When it comes to Polish cucumber seeds, then, most likely, they mean hybrids obtained in the process of long-term selection. They have increased resistance to temperature extremes, diseases and some types of parasites. Poland is famous for its achievements in the field of agricultural technology and the cultivation of vegetables. Let's try to figure out which Polish seeds are represented in our country, and which ones are most suitable for our climatic conditions.
General information about seeds from Poland
Poland supplies our country with ready-made, often hermetically packed seeds that do not require any additional processing. All that needs to be done with them is simply to plant them in the ground (or a greenhouse) and properly care for them. Recently, the so-called pelleted varieties of seeds are very popular in our country.
A pelleted seed variety from Poland is a type of hybrid cucumber that has undergone additional processing, as a result of which they acquire features that help them better withstand harsh climatic conditions, find nutrition in conditions of a poor soil composition and withstand the invasion of diseases. Most often, not large seeds are subjected to such a procedure, because the process itself significantly increases the size of the seed. Such seeds are much easier to plant in the ground, they are clearly visible in the garden (because they have bright colors) before they are sprinkled with a layer of earth.
An important advantage of pelleted seeds supplied from Poland is the fact that cucumbers do not need to be thinned at all.
Let's try to make out in more detail what the pelleted seed shell consists of. Firstly, it is worth noting that the coating itself is quite strong in consistency, which significantly increases the chances of germination. Secondly, the "armor" that covers the hybrid seed is also a breeding ground. After entering the moist soil, a complex of nutrients is activated in the shell, allowing the future bush to grow better and protect itself from diseases and pests.
What is the peculiarity of such seed treatment as conceived by Polish producers? Everything is quite simple: a seed planted in the ground already has the necessary growth potential (trace elements, nutrients), which can only be activated. In a successful scenario, the seedlings will be stronger, they will grow crowded and evenly. As soon as the seedlings appeared from the ground, the owner of the garden only needs to actively water them, and feed them, if necessary.
Why do you need abundant watering? The answer is obvious: to dissolve the shell of the seed, thereby starting the growth processes. It is worth noting that pelleted seeds, which mainly come to us from Poland, will help greatly save the energy and time of the one who cares for them. In addition to watering, they do not require active care.
The process of planting Polish hybrids is quite simple. You should not make any preliminary soaking, germinate seeds before planting, worry about temperature changes and fear that small sprouts may die.
Like most other hybrids, cucumbers grown from pelleted seeds have excellent characteristics: they are tasty, crunchy, without bitterness.They contain a complete list of vitamins and minerals, and besides, they can keep fresh for a long time after being harvested.
Let's analyze in more detail several varieties of seeds from Poland, and find out the distinctive features of each of them.
Snot F1
These cucumbers are one of the most popular mid-early flowering varieties. An important feature of the hybrid is a rather long fruiting period. Experienced summer residents say that Soplitsa is capable of bearing fruit until autumn, almost until frost. This Polish seed variety really has a strong resistance to temperature extremes (including night). In addition, this "European" is not susceptible to most of the diseases from which our classic seeds of the entire pumpkin family suffer so much.
Snot fruit can grow from 7 to 11 cm in length and under no circumstances tend to taste bitter. Even if the greenhouse grows out, it will not lose its presentation (not at all increasing in diameter), which will be appreciated by those summer residents who grow cucumbers for sale. The variety is perfect for pickling, as well as for preparing a wide variety of salads. Its use in pickles is limited only by imagination. The beginning of fruiting is in July, the last harvest can be obtained until the end of September. There is an increased resistance to both powdery and downy mildew.
Snot is supplied in a coated form. Each seed is covered with the thinnest protective layer that has a pinkish tint.
The shell contains a special protective ingredient, due to which a thin, invisible film is formed on the surface of the seed, which protects it from freezing until the moment the growth processes are activated. Each seed has an average size that does not differ much from the natural one. The protective coating activates the growth phase as soon as its upper layers dissolve in warm water from the first waterings.
This hybrid has been marked by many positive reviews, both at home and in our country. In addition, F1 Soplitz has won numerous awards, a complete list of which can be found on the manufacturer's website.
The cost of this variety of cucumbers is slightly higher than classic seeds. But in the end, given the high yields and many other benefits, purchasing a single packet of seeds may be more economical than buying and planting traditional, highly tended varieties.
Sremsky F1
Another Polish coated cucumber variety. One packet contains as many as 50 seeds, which is a very good indicator and allows you to grow a large yield.
Sremsky hybrid does not need any preliminary treatment, including thermal. These seeds can be planted immediately in the ground, waiting for the optimal time to start sowing.
On average, zelents ripen in 40-45 days. Some gardeners argue that the harvest can be obtained earlier, but rather this applies to the southern regions of our country. The hybrid is considered "female", has a fairly developed stem with sufficient width. The base of the stem is strong and strong. The first cucumbers are likely to grow cylindrical and have a bright greenish tint.
You can start harvesting gherkins immediately after the average fruit size reaches 8-10 (in rare cases 11) cm. For the most part, Sremsky has small fruits, their weight reaches 75-130 grams.
The hybrid is ideal for pickles, but all connoisseurs of fresh vegetables on the country table will no doubt appreciate its wonderful taste and aroma. Cucumbers can be used as an appetizer to other dishes, both separately and together with other vegetables - the taste is neutral, does not interrupt others. Can be used for conservation if desired.
This variety of cucumbers is bee-pollinated.Polish seeds have always been famous for their excellent quality and good yield. Sremsky can be safely recommended to all connoisseurs of hybrid cucumbers. The variety has a high yield and has won numerous thematic awards at many agricultural exhibitions.
Racibor F1
This cucumber hybrid is another result of Polish selection. Ratsibor has excellent characteristics that allow him to compete in yield with his fellows. The seeds perfectly tolerate any (even the most difficult) transportation conditions.
This type of cucumber belongs to the bee-pollinated species. It ripens quite early, although the results cannot be called record, rather, they can be described as average maturity. Ratsibor is perfect for both pickling and canning. Most often, this type of cucumber can be found in the beds of Moldova and Ukraine, since it loves a warmer climate, although, in theory, it can easily withstand even night frosts.
There is an increased resistance to the main types of diseases and pests, in particular, increased resistance to oversporosis.
The appearance of the fruit can be safely called "marketable", it is perfect for displaying on the counter, so that for those who grow cucumbers for sale, this variety is perfect. It is recommended to harvest the ripe fruit when it reaches 6-11 cm in length. The surface of the cucumber is covered with specific tubercles without thorns. The fruit is elongated (oblong) fusiform. The taste of Ratsibor is pleasant, crunchy, completely without bitterness. The average weight is about 65-100 grams.
As a rule, this variety is sown in March or April, less often in July (with a view to a late harvest). Harvesting can begin as early as May, and the last fruits ripen by October. It is highly discouraged to plant seeds if there is a possibility of night frosts, they really do not like this. The optimum soil temperature for planting is 13-15C.
The leaves of the bush are bright green, the lashes are well developed. The average fruiting result is from 40 to 50 days, depending on the average temperature of the air and soil. Racibor is a "female" type of cucumber. The maximum yield per square meter can be 11-12 kg.
Krak F1
Hybrid cucumbers are native to Poland. Reviews about this variety are mostly positive. A distinctive feature is a consistently high yield, most noted at the initial stage of ripening. The bushes are pollinated by bees; when ripe, they are considered medium early.
Krak is suitable for preparing salads, pickling and preserving. It takes root best in Ukraine and Moldova, but it can easily be found in the beds of the southern regions of Russia. The fruits have a pleasant moderate taste and excellent presentation. Disease resistance of the hybrid is also at a high level. In particular, resistance to scab, mosaic of cucumber and downy mildew is noted. The length of the greenery is 7-11 cm, the surface is covered with tubercles, has a cylindrical shape. The pulp of a cucumber is dense, medium viscosity, weight no more than 110 g.
Most of all Krak is suitable for sowing in open ground, but it also feels great in a greenhouse.
The sowing period is from April to May, the harvest begins in May, the last harvest is usually harvested in October, with the onset of the first severe frosts. The optimum soil temperature for planting is 9-11C. The bush is usually strong, deep green in color, with medium climbing. The crop is harvested on the 50-60th day after planting. Excellent characteristics (up to 10-11 kg of cucumbers per sq / m) of this variety of cucumbers helped it gain popularity in warm southern regions. Recently, gardeners of central Russia have also begun to pay attention to Krak.
Anulka F1
If you are looking for the best varieties of cucumbers from Poland, then check out this hybrid. Its main feature is a high degree of resistance to temperature extremes (including sudden and so frequent night frosts).
Anulka belongs to bee-pollinated hybrids with a medium early ripening period. This variety is best suited for canning and pickling. However, zelents are perfect for fresh consumption.
This type of cucumber is perfect for growing in central Russia and Ukraine. Cucumbers taste pleasant, crunchy and have no bitterness. The appearance meets all regulatory requirements, so Anulka can be safely grown for sale. Fruit length does not exceed 10 cm. Gherkins, as a rule, have a surface with moderate tuberosity, rich green color. The average weight of the fruit is about 70-120 grams.
Anulka is used for disembarkation both in the open field and in a greenhouse. Sowing is carried out in March and April (or in July, with an eye on the late harvest). Harvesting begins in May (early) and ends in October (last). The bush has a bright green color and is not very tall. Lateral shoots are formed very intensively. This variety of Polish cucumbers cannot boast of a record yield. But even the declared 4 kg from 1 sq / m is a very good indicator, given the unpretentiousness of the hybrid and its excellent resistance to weather conditions.
Anulka F1 seeds are more expensive than their classic, non-hybridized "predecessors", but if you take into account all the advantages of this cucumber variety, you will end up with a good economy.
Feature: this variety has a tendency to grow into thickness, so the collection must be carried out when the greens reach 6-9 cm in length.

Update…
Many summer residents and gardeners are interested in what is better to buy cucumber seeds in order to get an excellent harvest. Hybrid varieties of cucumbers are very popular today.
The hybrids were bred, thanks to the constant hard work of breeders, by crossing two varieties. At the same time, the newly formed variety receives only the best qualities from its predecessors.
They have the following characteristics:
- ease of growing,
- excellent taste,
- unpretentiousness to weather conditions and soil,
- resistance to diseases and pests,
- high productivity.
It should be noted that hybrid seeds are slightly more expensive. This is due to the fact that the work on crossing and breeding the variety is very laborious. They are done manually and last for several months.
Many summer residents and gardeners are interested in the question - is it necessary to pinch hybrid varieties of cucumbers? It is known that the main stem of simple non-hybrid cucumbers is pinched to prevent barren flowers, which most often form on the central whip. What about hybrids? Here, pinching is also not canceled. This procedure will form a good bush, and will stimulate the formation of new ovaries.
Why do hybrid varieties have F1 in their name?
Everyone who has bought hybrid varieties of cucumbers for cultivation probably knows that the F1 label is on the package next to the name.This indicates that the seeds that were taken for crossing belong to the first generation. It must be remembered that you cannot independently harvest the seeds of hybrid cucumbers for planting. They will not have the same properties as their predecessors. Most often, these seeds do not bear fruit at all.
How Do I Pick Good Hybrid Seeds?
Now there are a large number of hybrids that differ in taste, color, shape and other characteristics. In order to purchase the best hybrid varieties of cucumbers, it is necessary when buying to pay attention to whether this variety has passed the appropriate tests and is included in the state register. At the same time, the packaging should contain recommendations for growing a plant in a specific region.
Achieve the desired results when growing hybrid cucumbers is possible only if quality seeds are purchased.
Types of hybrid cucumbers
According to the method of pollination, hybrids are divided into 3 groups:
- Self-pollinated.
- Parthenocarpic varieties of cucumbers.
- Insect pollinated.
For good fruiting of insect pollinated cucumbers, bees or other insects are needed. They take a direct part in the pollination process. These varieties are well suited for open beds.
Cultivation of self-pollinated and parthenocarpic varieties of cucumbers can be carried out both in a greenhouse and in open soil. In hybrid self-pollinating cucumbers, the female and male flower is combined into a single flower (there is both a pistil and a stamen), so they can successfully self-pollinate.
What does parthenocarpic cucumber hybrid mean? Such a plant has only female flowers that do not require pollination at all. They bear fruit successfully and, accordingly, do not have seeds inside.
When buying hybrid seeds, consider where they will be grown. There are hybrid varieties of cucumbers for open ground, for the greenhouse, as well as universal ones. They are divided into several types:
- Winter... Such hybrids are grown year-round in heated greenhouses. They are characterized by large leaves and fruits (up to 35 cm), have a green tint and large tubercles. Used to prepare fresh salads. The best hybrid varieties of cucumbers that are grown in winter: F1 Courage, F1 Relay. Cucumbers "F1 Ladoga" are especially popular.
- Cold resistant... Suitable for open ground, they are harvested from mid-summer to autumn. In the first place, according to the reviews of summer residents, is the F1 Masha variety. Popular also "F1 Prestige", "F1 Farmer".
- Photophilous... Their ovaries are formed in a kind of bunches. These include: "F1 Arina", "F1 Hit of the Season".
- Early ripening... Such varieties give an excellent harvest within a month after germination. The common rooted varieties include "F1 Herman". “F1 Alphabet” is also very popular.
- For canning and salting... The fruits have a sweetish taste and hard skin. This group is represented by the widest assortment of varieties. Housewives celebrate the cucumbers "F1 Merengue", and "F1 Acorn" also enjoys positive reviews.
Thanks to the hard work of breeders, new hybrid cucumber varieties appear on the market every year, which allows you to choose the ideal option for yourself and get a good harvest.
