The resistance of the Yakor variety zucchini to short-term drops in air temperature in May and September facilitates plant care, prolongs the growing season and fruiting of the bush. Seedlings under film shelters are planted from the first days of May in central Russia.
The drought resistance of the Yakor variety makes it the favorites of summer residents, who visit the site only on weekends. Zucchini is not picky about growing conditions, but lack of attention when caring for a plant affects the quality of the fruit and early maturity.

Zucchini varieties Anchor are sown for seedlings in the first half of April (depending on the climatic characteristics of the region). The planting of mature plants is carried out 20-30 days after germination, in the 4-leaf phase, until the seedlings have outgrown.
Double selection of seeds of squash variety Yakor aims to reject initially small, then half-empty seeds that float in a saline solution, they will not give viable plants. The fruits of the Yakor zucchini variety are rich in seeds, there are plenty to choose from.
Forcing seedlings of squash varieties Yakor
The pickled seeds of the Anchor variety are planted in a combined soil: the peat soil for seedlings has an acidic reaction, and it is not suitable for zucchini. A mixture of peat-based seedling soil with garden compost, deoxidized chalk or weathered lime will create the proper conditions for the development of squash seedlings.
Shoot picking is carried out at the stage of cotyledon leaves. After transplanting, it is advisable to feed the seedlings with a solution of nitrogen fertilizers to enhance the development of plants. The mini-greenhouse is no longer closed - the zucchini is pre-hardened.
Planting zucchini in the ground
Bush squash of the productive variety Anchor deserve attention when preparing the ridges. An effective device from the fall of warm ridges is the introduction of a layer of grass and foliage under the fertile soil layer with a thickness of at least 10 cm. Digging over a layer of foliage is less laborious. The formation of compost will be delayed, there will be no heating of the bedding, but the aeration of the soil will improve.
The holes are prepared free, taking into account the filling of 50% of the volume with fresh compost before planting.Early planting of seedlings or sowing zucchini seeds Anchor obliges the gardener to protect the plants with covering material under the arches until the course of daily temperatures stabilizes.
Zucchini of the Yakor variety is a moisture-loving culture, drying of the roots responds negatively to the harvest, therefore, we carry out moisture-charging watering before planting. We mulch the soil of the holes, and on the dried soil we carry out loosening in order to slow down the evaporation of moisture from the root horizons of the soil of the bush.
Harvesting
So that once every 2-3 days, strong zucchini from the bush fall on the table and in cans with conservation, in addition to evening watering of the plant, you will have to feed it with aqueous solutions of mineral fertilizers and mullein infusions after 3 weeks. Foliar dressing of plants with a sprayer is carried out twice as often.
The fallout of cold August dews inhibits the growth of zucchini fruits. Concerns about the safety of the crop appear. Under the fruits of the Anchors lying on the ground, you will have to put strips of non-woven material or a handful of pine needles so that the fruits do not rot.
