The best varieties of greenhouse cucumbers

When choosing varieties of cucumbers for growing in greenhouses and greenhouses, you need to pay attention to several parameters. All of them have an impact on the final result - the harvest. Below we will consider the features of selection, and also give the best varieties of cucumbers for greenhouses for 2017-2018 according to gardeners' reviews.

Indoors, 3 groups of modern varieties can develop normally:

1. Hybrids with 100% parthenocarp (fully self-pollinated) are the most successful option.
2. Hybrids of the female type of flowering (with a predominance of female flowers) are more suitable for semi-open greenhouses; it is advisable to plant several bushes with male flowers to them (for better pollination).
3. Chinese variety - hybrid and varietal (non-hybrid) forms. They tolerate temperature contrasts very well. Appointment - mainly salad.

Is it possible to plant different varieties of cucumbers in one greenhouse? Experienced vegetable growers answer this question in the affirmative. It is not recommended to give preference to only one variety, for reliability it is better to plant at least 2-3, from different companies.

Benefits of hybrid greenhouse cucumbers

Selection factors for specific varieties:

• We purchase seeds only from the most reliable companies.
• Almost all modern hybrids do not taste bitter, and this feature is not always mentioned on labels now, this is implied by itself. Bitterness can appear in old varieties or in vegetables from unscrupulous producers.
• Pay attention to the timing of the return of the crop: fast and friendly or extended.
• We calculate in advance the required amount of salad and gherkins.
• The degree of bumpiness ("shirt") is a matter of personal taste. Breeders offer many different options.
• If it is not possible to pay much attention to planting, cucumbers with restrained lateral branching that do not require shaping will help out (these also exist now).
• There are special hybrids for shaded areas.
• Preference should be given to forms with maximum resistance to various infections.

It should be remembered that modern breeding has achieved tremendous success in the field of disease resistance of cucumbers, but they are still susceptible to attacks by insect pests (greenhouse whitefly, spider mites, melon aphids, etc.).

Reviews of gardeners about cucumbers for greenhouses for 2017-2018

For cultivation in a greenhouse, it is recommended to choose parthenocarpic (in which fruit ovaries pass without pollination) or self-pollinated cucumber varieties.

This will allow you not to worry about attracting bees to the greenhouse by additional replanting of flower plants or spraying cucumbers with infusions of honey or jam.

According to their purpose, cultivated cucumbers can be divided into:

• salad;
• salting;
• universal.

We will define in each of these categories the varieties that received the best reviews from specialists and gardeners in 2017.

The best salad varieties

Cucumbers intended for fresh consumption should be slightly sweet in taste, without bitterness, tender and crunchy. According to many reviews, the following hybrid varieties have such qualities:

• Courage F1;
• Martha F1;
• Tsarsky F1;
• Orlik F1.

“Yielding, very tasty cucumbers”, “Do not get sick, all summer with cucumbers” are typical statements about these varieties.

The best varieties for pickling

For pickling, cucumbers with a dense consistency, small sizes and with a skin that does not prevent the penetration of salt into the fruit are better suited. According to reviews, the following varieties and hybrids fully meet these requirements:

• Vyaznikovsky;
• Altai;
• Great F1;
• Moscow dude F1.

“Beautiful, even fruits”, “Pickled cucumbers turned out to be firm and crispy, very tasty” - these are the impressions consumers share about these varieties.

The best universal varieties

Cucumbers of these varieties should be good to eat both fresh and after heat treatment (canning). Many good reviews received such varieties as:

• Finger boy F1;
• Moravian gherkin F1;
• Northerner;
• Blessed F1.

The list of these wonderful varieties is far from being exhausted. In each of the categories of cucumbers (salad, pickling, universal) there are other good varieties that are in no way inferior to those listed.

Additional recommendations for choosing a variety of cucumbers for greenhouses

For cultivation in a greenhouse, it is better to opt for hybrids (often also called hybrid varieties). Their main advantage over traditional varieties is that they are resistant to all types of diseases.

This is especially important for greenhouses, in which greenhouse (sorry for the tautology) conditions are created not only for the cultivated crop, but also for various fungal diseases and pathogenic bacteria.

This stability, coupled with high yields and ease of maintenance, fully compensates for the increased costs of seeds. To distinguish a hybrid variety from a regular variety, seed producers add the combination F1 after its name.

Good harvests to you!

The best varieties of cucumbers for greenhouses

In greenhouses, it is best to grow cucumber hybrids with shortened lateral whips that do not require formation, that is, you do not need to pinch the lateral shoots. I usually form cucumbers in order to prevent thickening, due to which the harvest of cucumbers falls, in addition, the risk of stem rot and powdery mildew increases, which is not so easy to cure later.

All varieties and hybrids of cucumbers are divided according to the ripening period: early ripening (early), mid-ripening, late-ripening.And according to the method of pollination on: pollinated by insects and parthenocarpic (self-pollinating).

Self-pollinating cucumber varieties

If you want to have the earliest fresh cucumbers on the table, then opt for self-pollinated varieties. After all, we usually plant early cucumbers in a greenhouse, since there are no insects in April in the middle lane yet, that is, there is no one to pollinate the flowers.

Self-pollinating varieties of cucumbers give high yields. And the hybrids are unpretentious and practically not susceptible to diseases, moreover, there is no particular trouble with them with the formation of a bush.

In order to get a decent harvest of cucumber crops in a temperate climate with unpredictable weather changes, it is better to use the cultivation of cucumbers in greenhouses or greenhouses. From the variety of seeds, it is quite difficult to choose those that are suitable for certain weather conditions. If the gardener is experienced, then it will not be difficult for him to select seed material for his site, but for beginners it will be quite difficult to do this. This article lists the best varieties of cucumbers for greenhouses, as well as a description of their advantages and disadvantages, which will greatly facilitate the choice for those who have just started their gardening activities.

Peculiarities

For cultivating cucumbers in greenhouses, the following are best suited:

• self-pollinated varieties;
• parthenocarpic varieties.

Pollination methods

It is difficult enough to attract pollinating insects into confined spaces.For better setting, it is important to use species that pollinate themselves or set fruits without pollination.

Many believe that parthenocarpic and self-pollinated varieties are one and the same. But there is still a difference. For parthenocarpic plant species, female-type flowering is characteristic. Fruiting in this case occurs without a pollination process, and such fruits do not have seeds.

Self-pollinated species have flowers of both female and male types, due to which self-pollination occurs.

Cucumber growth phases

Suitable for greenhouses:

• varietal seeds;
• hybrids.

Having grown a crop from seeds of the first type, you can get seed material, which, later, will be used for further crop cultivation. But, it should be borne in mind that such plants are highly susceptible to morbidity and weather changes.

Cucumber hybrids are more unpretentious and resistant to a number of cucumber diseases. They are also able to withstand temperature extremes. drought or lack of heat and sunlight. Their yield is much higher, and the fruits ripen faster. These include cucumbers for Siberia, Dutch cucumber seeds, etc.

The disadvantage of such plants is that you cannot get seeds from them for future plantings.

Greenhouse cucumber varieties can be subdivided into:

• short-fruited;
• medium-fruited;
• long varieties of cucumbers.

It is believed that the smaller the fruits, the tastier they are.

The color of cucumbers, as well as their size, may vary.... And these are not only different shades of green, but also yellow, white and even black. Those who love exotic can take this fact into account.

For cultivation in greenhouses, it is also worth choosing varieties whose plants do not have highly developed lateral shoots. This will prevent the thickening that is often the cause of numerous cucumber diseases.

Before you start growing cucumbers, you must carefully familiarize yourself with the characteristics of the variety - the growing season, resistance to cold and diseases, shade tolerance, pollination, care rules, etc. All this will help you make the right choice and get a rich harvest.

Varieties

In cold climates with frequent frosts, it is better to choose early varieties of cucumbers. They will have time to give a crop in adverse weather conditions at the lowest cost.

For greenhouses, you should choose special, most suitable varieties of cucumbers. Due to the different microclimate in the greenhouse, as well as the drop in humidity, diseases can occur in cucumbers. The most common among these are powdery mildew, gray or white rot.

The new varieties are the most resistant to diseases and are excellent for greenhouse conditions. They are distinguished by their high yield and unpretentious cultivation.

High-yielding unpretentious variety

Modern breeders recommend choosing exclusively climbing rather than bush varieties for planting in a greenhouse. This is due to the fact that cucumber whips are more convenient to form and tie in the greenhouse, moreover, they take up less space and let in more sunlight.

Cucumbers are thermophilic plants that thrive in warm greenhouses with moderate humidity. Caring for them does not require much effort, especially if your greenhouses are equipped with drip irrigation. It is necessary to irrigate them daily, but very carefully, because they have a weak root system, located almost on the surface, and it is easy to damage it.

During fruiting and flowering, cucumbers need additional organic feeding. It is better to feed the plant in the evening.
