What good cucumber seeds. An overview of the best cucumber seeds

At the end of winter, seeds of all crops grown in the garden appear on sale in garden pavilions, shops and markets, among which cucumbers occupy one of the most honorable places. The number of varieties on offer can be confusing even experienced gardeners.

Characteristics of varieties of cucumbers

To determine which of the varieties to prefer, you need to correctly prioritize for yourself, and for this you need to figure out which varieties generally exist in the culture. Without going into the professional intricacies on which the classification of cucumber varieties is based, we will try to introduce you to the most important characteristics of these vegetables. So, cucumber varieties are divided into the following categories:

growing region: for each region, there are zoned varieties that better cope with weather conditions and diseases and pests common in a particular area;
landing site: there are varieties of cucumbers for open ground and for protected - greenhouses, greenhouses and for growing on a windowsill or on a balcony;
ripening rate: on this basis, varieties are divided into early, middle (mid-ripening) and late, as well as intermediate - mid-early and mid-late;
pollination type: from this point of view, varieties are parthenocarpic, that is, they do not require pollination at all, bee-pollinated and self-pollinated;
appointment: there are cucumbers suitable only for consumption in fresh, there are those that are intended for processing, that is, for salting or pickling, and there are universal varieties, used both fresh and processed;
crop breeding: there are varieties and hybrids of cucumbers. The advantages of the varieties are that they retain their distinctive qualities for several generations and are suitable for processing, and the disadvantages can be considered a small number of ovaries, too large fruits that quickly turn yellow and outgrow. The advantages of hybrids (F1) are medium-sized fruits, several ovaries in one bosom (bunched location), early fruiting, bright color, and besides, the hybrid green plant retains a good appearance for a long time and does not turn yellow. The disadvantages of hybrid cucumbers are the higher cost of seeds and the preservation of the properties of the variety only in one generation;
flowering type: it is mixed, feminine, or predominantly feminine;
fruit size: on this basis, cucumbers are divided into gherkins, in which the length of green leaves is not more than 8 cm, and salad cucumbers, the length of which reaches 20-25 cm or more;
fruit color: the vast majority of cucumbers have a green color of the fruit, but there are varieties of white cucumbers, and they differ from green ones exclusively in color and a complete absence of bitterness. There are also red cucumbers, but in our gardens they grow like weeds;
the nature of the surface of the greenery: cucumbers are large-tuberous and small-tuberous, and the thorns on them are white or black. There are also studless varieties of cucumbers;
growing method: bushy, short-growing (usually a sign of early varieties), medium-growing, which is more characteristic of mid-season varieties, and long-growing - usually represented by late varieties. There are varieties with the so-called bundle formation of the ovary, in which up to 7 cucumbers can form in one sinus. The method of growing cucumbers also depends on the formation of the pinching of the bush;
productivity: there are less, more and very productive varieties of cucumbers;
disease and pest resistance: this is a very important characteristic. You should know that the earlier cucumbers ripen, the lower their resistance to diseases, that is, in early cucumbers it will definitely be lower than in cucumbers. late varieties.

Open field cucumber varieties

Early varieties of cucumbers

Early varieties are those in which from the moment of germination to the first collection of zelents, it takes from 32 to 44 days. Known early varieties include:

Self-pollinated cucumber varieties

Statistics claim that gardeners prefer to grow self-pollinated varieties of cucumbers for open ground, since they, in comparison with parthenocarpic ones, have a brighter taste and aroma, and besides, the early, most valuable cucumbers belong to this type of pollination. Parthenocarpic varieties are often planted in greenhouses in which there are no insects pollinating cucumber flowers, since these cucumbers do not need pollination for successful fruiting. However, the fruits of parthenocarpic cucumbers do not form seeds.

Self-pollinated cucumbers are those whose flowers have both male and female reproductive organs - both the pistil and the stamens, therefore, pollination occurs independently within the same plant, and as a result, fruits with seeds are formed.

The best self-pollinated varieties are:

Gerda- mid-early universal gherkin variety, characterized by high germination and disease resistance. Its greens of excellent taste grow up to 10 cm in length;
Friendly family- also a mid-early, versatile, unpretentious and disease-resistant variety with dense greens up to 12 cm long, which do not have a bitter taste;
White angel- a universal fruitful hybrid variety with white cucumbers 6-8 cm long and weighing 60-70 g. Hillocks are rare, there is no bitterness;
Asshole- universal gherkin bunch hybrid with large tuberous greens beautiful shape dark green with white blurred stripes. The thorns are black, there is no bitterness in the taste. This variety bears fruit until the very frost;
Spring- a versatile medium-branched variety, resistant to diseases, with short greens of a sweetish taste.

As a rule, self-pollinated cucumber varieties, like parthenocarpic ones, are grown in greenhouses, but not because they cannot grow and bear fruit in a garden bed under the sun, but because there are no pollinating insects in greenhouses. There are, of course, self-pollinated varieties exclusively for greenhouses, but most of these cucumbers grow with the same success in the open field.

Bundle varieties of cucumbers

Tufted cucumbers have one feature that distinguishes them from other varieties: in one node they form several ovaries, and their number depends on factors such as growing conditions (that is, the amount of sunlight received by the plant), the place of cultivation (greenhouse or open ground ) and the general condition of the plant. In recent years, bunch varieties have been rapidly gaining popularity, and the most famous of them are:

Winter storm- a rapidly ripening high-yielding parthenocarpic hybrid with a female type of flowering, forming in one ovary up to 4-5 elliptical fruits of a dark green color with yellow stripes, growing up to 8 cm in length and gaining a mass of 60-70 g. The surface of the greens is covered with large tubercles and brown pubescence;
Detinets- early ripening highly productive parthenocarpic hybrid variety of predominantly female flowering type, in all axils of which, except for the first, up to five ovaries are formed. The cylindrical green fruits of Detinets with light yellow stripes reach a length of 10-12 cm, gain 90-120 g in weight and have an excellent taste. Their skin is covered with small tubercles and light brown thorns;
Thumb Boy- resistant to olive spot, powdery mildew and peronosporosis, a productive and versatile parthenocarpic variety that forms 3-6 ovaries in the axils. Zelentsa of this variety, 8-10 cm long, bright green with white thorns and large tubercles, have a good taste;
Master- hybrid parthenocarpic gherkin type with female type of flowering, resistant to temperature fluctuations and forming up to 6 ovaries in one node. Dense elliptical fruits with crunchy tasty pulp, no more than 12 cm long and weighing from 80 to 110 g, are covered with a dark green skin with white thorns and frequent tubercles. Bitterness is not felt either in the pulp or in the peel;
Okhotny Ryad- a universal hybrid parthenocarpic gherkin type with a female type of flowering, resistant to all diseases, except powdery mildew, and forming in the axils from 2 to 6 ovaries. Cucumbers of this variety are cylindrical, lumpy, white-thorn, 8-11 cm long, excellent taste.

The most productive varieties of cucumbers

Productivity is a relative sign, since it depends not only on the variety, but also on other factors - weather conditions, soil composition, quality of care. However, there are varieties that are not even in the most ideal conditions give good yields, and most often these are hybrids. In the garden culture, such high-yielding varieties cucumbers:

Summer resident- an early ripe hybrid medium-sized and medium-branched variety with a predominantly female type of flowering. He has green cylindrical fruits weighing up to 90 g. From one square meter of land you can get 13-14 kg of fruits;

Pinocchio- a cold-resistant parthenocarpic hybrid with a predominantly female type of flowering and a bouquet (bundle) arrangement of ovaries, of which up to 6 pieces are formed in one sinus. Dark green elongated-cylindrical large-tuberous greens, reaching a length of 8-9 cm with a weight of about 100 g, are devoid of bitterness. The yield is up to 13 kg per 1 m² of area.

In addition to those described, such fruitful varieties of cucumbers for open ground are known as Suzanne, Altai early 166, Muromsky 36, Voronezh, Khrustyushchiy, Graceful, Kustovoy, hybrids Sparta, Raznosol, Murashka, Rodnichok and others.

Resistant cucumber varieties

Sometimes in a rainy, cool summer, gardeners can be left without cucumbers, since the cold and dampness contribute to the development of fungal infections - rot, anthracnose, bacteriosis, powdery mildew, peronosporosis and other diseases. But if you grow varieties that can withstand these diseases, the risk of losing your crop will be significantly less. Currently, thanks to the work of breeders, many varieties and hybrids that are resistant to diseases have been bred, among which the most famous are:

Pasadena- mid-early salting parthenocarpic female type of flowering, resistant to powdery mildew, cladosporium and mosaic, with white thorny cylindrical green fruits 6-9 cm long and weighing 60-80 g of excellent taste;

Pickling varieties

How to choose cucumbers for pickling, and how do they differ from salad cucumbers? Firstly, the size - for pickling, the fruits are taken no more than 10 cm long. Secondly, they must be strongly tuberous and black-spiked, since greens with white thorns are not suitable for pickling - they have a rough peel that is impervious to brine. The best pickling varieties are:

Crisp- mid-season parthenocarpic cultivar of female flowering type with single ovaries. Zelentsy of this variety are very hilly, black-spiky, up to 15 cm long;
Goosebump- a universal early ripening hybrid self-pollinated variety with a female type of flowering and bouquet (bunch) formation of ovaries. The fruits of this variety are up to 15 cm long, dark green, strongly hilly;

In addition to those described, pickling varieties of cucumbers Nezhinsky 12, Muromsky, Movir, Magnificent, Zador, Alliance, Competitor, Cascade, Erofey, as well as hybrids Secret Firmy, Moscow evenings, Advance, Julian, Swallow, Courage, Murashka and others have proven themselves well.

Cucumber varieties for pickling (canning)

All pickling varieties of cucumbers are also suitable for pickling in a pickle, however, there are cucumbers that cannot be pickled, but can be pickled. Such varieties are called canning - a substance that provides correct process fermentation during salting, these cucumbers do not contain. They are even smaller than pickled ones, their flesh is even denser, and the rind is as thin as pickled cucumbers. Their main features are strong tuberosity and whiteness. Canned varieties of cucumbers include:

Cucumber is a favorite vegetable for many. Crispy, aromatic ground cucumbers are grown by almost everyone who is engaged in vegetable growing. But if earlier only bee-pollinated varieties of cucumbers were intended for open ground, then in Lately gardeners often prefer self-pollinated (parthenocarpic) hybrids. It is important to understand their main features so as not to be mistaken when choosing seeds. In this article, we will consider which self-pollinated varieties of cucumbers for open ground are best suited for planting in the country, we will analyze the rules for buying seeds.

Cucumber variety or hybrid - which is better?

Seed producing firms offer both varieties and hybrids of cucumbers for open ground. What is the difference between them, what seeds to buy for the harvest?

One of the important features of the variety is the ability to preserve characteristic features and properties in the offspring, that is, if you prepare seeds from varietal plants, exactly the same cucumbers will grow from them.

The situation is different with hybrids. Even if it is possible to obtain seeds from them, the resulting offspring will definitely not retain any properties and characteristics of the parents. Seeds for growing will need to be purchased every year.

In practice, vegetable growers have seen that the capabilities of self-pollinated hybrids significantly exceed the capabilities of varieties, and therefore give them their preference.

The fact that we have a hybrid in front of us is evidenced by the marking in the form of a signF1 next to the name. It means that this is a heterotic hybrid of the first generation, and the seeds are obtained from crossing two parent plants with a certain set of properties.

The phenomenon of heterosis has long been known to breeders; in the first generation it manifests itself in increased productivity, resistance to diseases, improved taste, and the parameters for achieving ripeness. It should be noted that these plants have nothing to do with genetic engineering, and the seeds of hybrids are obtained thanks to the painstaking work of breeders, practically manual pollination, so the price for such products is much higher.

A certain group of hybrids has parthenocarp, that is, the ability to form a cucumber fruit without pollination. This phenomenon is considered by some to be self-pollination, although it is not, and it is more correct to call the corresponding hybrids self-fertile. Naturally, there will be no seeds from such fruits, since fertilization does not occur.

Although these species were originally intended for greenhouses, they are now successfully grown in the open field, since the harvest will no longer depend on the presence of bees and changeable weather. Resistance to diseases, temperature fluctuations, and yield stability will serve as a good bonus. Many cucumber hybrids are versatile - suitable for both greenhouses and garden beds.

In practice, vegetable growers have seen that the capabilities of self-pollinated hybrids significantly exceed the capabilities of varieties, and therefore give them their preference.

Classification of self-pollinated cucumbers

According to consumer properties, cucumbers are conventionally divided into pickling, for fresh consumption and universal, that is, combining both properties.
According to the timing of formation, they are distinguished: early-ripening - fruiting on 40-46 days, mid-early - on 46-50 days, mid-ripening - on 50-57 days and late-ripening - starting from 57 days and above;
By the degree of branching of the lashes: good, medium and weak;
By the method of pollination - pollinated and self-fertile (parthenocarpic);
By natural features consider different fruit pubescence and tuberosity. Thorns are found white, brown or black, small and large knobby, there are also completely smooth varieties. It is believed that white thorns are suitable for salads, and black thorns are suitable for pickling.
In size, cucumbers are both small - from 4-5 cm (pickles, gherkins), and long - 30 cm and above.

Despite the fact that self-pollinated cucumber varieties were intended for greenhouses, now they are successfully grown outdoors, i.e. the harvest will no longer depend on the presence of bees and changeable weather

How to choose varieties of cucumbers for sowing?

Of course, each variety has its own nuances and advantages, the choice depends on personal preferences and needs. To take them into account in full, you need to answer a few questions that will help you navigate when buying seeds:

Where will the cucumber beds be located - in the sun or in the shade?
What cucumbers are needed in terms of consumer properties, sizes?
What are the preferable ripening periods?

What are the best varieties of self-pollinated open field cucumbers (hybrids)?

Self-pollinated cucumber varieties can be grown in any part of Russia, for this, check out their features

Basic rules for buying seeds

Buy seeds only from reputable, well-established companies. It is advisable to choose from those who have all-Russian fame and have been working on the market for a long time.
A prerequisite is packaging in branded bags. Do not hesitate to check the tightness of their seams, to see if the integrity of the package has been compromised.
Check the labeling, whether the name and contact details, variety name, batch number, weight (g) or quantity (pcs) are indicated. In case of any doubts, you can demand documents, certificates that are issued for each batch.
Ensure that the expiration date is indicated and acceptable. Information is usually found on the back of the package. The fertility of a plant directly depends on the shelf life of the seeds. For cucumbers, the third year of storage is considered optimal, the plants are stronger, with an increased number of female flowers, but fresh seeds can fail. At proper storage the germination capacity of cucumber seeds lasts for 6-8 years.
Plan the purchase of the desired variety or hybrid in advance, read the literature, think over what kind of cucumber you want to end up with, make a list of the seeds you need.
When choosing, pay the main attention not to the colorful picture, but to the characteristics of the variety, the terms and conditions of its cultivation. Some novice vegetable growers make the mistake of focusing on high yield figures, but do not take into account that this is, for example, a late-ripening variety, and even without growth restrictions. Such plants will give many shoots, flowers, but without proper agricultural technology and inept formation of lashes, as well as in unsuitable weather conditions, they may not give the expected yield.
If you are not familiar with a variety or hybrid, do not rely on the description of planting dates and agricultural practices on the seed bag. It happens that such councils absolutely do not take into account regional climatic conditions. Better to find information in reference literature or count on your own experience.

If you store cucumber seeds correctly (in a sealed package, in a dry place), then the germination of cucumber seeds is maintained for 6-8 years

How to grow self-pollinated open field cucumbers

To unleash all the yielding possibilities of hybrids, pay attention to the important points in their cultivation:

It's time for seeds to go to the ground when it warms up at a depth of 11 cm to +12 degrees C, and the air temperature will be from +15 and above. Early species can be grown in seedlings.
The crop thrives on ridges with light and loose neutral soil. Place them from north to south, then the plants will receive sufficient sunlight.
Form cucumber lashes in time, shortening unnecessary shoots, do not allow the plantings to thicken too much. Remember that the plant will produce as many fruits as it can feed.
Do not forget about timely feeding and watering, do not allow the land to dry out or waterlogged.
Sow cucumbers at 2-3 week intervals to prolong fruiting.

Advice#1. It's time to sow cucumbers, if the first leaves of the oak have blossomed, and mass flowering of dandelions has begun.

Advice#2. It is very important to remove the formed greens on time. The more young cucumbers are removed, the more new ovaries are formed. The cucumbers should be cut with a knife, and not torn off the stem, so as not to damage it. Remember that plant whips are very delicate.

For preparations for combating some diseases and pests of cucumbers, see the table below.

Product name	Appointment	Consumption	Method	Number of treatments
Colloidal sulfur	Powdery mildew, anthracnose, ascochitosis	Solution: 20-40 g per 10 liters of water, consumption - 1 liter per 10 sq. M.	Treatment before flowering, in case of disease - every 10 days	4-5
Bordeaux mix	Against bacteriosis, peronosporosis, anthracnose	50 g of copper sulfate and lime per 5 liters of water	Spray during the growing season	3
Spark Gold	Against whitefly, aphids, thrips	Solution: 5 ml per 10 l of water, consumption - 5-10 l per 100 m2	Spraying in the presence of pests	2
Medvetox	Against ants and bears	105 g per 30 sq.m	Apply to the soil around the beds and plants, depth - up to 5 cm	1-2

Cucumbers should be cut with a knife, and not torn from the stem, so as not to damage the lashes of the plant

Answers to current questions

Question number 1. Do I need to somehow process and warm up hybrid seeds before sowing?

No, hybrid seeds do not need pretreatment.

Question number 2. After what vegetable crops can I place cucumbers?

It is advisable to use the beds after peas, corn, legumes, onions, tomatoes, cabbage, celery. Avoid precursors like pumpkin seeds.

Question number 3. Why do the ovaries turn yellow and fall off? How to deal with this?

This happens when the soil is waterlogged or lacks nutrients. Let the soil dry out and feed the plants, preferably with liquid fertilizers, they are better absorbed.

Question number 4. Why do cucumbers grow deformed, pear-shaped, widened at the stalk and tapering towards the end?

This usually happens when the plants lack nitrogen. Additional signs are thin shoots, crumbling, pale or yellowed leaves. The problem will be solved by feeding with herbal infusions, nitrophosphate or organic solutions - droppings, mullein.

Question number 5. Why did a brown border appear on the edges of the leaves, and why the fruits expand towards the tip and narrowed at the stalk?

There was a potassium deficiency. Apply dressing by mixing a half-liter can of ash with water, let the solution settle and pour 1 liter under the bush.

Question number 6. There are a lot of barren flowers, the fruits do not set well, what is the reason?

One of the reasons is too hot weather and high temperatures. An excess of nitrogen in the soil is also possible, while powerful stems and leaves are formed, but the flowering is very weak, there are few fruits.

Cucumber - belongs to the pumpkin family and is considered one of the most useful vegetables that are grown by domestic gardeners.

Types of cucumbers for planting in the country

Cucumbers can be divided into two types:

Soil	Greenhouse

Planting vegetables in the greenhouse produces good results and is less labor intensive. If this is not possible, this is not a problem, since it will not be difficult to create a garden of cucumbers in the open field, the main thing is to follow certain rules.

In order to grow cucumbers in the open field, you must:

will be determined with the variety;
know how to care;
Adhere to the rules of disembarkation, processing.

This culture loves warmth, so it grows well in hot areas. On average, the comfortable temperature ranges from 20 to 25 degrees during the daytime and below 15 at night. In this case, there will be no problems with growing. If the weather is not happy and the temperature drops to 10 degrees, then problems arise. What's happening? The growth of the vegetable stops, and if the cold snap is prolonged, the plant may die altogether.

Council number 1. If you use your seeds for planting, then it is more correct to keep them warm in winter.

Before purchasing seedlings, experienced gardeners recommend paying attention to the descriptive characteristics of the variety, and the final results. To begin with, the best option is to provide a variety of varieties.

There are the following types of varieties :

late ripening, mid-season and early varieties;
for salads - used for food;
small to pickle;
large.

What should you consider when choosing a variety of cucumbers?

The need for pollination - self-pollinated varieties or parthenocarpic and pollinated by bees.
Resistant to cold snaps and frosts, and to dry and hot weather.
Resistance to diseases of a different nature, which are common. For example: rot, mosaic, cladosporium and others.
And the process of plant branching - affects the yield.

Council number 2. It should be borne in mind that when planting an open type, it is worth stopping the choice on selective cucumbers and zoned varieties.

Council number 3... Despite the fact that hybrids are adapted to changes in weather conditions, it is necessary to stock up on covering material in case of frost.

When is it time to plant cucumbers?

The landing process depends on the region and climatic factors. The best period for planting is when the spring frosts end and the earth begins to gradually warm up.

Let's take a closer look at the following factors. :

For several weeks, the air temperature should not go beyond minus 10 degrees.
Weather changes should be monitored to make sure the frost has receded. Watch the winds, if westerly southerly winds blow, it means that cold snaps are no longer expected this season.
The soil temperature should rise gradually. The best way Is within 12 degrees. This important point, since the seeds rise quickly, literally within a week.
Cucumbers are sown in the plots last, when other crops have already made themselves felt.

High-quality seed treatment before planting

Before processing, it is worth calibrating the material. Not all seeds are suitable for germination, they can be expired or damaged. To protect yourself and grow an ecologically clean and fertile crop, you should process the seeds.

There are several harmless and beneficial remedies. They are time-tested and recommended by gardeners:

Manganese. Yes, it is manganese that is a faithful helper. With the help of a solution of potassium permanganate, it is possible to arrest the development of diseases and fungi that can infect seeds. But, this should be done very carefully, because manganese is very dry. In a weak solution, the soaking period is on average 3 days. After this procedure, the prepared seedlings are laid in the ground.
If manganese is not at hand, then aloe juice is an alternative substitute. To make a solution, the leaves are carefully cut, placed in a dark tissue paper, and stored in the refrigerator for two weeks. And just before disembarking, the juice is squeezed out and diluted with water.
Honey has long been used to stimulate growth. Seeds are poured with diluted honey and water.
Warming up the seeds. Seedlings can be warmed up under the influence of sunlight or at home on a battery

Preparatory process before landing

The soil is prepared before planting the seeds. We select a piece of land and form the beds. Next, we prepare the holes. It is worth considering that it is advisable to fertilize and water them. Cucumbers have small roots, so we fertilize pointwise, just those holes. Make a distance of about 500 mm between the dug holes. If you plan to land on special supports, then you may well reduce the distance between them in half.

We take care of seedlings

When the very first shoots pass, a vacuum is carried out. Since several seeds are laid in the hole, they try to choose the strongest of them. This manipulation is best done when the first leaves are already visible. So as not to damage root system the plants gently break off the extra shoots, and do not pull.

The seedling care process must be started in warm weather. To do this, they are watered with lukewarm water. When the sprouts grow up to thirty centimeters, they are huddled, in order to be able to form an additional root system, which will have a positive effect on the amount of the crop. Until the plants have grown, you need to loosen the soil near the shoots.

The timing of the appearance of the first cucumbers directly depends on pollination. It is carried out by insects, but if this is not possible, then it is better to stop the choice on self-pollinating varieties.

There is an option to accelerate the growth of cucumbers. Seedlings can be germinated in peat cups. This is a safe method because the possibility of root damage is minimized.

How to water cucumbers?

Before flowering, the plant is watered sparingly, every 5-6 days. And when the flowering period starts actively, cucumbers should be watered abundantly, every two days.

An interesting fact is that it depends on watering what your greens will taste like. If you dry out the soil, then bitterness cannot be avoided. Watering is carried out using a watering can, it is advisable not to use the jet watering option - this can damage the roots.

How to accelerate plant growth?

Like many crops, cucumbers need organic feeding. This should be done at the very beginning of flowering. Thereafter, every week, when the plant bears fruit.

Weeds - can serve as an obstacle to the normal growth of culture. Therefore, weed control is one of the key actions.

One more question: what exactly do you need cucumbers for: for fresh consumption or for? Their varieties are conventionally divided into 3 groups according to their purpose: pickling, salad, universal... Naturally, each of the varieties has its own advantages, but everyone should choose the optimal one for himself, depending on his needs and desires. For example, I always plant half of the pickling varieties and 25% each for salad and universal.

By the way, the secrets of growing cucumbers have already been mentioned, and it can also be useful when choosing varieties.

I would definitely like to have a self-pollinated parthenocarpic variety or hybrid, very early for a greenhouse. The hybrid Masha F1 meets these requirements. The harvest is always high, the cucumbers are tied in a bunch. They are good in salads, preserved, small size. I don't really like that this hybrid with moderate branching of lateral shoots, therefore, requires shaping. But the amount of harvest, high taste, resistance to the most common diseases more than cover this shortcoming. Actually, this is not a drawback, this property just requires increased attention during the period of growth and formation of shoots. In addition, it is very important that this hybrid is practically not susceptible to the most dangerous cucumber diseases - cladosporiosis, cucumber mosaic virus, powdery mildew, relatively resistant to downy mildew.
Pickling - when overgrown, they become coarse, lose their taste.

An early ripening hybrid of the female flowering type for open ground, tunnels, spring greenhouses. It is characterized by abundant fruiting in a wide temperature range, actively bears fruit until late autumn. Photophilous, medium or above average branching (high yield load on the main stem restrains the intensive regrowth of lateral shoots). In the nodes, from 2-3 to 5-7 ovaries are formed. Zelentsy are lumpy, white-spiked, bright green in color, 8-11 cm long; taste and salting qualities are high. The hybrid is resistant to powdery mildew, olive spot, common cucumber mosaic virus, tolerant to downy mildew.

All of them have excellent pickling properties, the cucumbers are tasty and crunchy. Unlike hybrids, they all produce good seed.

Important: having opted for the seeds of varietal plants, you, in the future, will be able to independently receive your seeds without spending money on an annual purchase. Hybrids that are marked as "F1" (heterotic), if they give offspring, are completely different to the parent plant, since the combination of characteristic features is not stable and is preserved only in the first generation.
These are mainly Russian varieties and hybrids. They are excellent in salting. Brine gradually penetrates through the rare bumps, the dense pulp does not soften. The main thing with such a salting is the length of time and a low constant temperature. No other varieties or hybrids are suitable for cold pickling. Only these. That is, varieties with sparsely located black thorns. These include such varieties as "Salting", "Aquarius", hybrids "Nightingale F1", "Real Colonel F1", "Lilliput F1", and many others.

Their distinctive features are that their fruits are small, medium-sized tubercles, with thorns, which are located more often than in Russian varieties. This type of peel is called a Dutch shirt. They have a bouquet bloom - sometimes up to 10 ovaries in one bunch, bear fruit for a long time, are good for pickling. Harvesting can begin no later than they reach a length of 5-7 cm. Experts advise adding as much seasoning as possible when pickling them. Overgrown fruits become tough, hard and tasteless. Cucumbers of this type include, for example, hybrids "Ekol F1", "Temp F1", "Herman F1", and others.

Parthenocarpic and self-pollinated greenhouse varieties of cucumbers are most suitable for growing in greenhouses, since to attract pollinating insects to the greenhouse (see How to attract bees to a greenhouse to grow a good harvest), you will have to make no small efforts: plant in advance plants that can attract insects, or carry out regular spraying of cucumber flowers with sugar-containing solutions.More preferable for greenhouses, their fruiting is more extended. This type has several subspecies.

Why is this subtype interesting? I would recommend them to those summer residents who do not have the opportunity to often come to the country. That is, you harvested, watered everything and left for a week. In your absence, cucumbers grow to a certain size, that is, they practically do not outgrow, they themselves limit the growth of shoots, the growth of fruits. These include hybrids - Buyan.F1, Boy with a finger F1, Matryoshka F1, Farmer F1, Maryina Roshcha F1, Chistye Prudy F1.

High-yielding early-ripening hybrid of female flowering type for open and protected ground. It is characterized by intensive growth, an abundance of ovaries, good regrowth of lateral shoots. In the nodes, from 2-3 to 5-7 or more ovaries are formed. There are so many ovaries on the plant that the hybrid can be grown to collect and preserve micro-picks (3-5-day-old ovaries, 3-5 cm long). Zelentsy are bright green, lumpy, white-thorny, 9-12 cm long, with crispy flesh. The frequency of tubercles is average. Salting, taste and canning qualities are high. The hybrid is resistant to powdery mildew, olive spot, common cucumber mosaic virus, tolerant to downy mildew.
If you prefer tiny crunchy cucumbers. Then the seeds "Lilliput" and "Parisian gherkin" will be the best choice. Using them, you can easily achieve great results. They have very high yield, great taste and high salting properties. Salting variety "Barrel pickling F1" does not require the use of preservatives. Using even the largest and substandard fruits, you will definitely get an excellent result.
