The best varieties of fruit cucumbers

The success of the cucumber crop depends in particular on the choice of seed. The wide assortment on the shelves confuses thoughts rather than allows you to make the right decision. Novice gardeners are advised to first familiarize themselves with the varieties, their names, the characteristics of cultivation and care.

Depending on climatic conditions, different varieties can be planted in Ukraine, Belarus, Chernozem, Bashkiria and the middle lane - these can be parthenocarpic, early ripening, with a long ripening period, or delicious cucumbers for growing in a greenhouse. More information is structured in the article in the form of a kind of list-rating.

Varietal variety of cucumbers

A large number of varieties allows you to choose the best options that have disease and weather resistance the region where the green plant is planned to be grown.

A common mistake is the use of certain 2-3 varieties, the cultivation of which has been practiced for several decades.

Domestic and foreign breeders have developed many hybrids that have no less affordable agricultural technology and excellent taste than the once loved cucumbers.

Among the top tips for growing vegetables, experts point to the need to plant several varieties at once... This makes it possible to evaluate the yield of different species under the same ripening conditions, to get at least some yield during drought or prolonged rains.

Collect the necessary and useful information about the varietal variety, the characteristics of the characteristics of zelents can be found below.

The most popular varieties with names

For the convenience of perception and application of the text in practice, plants are divided into separate groups, united by a common feature.

The best self-pollinating for outdoor use

Self-pollinating cucumbers have a number of advantages, among which excellent immunity and resistance to an abundance of moisture are noted.

• Booth - ripening period is only 40 days. The length of the green plant reaches 9 cm. One bush yields up to 3.5 kg. The strong immunity of the plant resists various diseases (olive spot, mosaic, powdery mildew).
• Courage - harvesting of the Kurazh variety begins 40-47 days after the sprouts break through from the soil. The weight of one cucumber reaches 170-180 gr., Up to 10 zelents are formed on one shoot. The plant practically does not suffer from rot, powdery mildew.
• Connie - harvesting of fruits begins on the 50th day after sowing. The culture is universal both in the way of cultivation and in the use of cucumbers. The length of the greenery is 10 cm, the yield from 1 m2 is about 9 kg.
• Berendey - fruits (12-15 cm) ripen 42 days after the sprouts appear. One bush can be harvested up to 3.5 kg. Zelentsy have excellent characteristics and have a long shelf life.
• Gerda - fruits 10 cm long appear 1.5 months after sowing. 2.8-3 kg are removed from the bush. The plant is rarely affected by diseases; it is especially resistant to fungal infections.

The best early ripe cucumbers

Early ripening varieties have a feature that every gardener should be familiar with.

The ovaries of male flowers are the first to form, they must be removed, since they interfere with the development of the plant.

• April - from the moment of planting, the fruits of April ripen on the 50th day, reaching a length of 20-22 cm. The plant itself regulates the growth of shoots, so the need for cutting falls off. Productivity from 1 m2 on average 22 kg. Cucumbers do not overripe if they miss the assembly deadline. The culture is resistant to almost all diseases, with the exception of root rot.
• Hermann - sprouts at 39-41 days after sprouting. The length of Herman's greens reaches 10 cm, 23-26 kg are harvested from 1 m2. The hybrid is characterized by a long fruiting period, self-pollination and immunity to fungi.
• Orlik - begins to bear fruit on the 47-50th day after sowing. The length of the greenery reaches 14-16 cm, with a diameter of 3.5-4 cm. 6-8 kg are removed from the bush. The culture has a strong immunity, resists powdery mildew, root rot, olive spot and TMV.
• Valdai - the bush begins to bear fruit on the 45th day after the emergence of sprouts. Flowers are formed predominantly by women, therefore pollination by bees is required. The length of the greenery is about 10-11 cm, up to 4.5 kg of the crop is removed from the bush. The hybrid was developed for preservation, but due to its delicate taste it is also used for salad.

Mid-season

Medium ripening varieties begin to bear fruit on the 45-55 day after sowing the seeds into the soil. All plants of this group differ in the method of cultivation (greenhouse, soil), purpose (fresh or for salting) and the type of pollination.

• Competitor - characterized as a plant that loves life and is resistant to diseases.The length of the greenery reaches 9-12 cm with an average weight of 100 grams. Up to 3.8 kg of the crop is harvested from each m2. The variety has good immunity and is resistant to powdery mildew.
• Nezhinsky - a variety pollinated by bees, characterized by a powerful stem, medium-sized fruits (length 10-12 cm, weight 90 g) and high yield (8 kg per 1 m2). Nezhinsky tolerates low temperatures and is resistant to many diseases. Cucumbers have a high taste.
• Libella - a versatile hybrid with a long fruiting period. With proper care, you can harvest until the coldest days. The length of the Libelle greenery reaches 14 cm, weight - 140 grams. Up to 10-12 kg are removed from a square meter. When salted, the flesh remains crispy and firm. In agricultural technology, there are rarely cases of damage to crops by common diseases.
• Table - has an excellent taste without bitterness, ideal for salting. The bush is formed long with a strong lash, the length of the fruit reaches 12 cm with a weight of 80-90 grams. Productivity from 1 m2 about 8 kg.

Late ripening

A feature of late-ripening cucumbers is that the seeds germinate well only in the 3rd year.

Therefore, the purchased material before planting is worth check for germination... Also, when choosing varieties of this group, you need to take into account the climate of the region and the ripening period of zelents in order to have time to collect most of the harvest before the onset of cold weather.

• Phoenix - the harvest period begins 64 days after seed germination. Cucumbers reach a length of 16 cm, with an average weight of 230 g. Phoenix bushes form a branched whip that resists the vagaries of the weather well.
• Winner - differs in long spreading lashes that easily tolerate drought, coolness. The plant is resistant to various types of fungi. Fruit length reaches 14 cm with an average weight of 110 grams. The yield from 1 m2 is 7-8 kg.
• Solar - the variety is mid-season, but most gardeners plant it as late. The bush releases many twigs, forming a massive whip, which implies planting in a large area. The peel of the greenery is covered with a few tubercles and greenish stripes. The length of a cucumber reaches 12 cm with an average weight of 140 grams.
• Brownie - the harvest period starts 65 days after germination. The length of the cucumbers is small (9 cm), but the taste is high. The culture has good immunity, showing resistance to almost all common diseases. Productivity - 6-8 kg per 1 m2.
• Chinese - a disease-resistant variety with a mild taste and lack of bitterness. A feature of the fruit of the Chinese cucumber is considered to be a short shelf life after harvest. Original elongated cucumbers (30-35 cm) look like snakes. The plant tolerates low temperatures and poor lighting well.

Which are the highest yielding for greenhouses

All gardeners, without exception, are attracted by high-yielding varieties. In your greenhouse, you can try to grow the most popular of them.

• Parisian gherkin - fruits ripen in 50-60 days after sowing. The length of the Parisian gherkin variety reaches 12 cm with an average weight of 85 grams. A large number of ovaries are formed on the lash, which guarantees a high yield - over 30 kg per 1 m2. Low germination of seeds provides for planting beds through seedlings.
• Fontanelle - a popular cucumber among gardeners in our country. It is grown in almost every area. The dimensions of the Spring greens reach 22-24 cm with an average weight of 150 grams. More than 10 kg are removed from the bush. In terms of taste and rules of agricultural technology, the variety remains competitive in front of the best European developments of breeders.
• Zozulya - the harvesting period begins on the 45th day after sprouting. The formation of the lash is carried out in such a way that the bush does not need pruning. Zelentsy reaches 24 cm in length with an average weight of 280-300 grams.From a square meter, you can collect up to 30 kg of Zozulya cucumber. The plant is practically not sick with olive spot and cucumber mosaic.

For planting outdoors

• Suzanne - a versatile crop that can be grown not only in the open field, but in a greenhouse and even on a balcony. The length of the lash reaches 3-4 m, forming a large number of ovaries. Picking 3-4 centimeters fruit or wait until they become larger, this does not affect the taste. Suzanne has good disease and pest resistance.
• Sparta - the hybrid is bee-pollinated with stable fruiting. The length of the greenery is 6-12 cm, the taste is pleasant without bitterness. The culture has a strong immunity, especially against powdery mildew and fungi. The yield per bush is 2.8-3.1 kg.

• Pinocchio Is a self-pollinated hybrid that begins to ripen 48 days after germination. The length of the greenery is about 8-9 cm with a weight of 85 grams. The yield per bush is 3.4 kg.
• Sturdy - by the rate of ripening, the cucumber is considered a sprinter, just 38 days after the emergence of sprouts. The length of the greenery is about 9 cm with a weight of 80 g. The fruiting period is fleeting, all ovaries form and ripen together. Unfavorable weather does not have a negative effect on the growing season.

For growing in Siberia

Growing cucumbers in a harsh climate has its own characteristics. It is better to plant cucumbers in Siberia in polycarbonate greenhouses or choose fruitful early maturing varieties.

When choosing seeds, preference should be given to varieties that are resistant to stress.

• Altaic - it has a short ripening period, the harvest begins 36-40 days after germination. The length of the greenery is 9-12 cm with a weight of 100 g. The plant is cold-resistant, easily tolerates the vagaries of the weather. After harvesting, the fruits retain their presentation and taste for a long time.
• Serpentine - gherkin type cucumber, ripens 39-42 days after germination. The fruiting period is intense, already in the first 10 days most of the harvest is harvested - over 1.7 kg per 1 m2. Serpentine is known for its taste, which lacks bitterness.
• Bush - a compact plant that needs pollination. The length of the greenery reaches 8 cm with a weight of 90 grams. Productivity is stable with proper care (3 kg per bush). The peculiarity of the variety is its endurance and strong immunity. Cucumbers are versatile.

Each variety of cucumbers has an impressive set of benefits. The main thing when choosing is to take into account the climatic features of the region and the correspondence to them of the characteristics of the varieties you like. Then the main stage of laying the future harvest will be performed correctly.

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 are not bitter, and such a 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" - 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 have 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 from a regular variety, seed producers add the combination F1 after its name.

Good harvests to you!

Cucumber is one of the most popular vegetable crops in Russia, cultivated by every summer resident. In the Register of Breeding Achievements, about one and a half thousand varieties are currently registered. It is quite difficult to navigate in such a variety. Helping to choose the best varieties of cucumbers for different growing conditions is the task of this material.

The best varieties of cucumbers for greenhouses and greenhouses

The earliest harvests of cucumbers in most Russian regions can be obtained only in greenhouses.

Conditions in greenhouses and greenhouses are significantly different from outdoor ones, therefore greenhouse varieties have their own characteristics:

• Limited lateral branching. This makes it easy to control the degree of thickening of the plants and avoid outbreaks of fungal diseases in conditions of high humidity and insufficient ventilation.
• Ability to form ovaries without pollination. In closed greenhouses, where there is no access to bees, this property helps to do without manual pollination.
• Shade tolerance. In greenhouses, plants receive less sunlight, especially in dense plantings.
• Immunity to common diseases. Infections in greenhouses develop with lightning speed, so plants must have strong immunity.

The following varieties of greenhouse cucumbers meet all these conditions:

Diamond	F1	universal	Indeterminate hybrid. Forms 2-3 ovaries in each node. Zelenets medium tuberous, with spines and pubescence, cylindrical. Productivity 18.3 kg per 1 m2.
Zozulya	F1	salad	Highly productive hybrid with a yield of up to 20 kg from 1 m2. Zelentsy are long, over 20 cm. Most of the flowers are female.
Kosinsky	F1	salad	New hybrid, ties fruit in bunches. Zelentsy grow up to 10-12 cm, do not taste bitter. Productivity 20-22 kg per 1 m2.
Marinda	F1	universal	A hybrid that forms large-tuberous strong greens, genetically without bitterness. Lateral branching is average, with good care the ovaries are formed according to the bouquet type. The yield reaches 25 kg per 1 m2.

The described hybrids are classified as parthenocarpic. They form ovaries without pollination, in which case their fruits are devoid of seeds.

Self-pollinated vegetable varieties for open ground

Often, negative conditions for pollination occur when growing in beds. Bad weather does not at all contribute to the active flight of bees, therefore, in regions with cool summers and frequent rains, it is better to select varieties of cucumbers that are capable of self-pollination.

Self-pollinated varieties of cucumbers for open ground lay bisexual flowers bearing both a stamen and a pistil, like a tomato. Thanks to this, it is possible to get a harvest even in bad weather.

Among the cucumbers that have this ability are the following:

Prestige	F1	universal	Indeterminate hybrid forming small-seeded gherkins. The structure of the fruit is dense, suitable for salting. Fruiting is extended.
Connie	F1	universal	A vigorous gherkin hybrid. Zelentsy with white soft pubescence, juicy, not bitter, do not contain voids. The ovaries are formed according to the bouquet type. Fruiting is extended.
Gerda	F1	salting	A vigorous plant with short, striped, white-thorn greens. Gherkins are formed according to the bouquet type, do not outgrow.
Crispin	F1	salting	An early ripe hybrid from Holland with excellent immunity to a complex of diseases. Forms gherkins, free from bitterness, according to the bouquet type.

The final yield of self-pollinated cucumbers depends on the soil, weather in spring and summer, and on the level of agricultural technology. On average, 15-18 kg of fruit can be obtained from 1 m2.

The best early ripe cucumbers

You can get early harvests not only in the greenhouse, but in the garden. The exact timeframe will depend on the region. In the south, where cucumbers can be sown in the garden as early as mid-May, the first greens will appear in mid-June. In the middle lane, sowing in open ground is possible only by the end of spring, so the beginning of fruiting will shift to the beginning of July.

The earliest ripening varieties of cucumber form the first fruits within 30-45 days after the appearance of seedlings.

Among them, the most popular are:

Loyal friends F1	bee-pollinated	35-37 days	Hybrid for beds and shelters, indeterminate, with little branching. Ties the fruits in bunches. Zelentsy are short, black-spiked, suitable for pickling.
Altai	bee-pollinated	35-38 days	High-yielding pickling variety, suitable for soil and greenhouse cultivation. Zelentsy good taste, not bitter, medium size 10 cm. Immunity to diseases is high.
Muromsky 36	bee-pollinated	32-42 days	An old pickling variety that has not lost its relevance. Zelentsy has a classic "Russian shirt" with rare black spikes. The crop gives back together, until mid-August.
April F1	parthenocarpic	40-45 days	Cold-resistant hybrid, long-fruited, for salad purposes. Zelentsy up to 25 cm, do not turn yellow, have excellent taste.

When choosing cucumbers of an early ripening period, you need to take into account their biological feature: such plants quickly and amicably give off a crop, after which they dry. To have fresh vegetables on the table before fall, you should not rely on this group of varieties alone.

Mid-season high-yielding cucumber varieties

Mid-season cucumber varieties take longer to "swing" at the start, but bear fruit longer. Therefore, their final yield may be higher than that of early varieties.

The following medium-ripening cucumbers have earned excellent reviews from summer residents:

Son-in-law F1	parthenocarpic	46-48 days	Vigorous plant with medium branching and high quality gherkins-gherkins. It is not affected by powdery mildew, does not outgrow. The purpose is universal.
Abundant F1	bee-pollinated	50-52 days	Medium-sized hybrid for pickling purposes, valued for its high yield. Forms zelents of 8-14 cm in a beam type. Disease resistant.
Farmer F1	bee-pollinated	50-55 days	A long-leafed indeterminate hybrid suitable for all growing conditions. Zelentsy of universal purpose, yield - up to 25 kg per 1 m2. Strong immunity to rot and viral infections.

The listed hybrids can be grown in most Russian regions with the exception of the regions of the far north.

Late ripening vegetables

Late-ripening cucumbers are able to bear fruit until a steady autumn cold snap, and when grown in greenhouses - until frost. As a rule, these are sturdy plants that give off the crop gradually (extended fruiting). Plants of this type include, for example, the famous cucumber Nezhinsky, which dates back to the 18th century. It was repeatedly used in breeding work and gave rise to a number of high-yielding hybrids.

Among late-ripening cucumbers, the following varieties have proven themselves well:

F1 effect	parthenocarpic	59-70 days	The bush has an indeterminate structure, ties 1-3 fruits in a knot. The fruits are long, up to 27 cm, glossy, of excellent taste. Suitable for extended turnover in greenhouses.
Hercules F1	bee-pollinated	59-65 days	A hybrid with spindle-shaped greens, 15 cm long. The pubescence is sparse, large tubercles. The purpose is universal, the yield reaches 30 kg per 1 m2.
Phoenix	bee-pollinated	60-65 days	A variety with exceptional immunity to downy mildew and other infections. Fruits are striped, short, with sparse white thorns, universal.

Late-ripening cucumbers are also good because they are easy to rejuvenate lashes. When they start to age, the main stem is removed from the garter, lowered a little and added to the bottom. Soon, additional roots are formed, and the plant will give a new wave of fruiting.

For growing in Siberia

Modern approaches to agricultural technology make it possible to grow any varieties of cucumbers, regardless of the region. However, planting zoned varieties makes it possible to avoid unnecessary labor costs and headaches.

For cultivation in Siberia, the Register of Breeding Achievements recommended the following high-yield varieties:

• Ussuriysk 3 - bee-pollinated, universal purpose, for beds and film tunnels;
• Kamchatka F1 - bee-pollinated, universal, greenhouse;
• Muromsky 36 - bee-pollinated, salting, for soil cultivation;
• Vanguard - bee-pollinated, salting, for soil and greenhouse cultivation;
• Agathon F1 - parthenocarpic, salting, bears fruit in any conditions;
• White Angel F1 - parthenocarpic, white-jacketed, lettuce, ground and greenhouse;
• Bourgeois F1 - parthenocarpic, salad, ground.

Siberia includes vast territories that differ greatly in soil and climatic conditions. Therefore, the recommendations are general in nature, and each specific variety may behave differently in the central and southern Siberian regions.

Varieties for the Urals

For cultivation in the Urals, it makes sense to contact the local breeding company "Uralsky Dachnik". The varieties and hybrids of cucumbers, bred by this agrofirm in conjunction with the Siberian Research Institute of Plant Growing, give an excellent yield in this particular region.

The following names have great prospects:

• Fidelity F1 - a super-beam early hybrid with increased cold resistance, for soil and greenhouse cultivation, yields a crop in a short time;
• Blizzard F1 - self-pollinated universal beam hybrid, for any growing conditions;
• Homer F1 is a bunchy hybrid created by the Siberian Research Institute of Plant Industry, parthenocarpic, has a unique cold resistance and disease resistance;
• Druzhina F1 - early ripe hybrid created by the West Siberian Vegetable Experimental Station, parthenocarpic;
• MELS F1 - a unique ultra-early ripening superbeam hybrid, gherkin, tying 5-7 zelents in a knot;
• Devotion F1 is a bunchy, actively branching soil-cultivating hybrid, with a high immunity to diseases, capable of producing crops before frost.

In the Urals, it is quite possible to grow "non-local" varieties, including the Dutch selection - Marinda F1, Colet F1, Ajax F1.

High-yielding cucumbers for the Moscow region

For the Moscow region, cucumber is a traditional culture, so summer residents can afford to experiment with varieties.

According to reviews, the following cucumbers show the highest yield in this region:

• Abundant - bee-pollinated, canning, for open ground and shelters;
• Pakto F1 - parthenocarpic, salad, greenhouse;
• Pasadena F1 - parthenocarpic, salting, for open ground;
• Nugget - bee-pollinated, salted, for open ground and shelters;
• Northern Lights F1 - parthenocarpic, universal, for greenhouses;
• Carousel F1 - parthenocarpic, salting, for open ground and shelters.

Practice shows that good harvests in the Moscow region are also provided by varieties of St. Petersburg selection - Laplandia F1, By the pike's command F1, Valaamskiy F1, Suomi F1.

Varieties of cucumbers for growing on the windowsill

Experiments on growing cucumbers on the windowsill usually do not give startling results. The harvest is usually quite modest, as the plants do not receive enough sunlight.

Sergei Dubinin, director of the SeDek agricultural company, recommends using shade-tolerant varieties for these purposes:

• Window-balcony F1;
• Russian style F1;
• Elizabeth F1.

Breeder of the Manul company Oleg Krylov recommends trying to grow hybrids on the windowsill Manul F1 and TLC 422 F1... And Olga Baklanova, a cucumber breeding specialist at the Poisk agrofirm, advises shade-tolerant hybrids Forward F1 and Faust F1.

Secrets of how to increase the harvest of cucumbers

Even the best cucumber varieties can fail to fulfill their genetic potential if poorly maintained.

To get a decent harvest, it is important to follow a number of rules:

• observe the temperature regime - cucumbers are very thermophilic;
• water with warm water using drip irrigation;
• timely feed the cucumbers with mullein infusion and ash infusion;
• periodically spray the lashes with a solution of boric acid to stimulate flowering and the formation of ovaries;
• spud the main lash after the appearance of the 3rd true leaf;
• collect green leaves in a timely manner, prevent them from overgrowing, so as not to inhibit the formation of new ovaries;
• properly form and tie up the bush.

Selecting high-yielding varieties, combining them according to the ripening rate and observing a high level of agricultural technology, you can achieve excellent cucumber yields in any year, regardless of weather conditions.

1. During the fruiting period, cucumbers are fed once a week with an infusion of fresh mullein, bird droppings or fermented grass, you can alternate with fertilizing with mineral fertilizers. Only warm water is suitable for irrigation (+ 20 ... + 25 ° С). Collect pickles and gherkins every day, otherwise they will thicken, becoming like small barrels. Cucumbers for pickling and fresh consumption - in 1-3 days. Timely harvest stimulates the active growth of the remaining and the formation of a new ovary.Tempo Ultra-early hybrid, which perfectly tolerates low temperatures (seeds germinate at +10 degrees) and after 50 days the technical ripeness comes. The average weight of one fruit is about 150 grams, quite large. Some specimens grow up to 300 grams or more, but this is rare, since with proper care and timely harvesting, all the thugs have a presentation. Resistance to rot is high, but often various kinds of fungi form on the leaves, in that leaf there is also brown spot.

3. Having designated the criteria, it is easier to decide on the choice of specific types of seeds.It is better to sow in the ground in the last decade of May or early June. Whichever plant is "hardened", a film should be applied, covering it at night to preserve the seedlings until the heat is fully set. Before planting, the seeds should be pre-soaked so that they swell and "hatch". This will speed up the process of emergence of the first sprouts.Cucumber is a vegetable that people enjoy eating raw and canned. Its growing season is quite short, so it is important for every gardener and farmer to know which cucumber seeds are the best for open field. The choice of seed directly depends on the composition of the land, the region where it will grow, and the climate.

"Aquarius" - has a high yield and is used both in salads and for pickling.

Before planting, you need to make grooves or pits using a boot and treat them with a plant growth stimulator "Energen" at the rate of 2 capsules per 10 liters of warm water. The wells should be watered generously with the solution during sowing.

Cucumbers grow on almost any type of soil, but are less capricious on light, fertilizer-rich, with good drainage and aeration. It should be remembered that you should not sow this vegetable in the same place more often than once every five years. Therefore, it is necessary to prepare the next planting ahead of time, introducing organic fertilizers, which accelerate the ripening of beautiful fruits and improve their taste.Cucumber Emelya F1.I grow it for pickling in small jars.

Before getting the most productive and delicious cucumbers, you need to understand how we want to use them and where we are going to grow them....An ultra-early ripening hybrid with a maturing period of only 42 days. The first greens are tied 35 days after germination, it is this feature that attracts many summer residents and farmers who want to grow vegetables in a greenhouse and rely on an early harvest to get more profit. The average weight of one fruit is 80 grams, up to 35 pieces are formed on one bush, and an average of 12-14 kilograms can be harvested from one square meter. As for the resistance to diseases, it is high, primarily to anthracosis and verticillary wilt.

Resistant to fusarium wilting, anthracosis of leaves, which are very often ill with even the best varieties of cucumbers for the greenhouse.CucumberDesigned for growing in open ground and temporary film greenhouses. Mid-early parthenocarpic hybrid, from germination to the beginning of fruiting of which 46-55 days pass.

These include "Nugget", which gives a large number of greens, suitable for salads and preservation."Vyaznikovsky" cucumbers bear fruit for a long time, have neat fruits and are suitable for salting in barrels.Seeds of cucumbers for open ground, reviews of gardeners confirm this, it is better to throw 3-4 pieces at a distance of 10 cm from each other in one hole. After emergence, they must be thinned out and strong stems left for further growth. Each plant can be covered with a jar for the first week to protect it from the night's cool.

Planting sprouts in open ground speeds up the first harvest of the week by two. This plant is capricious, so self-pollinated cucumber seeds for open ground are suitable for seedlings. These include the varieties "Boy with Finger F1", "Cupid F1", "Lesha F1", "Magnat F1", "Pasadena F1" and other parthenocarpic species. These hybrids have mainly female flowers, do not require the presence of bees for pollination and are unpretentious.An early hybrid (39-43 days) for growing under film shelters.

Zelenets fusiform, 13-15 cm long. The yield is high especially for pickling varieties. Resistant to cucumber mosaic virus, olive spot and tolerant to root rot and powdery mildew. Grown in a greenhouse, easy to tie, neat, tasty fruits.Cucumber Graceful.

How to choose cucumbersUltra-early ripening species do not have high yields and even with perfect care in breeding plots, they do not yield more than 15 kg per square meter. Taste also leaves much to be desired, since the rapid ripening of the fruit prevents the accumulation of sugars and other substances that can affect the taste of the fruit. The only advantage of such a quick ripening period (in relation to taste) is the crunchy skin and pulp, for which they are appreciated by every consumer.

Despite the solid potential yield of the above-described varieties, they can give very weak yields if the plants are not provided with a large amount of moisture and organic fertilizers. If you are going to seriously engage in this business, you need to add compost, mullein in advance, since the bushes deplete the soil in several months. The main indicator of "weakness" is slightly yellowed leaves - at this moment it is time to start applying nitrogen-containing fertilizers.Sigurd.

An early ripening hybrid (from emergence to the beginning of fruiting 43-48 days), bee-pollinated, with a predominantly female type of flowering. Designed for growing under film shelters. Cylindrical, large-tuberous brown thorny, rich green green with white stripes, slightly narrowed at the base, reaches 9-11 cm in length, and its mass reaches 90-100 grams. The hybrid is resistant to the main diseases of the cucumber, and from 1 square meter you can get 15-17 kg of fruit. I have listed, of course, not all the fruitful varieties of cucumbers, so I ask you to supplement me in the comments. Tell us what varieties of cucumbers did you grow on your site, and which of them turned out to be the most productive? In addition, I recommend a few more articles on cucumbers:Cucumbers for pickling in barrels usually have a denser rind, which is gradually soaked in the brine. This helps to maintain their crunchy quality.

"German F1" is resistant to diseases and is recommended for those areas where cucumbers have already grown and hurt. Also, it should be planted if diseases overwhelm neighboring lands for greater safety of the crop. This hybrid species is good for conservation.To understand what good open field cucumber seeds to buy, you need to consider several important properties of the plant:

Open field cucumber seeds need to be prepared before planting them for seedlings. Since the stems of the plant are very delicate, it is recommended to “harden” them and protect them from pests. Many gardeners and farmers prefer to buy hybrid varieties, but if the seed is not one of them, then it is better to take precautions.Cucumber Blizzard F1.

The best open field cucumber seeds

Early ripening (from the emergence of mass shoots to fruiting - 50 days) cucumber for open ground. Differs in increased resistance to adverse temperature conditions and diseases. Zelenets of universal use, fruit weight 90 g. The thorns are small, the shape is beautiful, corresponds to the name. I liked the taste and appearance, the yield is average.

Types of soil for growing cucumbers

Cucumbers are salad, canned (for pickling and pickling) and universal. The latter can be eaten fresh, salted and pickled, but they are often not very fruitful. Salad cucumbers usually have white thorns: they are tasty fresh and in salads, but when salted, they become soft and tasteless when stored for a long time. In addition, they are the most productive. Pickled cucumbers have neat medium-sized greens with dense pulp and a thin skin that allows salt to pass through well. For pickling cucumbers, the greens are even smaller (gherkins or pickles), the flesh is even denser, and the peel is thin.

For those for whom the amount of harvested vegetables, as well as their ripening period, do not matter, the following options will be most suitable. They have the best taste, are the sweetest and most crunchy. Suitable for salads, seaming in jars, cooking vegetable dishes and just for wholesale. They have an excellent presentation. Cucumbers with the best taste and the highest vitamin content are offered to your attention.

Cucumber sprouts

Many winter varieties of cucumbers have a long ripening period (up to 70 days), which will not satisfy the requirements of many gardeners who want to get everything at once. It is known that in winter the price of vegetables is much higher and the profitability of vegetable growing increases significantly. The earlier you harvest the crop, the more expensive it can be sold a few months before the start of the season. If you are looking for early ripening cucumbers for greenhouses, the varieties listed below will be the best option.

Excellent for planting outdoors, in greenhouse conditions. It is planted in late spring or summer. A strong root system provides resistance to white, gray rot, powdery mildew, melon aphids, and other diseases.Proper care, abundant fertilization increase the yield up to 15 kilograms per bush. This type of vegetable will give an even better result if the bushes are planted at a distance of one and a half meters. The plant quickly depletes the soil, therefore it requires a lot of fertilizer. In addition to the root, it is necessary to add deciduous fertilizer mixtures. The fruits of this hybrid are characterized by a dark green peel, pronounced tubercles, and high density. Fruit size varies from 9 to 13 centimeters.

For this, self-pollinated cucumber seeds for open ground are pre-soaked in a weak solution (2 g per 200 ml of water) of potassium permanganate. The water should turn out pink. They should be kept for up to 30 minutes, then wrapped in gauze and rinsed for several minutes under running water. This will strengthen the future plant in front of an aggressive external environment.

I have been planting for several years on a warm garden bed. Parthenocarpic hybrid of a new generation, combining limited growth with a powerful simultaneous yield - the plant forms up to 15 identical fruits at a time. The percentage of parthenocarp is 100%, which guarantees a harvest in almost any conditions. The hybrid is ultra-early (37-38 days). The plant is medium-sized with a very weak regrowth of lateral shoots (especially in the lower tier). The flowering type is exclusively female. Bunch ovary, 4-5 fruits. Zelenets 6-8 cm long, oval-cylindrical, large tuberous. Good for fresh consumption and canning. Resistant to true and downy mildew.

Cucumbers Bully F1

According to the method of cultivation, cucumbers are for protected (greenhouses and temporary shelters) and open ground. The yield in the greenhouse is always higher, but the soil is tastier. Even the same variety, grown in greenhouses and outdoors, tastes slightly different. Cucumber is a very thermophilic plant, therefore, to obtain guaranteed yields, it is better to use a combined growing method. I grow salad varieties through seedlings in a greenhouse, and pickling and canning varieties - under a light film cover, which can be removed in case of hot weather. In any weather, I do not stay without cucumbers.

Cucumbers: personal experience of growing, useful tips

• Among the many existing varieties of cucumbers, each of us chooses the most suitable for ourselves, guided by a certain set of requirements. Some want to get cucumbers as early as possible, so they plant early varieties of cucumbers. The second is more important the taste of the fruit, the third - the longest possible period of their fruiting. But, perhaps, one of the main requirements for everyone is yield. These are just the most productive varieties of cucumbers we will discuss with you today.
• "Siberian Dvorik F1" gives the fastest germination, early harvest and long-term fruitful season. It is popular with housewives for pickling and canning. Its rind gradually passes the brine, which gives a uniform and moderately rich taste.
• The duration of the fruiting of the plant;
• The next step is for them to germinate. To do this, open field seeds can be spread on a slightly dampened piece of cotton cloth, covered with another dampened material, such as gauze.Within 2-3 days they will "hatch", and during this time the fabric should be periodically moistened with water.

In order to "guess" the timing of growing sprouts, you should know approximately when the temperature of the earth warms up to +15 - 16 degrees. If it is the end of May, then the seeds of open ground cucumbers are planted at the beginning of the month. The plant is very sensitive to cold, so transplanting is stressful for it. Even if the ground warms up enough during the day, it is better to "wrap" the sprouts in a film at night.

Mid-season cucumbers

This hybrid belongs to the group of cucumbers intended for cultivation in open ground and film tunnels without being tied to a trellis and without plant formation. The peculiarity of such cucumbers is their suitability for barrel salting (by the way, it is considered the most delicious). This group has minimal maintenance requirements and is highly resistant to adverse weather conditions. The hybrid is medium early, begins to bear fruit on the 38-46th day from mass shoots, differs in a friendly return of an early harvest (more than 30%), while it bears fruit before frost. It has a very dense skin, crispy texture and strong aroma, making it ideal for pickling. The stem is creeping, of medium length, strongly branched. The fruit is beautifully cylindrical, short, 8-10 cm long, 2.5-2.8 cm in diameter, large tubercles, sparse tubercles, black thorns, dark green with marbling, blurred white stripes reaching up to 1/3 of the fruit. Taste quality is high (especially in salty form), bitterness is absent. I liked it both in taste and in appearance.

• Fatalist F1.
• Nizhinskie, Murom
• An excellent variant of the Dutch selection, a hybrid, the taste of which has won the respect of many farmers and gardeners. Despite the fact that its yield is not very high (only 14 kg / 1 sq.m.), the sugar content (5.3%) and a huge amount of ascorbic acid make it not only tasty, but also useful for the body. The average length of the green ones is 13 centimeters, and the ratio of length and diameter is 3.5: 1. That is, it has an excellent presentation. Keeping quality and transportability is high, which is why it has become one of the most popular varieties for export. Technical ripeness occurs 60 days after germination (medium late). Acclimatized in the temperate zone of Russia, for the last 4 years it has been successfully grown on the Krasnodar selection site.
• The earliest group, technical ripeness occurs in 45 days

Branching cucumbers

It can rightfully be called the best variant of the Dutch selection, was bred in 1980, but after 7 years it became a "bestseller" in the Russian markets, actively acclimatized in our territory. Now

Selecting a variety for its intended purpose

I really like the seeds of the Novosibirsk selection. there are not very many varieties, it all depends on your taste. I like tomatoes are not tall and pink size does not matter. he and them are large, medium early ripeness. I grew up and liked them - "Champion M", "Eagle Heart", "Scarlet Mustang" this pepper-shaped variety, "Miracle of the Earth".bushes require a garter and you need to pinch, otherwise the bushes are very powerful and you will have a tomato jungle. for canning, I plant "Pink Pear". The fruits are not large, pear-shaped, sweet, dense, but there is not enough wealth to crack. "Cheri", "date" are small but soft in cans, "Dates" are a little denser. very sweet when fresh. good luck!

9 most productive varieties of cucumbers

To obtain strong seedlings, it is advisable to plant each seed in a separate, preferably paper, cup, peat tablets or pots. There should be enough lighting to keep the stems from pulling up too quickly. For this, a window sill on the sunny side of the house is suitable, and if this is not possible, then fluorescent lamps should be used. It is also necessary to ensure that the soil or peat is sufficiently moist, but do not flood them with water. Humidification is carried out 1 or 2 times a week, depending on the air temperature in the house. Better if in the daytime indoors +18 or higher, and at night +14, +15 degrees. A couple of weeks after sowing, two strong leaves will appear on the stem, then they can be transplanted into the ground together with a glass or a peat pot.Cucumber White Angel F1.

Pinocchio F1

Hybrids of a new line of shade-tolerant parthenocarpic cucumbers. An important feature is the ability to grow plants in low light conditions combined with low temperatures (rainy, cold summer). In this case, the fruits are tied perfectly. Specially designed for cultivation in areas of risky farming. Hybrid

And others, often produce plants that differ in yield, size and shape of fruits, early maturity. The most reliable and productive at present are F1 hybrids. They are fruitful, early ripening, disease-resistant, taste good, and their fruits are devoid of bitterness. Often, parthenocarpic varieties and hybrids (with a predominantly female type of flowering) are more productive than others.

Dasha F1

The relatively new variety "Herman" is very unpretentious and good in taste. His cucumbers are small, like gherkins, very good for pickling. However, on the site you must also have salad varieties of cucumbers, I like TLC. In protected ground, they bear fruit until frost. This year they recommended the Adam variety, advertised that it was better than Herman. I can't say anything yet, except that one hundred percent of the seeds have sprouted.

Cellar F1

Self-or bee-pollinated varieties;

• If you think about which cucumber seeds are the best for open ground, then you should look at self-pollinated species, and also decide on the ripening time. This directly depends on the climatic characteristics, the length of the season and the location of the site. The short summer period requires a different approach to planting and caring for plants than in early spring or warm times until mid-September.
• A mid-season hybrid (50-55 days from germination to fruiting) with a high degree of parthenocarp, intended for cultivation both in film greenhouses and in the open field. Plants are vigorous, form many lateral shoots. In the axils of the leaves, 1-2 ovaries are formed. Fruits are short (6-8 cm), with sparse tubercles, white. They should be harvested when they take on a faint greenish tint. They eat fruits both fresh and canned. The cucumbers have grown unusual and taste good, but I like the usual green ones more.
