How to choose self-pollinated varieties of cucumbers for growing in the greenhouse. Greenhouse cucumber varieties - what we know about them. Leaving without "chemistry" or how to increase the yield of cucumbers in the greenhouse

Cucumbers are a very popular garden crop, despite the fact that caring for them requires certain skills and knowledge. What determines the high yield of cucumbers? There are several factors worth noting:

• Adequate lighting - polycarbonate greenhouse provides a good level of lighting for growing cucumbers due to the technical properties of the material. Transparent polycarbonate, used as a greenhouse coating, does not block the sun's rays, transmitting up to 90% of the light. Frosted polycarbonate transmits only 65% ​​of the sun's rays, which is not enough for the normal development of light-loving cucumbers.
• Compliance with the complex of agrotechnical measures for growing cucumbers in the greenhouse - it is very important to carry out timely feeding; nipping cucumber lashes; treatment of landings from the pest.
• Fertile soil - properly prepared soil mixture will allow to get high yields of cucumbers. The soil for the crop is prepared from fertile soil with a neutral reaction. The throughput and absorption capacity of the soil is high. You can follow this composition for refueling cucumber ridges: a mixture of humus (30%), peat (50%); coarse sand for better drainage and aeration of the roots (20%). It is allowed to add rotted sawdust from coniferous wood to the ready mix at a ratio of 1: 1.

• Uniform watering - cucumbers are almost 90% water, so insufficient watering immediately affects the condition of the plants. Cucumber lash wither, leaves turn yellow, buds and Zelentsy fall. In the greenhouse it is necessary to carry out abundant regular watering, then the harvest will not take long.
• Making the necessary dressings - the culture is responsive to fertilization, so you should feed cucumbers several times per season.
• The choice of varieties is the most basic requirement for a bountiful harvest. ABOUT the right choice  varieties for planting should talk separately.

What cucumbers to plant and why

Each gardener, planting varietal cucumbers, comes from certain preferences:

1. Get tasty fruit.
2. Grow a rich harvest.
3. Priority - pickling quality.
4. A selection of early ripening varieties.
5. Resistance to diseases.

In greenhouses, priority is given to early maturing varieties resistant to diseases. It is beneficial for the farm to get a rich harvest of transportable vegetables with the usual taste qualities.

In a private greenhouse, you can grow rare varieties with special taste and pickling qualities, even if these varieties require more thorough care. Often, gardeners in private farms cultivate new items of world breeding, experiencing new hybrids of cucumbers.

Terms of ripening cucumbers

Different varieties of cucumbers differ in different terms of ripening. This should be considered when planting in greenhouses, especially when planting in the summer. Varieties are divided into ripening:

• 40 to 45 days - group early cucumbers.
• From 46 to 50 days - medium early varieties.
• From 51 to 56 days - mid-season varieties of cucumbers.
• Over 56 days - cucumbers belong to late-ripening varieties.

Cucumbers - types of pollination

Cucumber varieties are subdivided according to the method of pollination: there are a bee-pollinating group and parthenocarpic (self-pollinating) varieties.

In the first case, the presence of insects is necessary for harvest. Usually bumblebees or bees act as pollinators of cucumber flowers, but there are agrotechnical methods of forced pollination for this group of plants.

Partenocarpic varieties do not need pollination at all, the name is not entirely correct - self-pollinated. Such cucumbers form the fruits themselves, and the characteristic feature of parthenocarpic fruits is the almost complete absence of seeds.

Division of varieties by seasonality

Of great importance is the separation of all varietal cucumbers by seasonality. In total there are three groups of plants:

• Winter-spring varieties - are distinguished by high yields, tolerate the lack of lighting. Short period of fruiting. Varieties are not suitable for growing in the hot period, prone to disease.
• Spring-summer varietal cucumbers - are resistant to diseases and temperature changes. Poor tolerate low light. The varieties of the spring-summer group bear fruit for a long time and give a rich harvest.

Council Winter-spring group of high-quality cucumbers - great for growing in a greenhouse in winter. Differ in short term from shoots before receiving the first fruits (about 3 months are required). This group of cucumbers is most popular with summer residents, who receive significant yields from a small area of ​​greenhouses.

Cucumbers - proven yield varieties for polycarbonate greenhouses

For cultivation in greenhouses from polycarbonate, it is worth choosing varieties that have passed the test of time, have good yield and resistance to disease. Varieties of cucumbers, recommended by experienced gardeners for greenhouse cultivation:

"Suomi" - quite cold-resistant variety, different early ripening fruits. The first Zelentsy in technical ripeness appear on plants within six weeks after sowing. High taste. For the Suomi variety, poorly heated greenhouses are suitable - plants are cold resistant. Suitable for middle band  Russia and the Urals.

Cucumbers "Valaam Hybrid" - characterized by a long period of fruiting, resistance to cold. Recommended for cultivation in the northern regions of Russia. Fruits of medium size, even, they are suitable for salting.

“Sarovsky” is a variety of cucumbers that does not require care (it is not afraid of a short daylight, it develops well without lighting up more). Productivity is high. Early fruit ripening.

Partenokarpiki - varieties of cucumbers that do not require pollination

Variety "Orpheus" - small in size fruits have a delicious taste. The variety has a high yield and ripening.

"Cheetah" - the most positive reviews about the variety: it does not require pollination, it is practically not susceptible to diseases. Amazing taste.

Cucumber variety "Cupid" - the advantages of this variety in the female type of flowering. Medium-sized cucumbers grow from numerous ovaries. Salt variety with high taste.

Variety "Glafira" - large cucumbers grow on lashes even in adverse conditions, especially the variety is resistant to insufficient lighting. You can recommend it for cultivation in the northern regions of Russia, as well as in Siberia.

"Emerald" - self-pollinating variety with flowering on the female type. Differs in high tastes and amicable maturing.

Breeders cultivated varieties of gherkins, small fruits that ripen almost simultaneously on the entire scourge. Gherkins are indispensable in salting and canning, they can be used raw for salads. The range of varieties has been significantly expanded, almost all gherkins are suitable for growing in polycarbonate greenhouse complexes.

For growing in greenhouses, bee-pollinated varieties are also recommended, which are distinguished by high yields and exceptional taste. Of course, it is not easy to get a rich harvest from such varieties; you need to lure the bees into the greenhouse. To do this, before the entrance put bouquets of spicy-flavoring herbs, sprinkled with syrup. Varieties "Nina"; "Micron"; "Teryoshechka"; The trickle will give a wonderful harvest in greenhouses when pollinated by insects.

The choice of cucumber varieties for greenhouses is very wide, it is impossible to describe all varieties in one article. Each gardener has his own cherished varieties, which give a rich harvest every year. Testing new breeding always attracts the opportunity to open a new, unique variety that will generously delight the crop.

Cucumber varieties: video

Growing cucumbers in the greenhouse, you can get early products for spring salads and later for canning, assorted blanks with tomatoes, squash and other autumn vegetables. The main thing is to choose the right varieties so that cucumbers will delight you all summer or only in the period you need.

What cucumbers can be planted in the greenhouse in spring and summer

In different greenhouses (from film, polycarbonate, glass, combined), an approximately equal microclimate is created that is favorable for cucumbers. This culture is positively affected by increased humidity, because air-tight surfaces create a greenhouse effect. In addition, in the greenhouse is not as much as in the open field, there are fluctuations in day and night temperatures. In the shelter of cucumbers are not afraid of frost in the spring and cold dew in the fall.

In the greenhouse cucumbers are grown on the trellis, which allows you to place more plants per 1 m² than in open ground in spreading

But there are disadvantages of a confined space: diseases spread rapidly, there are no natural pollinators (bees and other insects). To prevent diseases, the greenhouse needs to be aired, and for cucumbers to set up on their own - to buy self-pollinating, parthenocarpic varieties. You can also pick up varieties that are resistant to diseases, easily tolerate prolonged overcast weather, cold or heat resistant.

The optimum temperature for cucumbers: + 22 ... +24 ⁰C. During the day should not be above +30 ⁰C, and at night below +18 ⁰C. Irreversible violations begin with a cold snap of up to + 5 ... +8 C. At + 35 ... +40 ⁰C, the ovaries stop growing and the ovary dries out.

Early varieties of cucumbers for greenhouses

These varieties are grown for spring and summer salads, but there are also universal purpose, suitable for harvesting. Consider that when planting early cucumbers in the spring, you will not be able to make autumn mixed blanks such as platter, cucumbers in sauerkraut, etc. By the time cabbage, tomatoes, zucchini and other vegetables are ripe, cucumbers will have stopped fruiting. Many gardeners sow skorospelki twice per season: in spring and summer, or buy indeterminant hybrids with stretched fruiting. Early varieties  - a magic wand in the case when you were late with a landing, for example, a greenhouse was built for a long time, it was June in the courtyard. Even with such a late sowing before the onset of autumn, you will have time to grow and harvest.

Indeterminate cucumbers are characterized by unlimited growth, they continue to grow, even reaching the greenhouse ceiling, fruiting lasts until frost. In the determinant, the lash, having reached the characteristic length for the variety, stops growing.

Courage

Many grow this hybrid for several years and are not going to give it up. The reason is a stable yield - an average of 18 kg / m². Courage bushes vigorous, branched. With good feeding, the ovaries are formed in bunches. Cucumbers grow up to 14 cm long and weighing up to 120 g. Peel is green with frequent, medium-sized tubercles. Up to one third of the length of the fruit are light green stripes. The first harvest you can collect on the 40th day after germination. The variety requires a professional approach, it is necessary to competently form a bush, in particular, to pinch constantly growing stepchildren.

Fan

This parthenocarpic hybrid is grown only for fresh consumption, it is not suitable for canning. Early fruiting is at 38–40 days. The bush has unlimited growth, but it forms few shoots, that is, you will have no problems with formation. All flowers are exclusively female, form the ovary without pollination. 3-4 cucumbers weighing 80–100 g each will appear in each node. Zelentsy are short (8–10 cm), cylindrical, the skin is thin and smooth, without tubercles, but there is a pubescence. When planting in the greenhouse according to the 40x50 cm scheme, the yield is a record for fast ripening - 19.8 kg / m².

Dmitry Donskoy

The hybrid shows itself well in different growing conditions: open ground, greenhouse, temporary greenhouse. It is relative new variety, got to the State Register in 2015. The first cucumbers will have to wait 40–41 days after mass shoots. Shrubs with unlimited growth of the main scourge, few stepsons, 1–2 ovaries grow in each bosom of the leaf, so the average yield is about 11 kg / m². The fruits of Dmitry Donskoy are very beautiful, leveled in size, have a regular cylindrical shape and are covered with a natural wax coating. The weight of each is 90–95 g. Main advantages: excellent taste, universal purpose (salads and pickling), as well as resistance to cladosporia, however, may be affected by powdery mildew and viral mosaic.

String bag

This is also parthenocarpic hybrid for greenhouses, refers to the indeterminant type. In each node, 2–3 cucumbers are formed, but their weight is greater than that of the above mentioned ones - 120–150 g.  In addition, if Veer and Dmitry Donskoy are distinguished by weak branching, then Avoska is a medium branchy, that is, more time will have to be given to the formation of a bush. But the harvest is not bad - up to 13.2 kg / m². Fruits are ribbed, with thorns. The taste is good, you can eat fresh and make preparations for the winter.

Reviews of early cucumbers for the greenhouse

Courage soot more than 5 years. The hybrid is very stable in terms of good yield, resistance to diseases and adverse weather conditions, and also has a long fruiting. It grows very powerfully, the stepchildren need to be pinned regularly, otherwise there will be a forest of leaves and few fruits. Good in the blanks. When fresh, it is also good, but it is inferior in taste to bee-pollinated and salad varieties / hybrids. One of the earliest cucumbers on my site. The first fruits ripen in the greenhouse in early June. For the formation of bouquet ovaries you need to "feed" it well.

http://www.tomat-pomidor.com/newforum/index.php?topic=4523.0

Avoski grew all the same three bush. And no one liked the taste of cucumbers, quite like grass, no cucumber taste. So more Avoska buy and I will not.

http://www.tomat-pomidor.com/newforum/index.php?topic=6554.40

Choose a variety based on where you need cucumbers. If for salting or marinating some, for salads others, but there are also universal, which I personally prefer. I don’t dare to name many varieties, I’ll just say that we liked 2 hybrid, early, not bitter and very fruitful varieties: “Adam” and “Levin”.

Varieties of cucumbers for greenhouses of different ripening terms (video)

Spray cucumbers for the greenhouse

Usually in a greenhouse, cucumbers are grown in one stem, tying the main whip to the trellis, and the side ones are pinned over a 2–4 ​​leaf. With this technology, the entire volume of the greenhouse, up to the ceiling itself, is used as efficiently as possible. That is why for greenhouses create hybrids growing in one stem. They do not require insect pollinators to set fruit, since all flowers are female.

Spray varieties form male flowers (barren flowers), require pollinators, are intended for cultivation in open ground, they can be planted on the balcony, sown in containers and large pots. In plants, a short stem and 3–5 lashes are up to 40–60 cm long, with good watering they can grow by a meter, and they bear fruit. In a greenhouse, one such bush will occupy more land than parthenocopy tied to a trellis, and it will yield much less fruit. It is possible to grow shrubs in a greenhouse if there are always open doors and windows in it, there is access for insects, you do not save space and do not pursue high yields from 1 m². For the sake of experiment and accumulation personal experience  buy bush cucumbers, grow 3-5 shrubs in the greenhouse next to parthenocarpic hybrids and compare the results. Perhaps in your family a low consumption of cucumbers and harvest from the bush you will be enough.

Baby

The variety is bee-pollinated, it sets fruit only where insects can fly into: under temporary shelter, in a greenhouse or a small greenhouse. Seeds of the Baby are distinguished by good germination. Bushes are compact, the main lash grows to 30–60 cm. You will find the first cucumbers on the garden on the 40th day after germination. They are small - up to 90 g, with large tubercles and white spines. The baby is resistant to major diseases of cucumbers. Suitable for summer salads and canning for the winter. The skin is rough, although it is even a plus for salting.  In winter, cucumbers from the jar will be crispy. Productivity - 5.3 kg / m².

Burly

Also bee-pollinated variety, created for cultivation in the open ground, spring film greenhouses and greenhouses. The first harvest can be harvested after 48 days of care. The bush gives a short, sometimes medium length, whip. Cucumbers ellipsoid, less cylindrical, on the surface are large tubercles with white spikes. The mass of each fruit is up to 100 g. Purpose is universal. The taste is good and excellent. The Krepysh variety is resistant to cladosporia, as well as to false and true powdery mildew. The maximum yield is about 8 kg / m².

Fortification

The hybrid is partially self-pollinating, there are barren flowers, but female flowers prevail. Can be grown in ventilated greenhouses. Shrub, like the previous ones, compact, slightly branchy. The first greenhouses are ready for rent on the 42nd day. In each bosom, up to three cucumbers can be tied, their length is maximum 10 cm, average weight is 70 g. The surface is covered with frequent and small tubercles. Chill is resistant to most cucumber diseases. The yield is low - 7.4 kg / m².

Reviews gardeners on bush cucumbers

In general, I liked the variety of cucumber Chunks. These are the very first cucumbers, which began to give fruit last season without much care for them, although the weather last summer was very ... not summer. I will not say that cucumbers were abundant, but we ate and preserved. In the banks, cucumbers remained dense and crispy, which I really liked.

I planted bush cucumbers. It turned out quite interesting, the bushes they have like a zucchini, only smaller. The yield is average, but they do not need a garter.

Lily

I want to report on the bush cucumbers. Planted directly into the ground with soaked seeds. started and went to the growth of all 16 seeds. We grew the most ordinary cucumbers (yes, I did not pinch anything), whips. I thought maybe instead of 1 of the brains it will grow by 3-4 pieces - also not - by 1 cucumber. Why bush, did not understand. And the yield was lower than ordinary. Now I know. So I told you. No wonder buying!

Long Cucumber Reviews

In my greenhouse usually sits four cucumber bushes. Three bushes for salting and one for food in the middle of summer. So this one bush is the cucumber Zozulya F1. He gives a wonderful harvest in the form of cucumbers. In the summer, our family prepares salads from fresh vegetables and fruits every day. We have one bush is enough for friends and distribute.

Chinese snakes are an unusual cucumber, they can grow up to half a meter in length, do not outgrow and large fruits have the same delicate taste and delicate skin. It is desirable to grow this variety, tied to a support, so that the fruits grow vertically. If the cucumber lies on the ground, it will take a bizarre, curved shape.

The best Dutch varieties for greenhouses

Dutch varieties have long been very popular with our gardeners. These are mainly parthenocarpic hybrids; they do not need pollinators. The next advantage is an excellent presentation. With easy care the bushes and fruits grow very beautiful. In terms of crop yield, it cannot be said that the Dutch are superior to the Russian ones. There are local, regionalized cucumbers capable of producing up to 20 kg / m², many imported ones have more modest indicators. But all the seeds coming from Holland are processed with stimulants and disinfectants; therefore, they have high germination capacity, the cucumbers that grow very quickly grow and become stronger.

Hermann

Ultra-fast and versatile variety. Herman is loved by many gardeners: both beginners and professionals. The first Zelentsi is happy already on day 36, but mass fruiting comes a little later - on day 42. This parthenokarpik will delight the harvest and in the lingering cloudy weather, and on hot days. Fruits are tasty fresh and in winter preparations. Determinate bushes with female flowers, in the bosom of each leaf grows up to 7 cucumbers.  The size of Zelentsov is 9–11 cm, weight is 70–90 g. Plus: resistance to many diseases, excellent taste of fresh and canned cucumbers. But since the main lash has a limited growth, fruiting also ends after the completion of its development, therefore Herman's yield is lower than that of indeterminant hybrids - 8.5–9.0 kg / m². Of course, it is not enough for industrial cultivation and for sale, but it is quite enough for a family.

Masha

Perfect hybrid for lovers of early products. The fruits are removed already on the 36th day, they are medium-sized - 8–9 cm, covered with tubercles with white spikes, tasty and fragrant, without bitterness. Masha behaves perfectly in salting, the cucumbers are crispy, the banks do not explode and are stored for a long time. In care the grade is unpretentious, does not demand formation. The bush is determinant-type, the growth of the main scourge is limited, spawn formation is weak, while the yield for fasting is good - up to 12 kg / m².

Gunnar

The yield of the hybrid is 14–20 kg / m². This is explained by the fact that the plant is indeterminate, tall, moreover, in each leaf bosom it fastens several cucumbers (up to 5 pcs.). Fruits are covered with dark green peel, white-necked, grow no more than 13 cm in length. Those who have tried Gunnar praise his taste. Cucumber contains 5.3% sugar, it contains a lot of ascorbic acid.

When spring sowing, this hybrid will supply you with greenhouses until October.  Suitable for making salads, good in pickled form, canned platter and other blanks.

Often it has a systematic character, and is aimed at generating income from their sale. In order for the work of those engaged in this business to justify themselves a hundredfold, you need not only to carefully and competently care for the crop, but also to know such secrets as the yield of cucumber varieties, seasonality and their beneficial features. Cucumbers are superearly, early, middle and late. They are also divided into self-pollinated and parthenocarpic. What varieties are suitable for your greenhouse depends on the time of year and your personal plans for growing cucumbers.

High yield of cucumbers in the greenhouse: how to get a good ovary

In any designs, from enthusiasm to obtain a stable, profitable harvest is often one step. This happens to those who from the very beginning with the utmost responsibility refers to the cultivation of cucumbers, makes a capital greenhouse and equip it in every way.

A good harvest in the greenhouse of cucumbers is the crown of success, the result of long labor. From the beginning of the preparation of the greenhouse in autumn until the first fruits appear, at least six months pass.

In order for cucumbers planted in greenhouse soil, began to bear fruit abundantly, it is necessary to do a lot of preparatory activities that promote the growth and productivity of the crop.

Greenhouse preparation for a good harvest:

• From autumn it is necessary to prepare humus and manure, which should be brought into the greenhouse in the spring and mixed with the ground;
• Before planting plants or seeds, it is necessary to treat the soil with potassium permanganate solution;
• It is necessary to warm up the greenhouse and the soil in it to the desired temperature;
• Cucumbers better planted seedlings. To do this, the seeds are planted on a small plot of land, and then transplanted to the right place.
• There must be constant humidity in the greenhouse. For each period of growth of cucumbers it is different.
• It is necessary to promptly remove weeds that have appeared between the plants, spud the beds and apply fertilizer.
• It is necessary to provide cucumber bushes with good lighting and ventilation.
• Plants need to pinch;
• Harvest from the bushes need to be collected regularly.

As you see, there are a lot of events, but having learned to use your time efficiently, you will eventually develop a strategy and even have time to rest.

Yield in a greenhouse: how many cucumbers can you get from a bush?

Experienced gardeners know that each cucumber variety has its own yield, as well as different period  from planting to the appearance of the first fruits. In addition, not all varieties of cucumbers are suitable for growing them in the greenhouse.

How many cucumbers from the bush can be obtained in the greenhouse depends on the variety of cucumbers. Hybrid varieties are characterized by increased fruitfulness in the greenhouse, while simple, self-pollinated cucumbers bear fruit better in the open field.

Currently, there are varieties of cucumbers, which are bred by breeders specifically for growing in greenhouse conditions. They are characterized by increased yield, but also more demanding to care for them. Such cucumbers can produce yields of up to 12 kg of cucumbers from a bush. The average yield of hybrid varieties of cucumbers - 10-15 kg per square meter.

The most fruitful for greenhouses varieties of cucumbers:

• Hector F1;
• Cupid F1;
• F1 favorite;
• Zozulya F1;
• Competitor;
• Zyatek;
• Dawn;
• Ajax F1;
• Dynamite F1;
• Sunrise F1;
• Orpheus F1;
• Annushka.

The average length of time from planting to the appearance of the first fruits ranges from 40 to 60 days. In 2-3 months you will be able to start a stable harvest.

Determine the duration of fruiting: how many cucumbers bear fruit in the greenhouse

Each variety of cucumbers is something different from all other varieties. This may be the speed of ripening, may be the appearance, and maybe the number of fruits that the plant is able to issue. This ability is called yield. The ideal yield of a variety is prescribed on the package with the seeds of cucumbers. But the number of cucumbers you get is influenced by several factors.

We will understand how many cucumbers bear fruit in the greenhouse. This will make it possible to understand what varieties of cucumbers should be purchased for planting in the greenhouse, and which are not.

The period of fruiting cucumbers in each class is different. But in addition, the yield is affected by the conditions that are created for their cultivation. If you fulfill all the whims of this demanding plant in a timely manner, you will be able to achieve good returns from them, and increase the fruiting period of your shoots.

The average duration of fruiting cucumbers:

• Superearly varieties of fruit - 1 month;
• Early varieties of fruit - 1-1.5 months;
• Mid-early varieties can produce ovaries of 1.5-3 months;
• Medium varieties bear fruit for 2-3 months;
• Late varieties of cucumbers can bear fruit for up to 2.5-3 months;

In addition, pollinated seed varieties require pollination. Without pollination, you will have some barren flowers on the cucumber leaves.

How to extend the period of fruiting cucumbers in the greenhouse

Any summer resident in his time is faced with the fact that closer to the autumn he sees on his favorites the first signs of imminent death. From this, my heart bleeds, but we have to be measured, since we understand that everything in our life has its end and its beginning. Likewise with cucumbers. Having given all their strength out of themselves, one fine moment they begin to bear less fruit first and then wither away.

But it is possible to prolong the fruiting period. If time to do the necessary procedures for this, then your pets will please you for a long time.

Carefully watch the cucumber tops. Especially after you managed to collect the fruits of the second and third ovaries. Pay attention to the fruits themselves. They should be juicy in appearance and resilient. Do not allow the dryness of the land under the cucumbers. Remember that the roots of cucumber tops do not go deep into the ground, and therefore can not pull water from a great depth.

What should be done to increase the fruiting period:

• For planting, use only large, well-weighted seeds;
• Heat the seeds before planting;
• After the appearance of the 4th sheet, pick the cucumber;
• Provide abundant watering for cucumbers;
• Sprinkle greenhouse walls to increase moisture;
• Using manure to increase the concentration of carbon dioxide in the greenhouse;
• Feed cucumbers during flowering;
• Remove weeds, spray from pests.

In the modern world, there is a lot of agriculturalists, contributing to obtain a high, rich crop of cucumbers in the greenhouse. Scientists - breeders bred many varieties of seeds, the harvest from which brings up to 30 kg. cucumbers with 1m 2.

To grow a good crop of cucumbers in a greenhouse, you need to know a few tricks known to experienced gardeners.

Do not neglect the accumulated life experience of crop lovers. Listen to their advice, and soon you too will share your discoveries with others.

Basic tips for novice gardeners:

• Plants must be tied up. Bushes lying on the ground, will die from blight.
• Seeds preferably planted biennial. Only female seeds live to the second year.
• Best used different varieties  cucumbers, and both hybrid and self-pollinated at the same time;
• Watch the acidity of the soil. Cucumbers will not grow in an acidic environment. If the soil is acidic, neutralize the acid with limestone.
• Do not let in the greenhouse overgrowth. The plant must be formed in time and pruned the excess lateral shoots.

Attention, only TODAY!

Cucumbers are a garden crop, among summer residents it is very popular, despite the fact that growing them is quite complicated and troublesome. Especially in the case when it comes to the greenhouse. In order to get a good harvest in greenhouses, you should take into account a lot of different factors - the timing of planting, the frequency of irrigation and dressing, methods of forming bushes, the frequency of ventilation, etc. Otherwise, all efforts can simply be wasted. About what varieties of cucumbers for greenhouses made of polycarbonate are most suitable, and we'll talk in this article.

Basic rules for selection

In most cases in our time hybrids are grown indoors. Dacha owners call them “varieties” only out of habit. We also will not deviate from the tradition. However, the reader must understand that if the title of the "variety" contains the English letter F and the number 1, then this is a hybrid of the first generation. And quality seeds from him will not succeed. On next year planting material  have to buy again.

So what kind of greenhouses exist? In order not to be mistaken with the choice of seeds for protected ground, when buying, one should always pay attention to such factors as:

• seasonality of the variety;
• type of branching;
• variety variety (normal, self-pollinated);
• the appointment of the fruit;
• degree of shade tolerance of plants;
• terms of fruit ripening.

With all these indicators, you can choose the best in this particular case varieties of cucumbers. Many varieties of this culture are suitable for polycarbonate greenhouses. But do not forget the most important factor in the selection - the variety must necessarily be zoned, that is, bred precisely for the area where the site is located.

Seasonality

All existing varieties of cucumbers, intended for greenhouses, are divided into three large groups:

• winter and spring;
• spring-summer;
• summer-autumn.

The first variety is distinguished by its low light intensity and very good yield. However, the period of fruiting of such cucumbers is not too long. Since the varieties of this group are not too resistant to all sorts of diseases, widespread in the warm season, it is not recommended to choose them for planting in late spring or summer. Good harvest  in this case, it will not be possible to get.

Spring-summer cucumbers are characterized by unpretentiousness and good yield. Such plants are usually resistant to diseases and low temperatures. Although varieties that are undemanding to lighting are found on the market, for the most part, cucumbers of the spring-summer group do not have a very high degree of resistance to shadow.

The main advantage of autumn varieties is a long fruiting. Cucumbers of this group are quite fruitful and unpretentious in terms of lighting.

The best varieties of winter-spring group

Having planted the seeds in mid-February, by May it is already possible to get quite mature Zelentsy. In this case, as you already understood, you should choose "winter" cucumbers for the greenhouse. The varieties (reviews about many of them from summer residents are very good) of this group will be easy to acquire. Buy, for example, available in almost every specialty store cucumbers:

• Blagovest 1.  This indeterminate (with unlimited growth of the stems) hybrid is resistant to the cucumber mosaic and powdery mildew. Its fruits have a cylindrical shape and are covered with tubercles of medium size. The weight of one green vegetable can reach 80-85 g. Blagovest 1 refers to parthenocarpic (self-pollinating) varieties. The fruits of this cucumber can be used for salads, and for canning.
• Moscow greenhouse F1.  Parthenocarpic hybrid early with long (up to 40 cm) palelyvidnye greens.
• F1 relay  - high-yielding mid-season hybrid pollinated by insects. It is usually grown in the spring (with the appearance of insects by the time the buds opened). Covered with large, rare tubercles, fruits of the Relay 1 can reach a weight of 140-200 g. Usually they are used to make salads. But marinating is allowed.
• Manual F1.  Also, bee-pollinating hybrid, intended for growing in spring. To its merits can be attributed primarily resistance to cucumber mosaic. When too early landing may be affected by necrosis. Fruits are used mainly for salads.

Spring-Summer Group

• Zozulu F1. Hybrid female type of flowering, characterized by friendly fruiting. Zelentsy average length can reach a mass of 150-200 grams.
• April F1.  The fruits of this hybrid have very good taste and can reach a weight of 160-300 g.

Both of these varieties are resistant to diseases and have a good yield.
