Kiravia is a leading producer of {{wp|cucumbers}}, and the cultivation of this notoriously cool vegetable is widespread across various regions in Great Kirav, as well as overseas components of the Federacy and Collectivity. Cucumber cultivation in Great Kirav involves both open-field and {{wp|greenhouse}} production. Open-field cultivation is predominant, particularly in the warmer months and climes, while greenhouses are utilised to extend the growing season and ensure a more consistent yield throughout the year, by sheltering the frost-susceptible cucumber plant from the often chilly weather of Kiravian springs and autumns. In addition to greenhouses, farmers in Great Kirav commonly employ other modern agricultural practices, including the use of advanced irrigation systems and high-quality seeds to optimise cucumber production. The cultivation cycle typically begins in spring, with planting and harvesting occurring at specific intervals depending on the cucumber variety and intended use. Both slicing and pickling cucumbers are grown in Kiravia.<ref>Slicing cucumbers are often cultivated for fresh consumption, while pickling cucumbers are processed for the production of pickles.</ref> | |||
