Couverture limitée
Concombre
Cucumis sativus
Une liane annuelle de saison chaude cultivée pour ses fruits croquants et verts consommés crus ou en conserve — les types à trancher (longs, à peau lisse) et les types à confire (courts, à peau bossue) diffèrent par le choix du cultivar plutôt que par la biologie de l'espèce. Monoïque et dépendant des abeilles pour la nouaison (sauf les cultivars parthénocarpiques sans pépins). NC State souligne explicitement les chrysomèles du concombre comme le principal ravageur — elles sont vecteurs du flétrissement bactérien (Erwinia tracheiphila), qui est la maladie dévastatrice par excellence du concombre.

Cold hardiness
Future
This plant is grown as an annual; hardiness zones don't apply.
Heat tolerance
Future
Heat tolerance values are location-based too: heat days today are observed at this site, and the 2050 value projects this same location under a future climate.
