When choosing seeds in a store, do you focus only on the variety and the image on the packaging?
This is clearly not enough! There is other very important information on the package.
We are talking about a code consisting of two types of symbols - letters and numbers.
There is no need to think that these data mean nothing. On the contrary, they can tell a gardener a lot, emphasizes the expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", scientist-agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh .
What do the letters on the seed packet mean?
The designation "F" indicates that the seeds are hybrid.
The presence of the letter S on the seed packaging indicates the "elite" nature of cucumber seeds. In general, their very high quality.
Do numbers matter?
Yes, they are important. Because the number on the seed packet is the generation number.
"One" indicates that the generation is the first.
But a “two” indicates that the gardener has a packet of second-generation seeds in his hands.
