to cut it to frost. It is important to leave a cut-down zucchini five to seven centimeters long. In no case can not wash such zucchini, and if they were collected during wet weather, they should be well dried.

In the presence of a cellar, zucchini is best dried by spreading on wooden shelves. Although the best option - wrap in a grid and hang, and each fruit separately. Another important thing is the absence of light, otherwise the seeds in the zucchini will sprout, and the fruit itself will lose its flavor qualities.

In the apartment zucchini can be stored in pantry or on the balcony, previously wrapped paper. You can also keep it in the fridge, but not more than a month.

"Kavili" squash: reviews

This variety appeared in our gardens only a few years ago, but I already fell in love with the majority of summer residents and truck farmers. On the forums there are only positive reviews. Its main advantage is its compactness and fertility. So, for example, with proper care of just two cabbage courgettes, "Kavili" fruits are harvested enough for a family of three. In this case, truck farmers note that in the winter without freezing this hybrid is not kept very well.

Most planted the variety of "Kavili" to get early zucchini already in the middle of June, and also for sunsets. For storage, later and better tolerated storage of the variety occurs.

Despite its comparative "youth", "Kavili" marrows are gaining more and more admirers with confidence, and it is likely that in a few years this variety will become traditional for our kitchen gardens and dachas.
