One of the criteria that vegetable growers follow when choosing cucumber seeds is the method of fertilization of the ovaries: bee-pollinated or self-pollinated.

But in the State Register of cucumbers there is no definition of “self-pollinating”, only parthenocarpic and bee-pollinated varieties and hybrids. And this is not surprising, since the familiar, and understandable to many, word “self-pollinating” is not applicable to cucumbers and implies the same parthenocarpic hybrids.

These hybrids are the result of breeding work. They are intended for closed greenhouses and areas where bees do not fly. All flowers in parthenocarpics develop into fruits without the participation of insects.

Description and features of parthenocarpics

The fruits of parthenocarpic cucumbers have a number of advantages:

• excellent taste, without bitterness;
• identical shape and size of greens;
• high yield, large number of ovaries;
• long-term storage;
• tolerate transportation well;
• form fruits in any weather without pollination;
• lack of seeds in ripe cucumbers;
• immunity to common cucumber diseases.

Such cucumbers are indispensable for growing in protected soil conditions - a greenhouse, balcony or window sill.
Fruits that are formed with parthenocarpy have no seeds or contain seeds without embryos. Therefore, in order to plant the same variety next year, you need to purchase seeds again. They cannot be obtained from your own harvest, as is the case with bee-pollinated cucumbers.

Based on all these characteristics, the seeds of paternocarpics have a higher price than the seeds of bee-pollinated cucumbers.

For growing cucumbers in open ground, it is preferable to grow varieties and hybrids that are pollinated by insects. The fact is that parthenocarpic cucumbers in open ground with temperature fluctuations can form curved, irregularly shaped fruits.

Dina, 35 years old, Kaluga region.

Despite the fact that parthenocarpics seem to be intended for greenhouses, we tried to plant Bjorn cucumbers in open ground. We prepared the seedlings at home; the seeds were not soaked, but sown dry, one at a time, in plastic cups. They all sprouted within 2-3 days. When transplanting into the garden bed, I noticed how powerful the roots were. ... bouquet ovaries immediately began to form on them, and cucumbers began to pour one after another. You need to collect at least every other day so as not to overload the plant. Picked cucumbers are perfectly stored in the refrigerator or cellar. Very tasty, aromatic, dense and homogeneous inside with small seeds. Suitable for pickling and marinade.

Tamara Vladimirovna, Voronezh

I would like to talk about the advantages of the self-pollinating cucumber variety Connie F1. Showed excellent germination: almost all seeds sprouted. The plants grew strong and healthy. The harvest is decent. Easy to care for. However, no one canceled all the required procedures: watering, fertilizing. The fruits are externally beautiful, compact, no more than 9 cm in length. There is absolutely no bitterness. Good fresh and prepared. I recommend trying this variety!

• resistant to cladosporiosis, viral cucumber mosaic, powdery mildew;
• universal use.

In the leaf axil, mainly 4-5 ovaries are formed.

  Ant F1

V.S. Butor.

“When I was first advised to take Ant seeds, I considered it a waste of time.I don’t trust hybrids; I prefer my own, home-grown varieties. But having tried to plant “Ant”, I left the principle aside. In addition to the fact that this variety can be grown at any time of the year, the harvest is also rich. Self-pollination is especially pleasing, because there are fewer and fewer bees every year.”

 Features of growing parthenocarpic cucumbers

Since there are no barren flowers on parthenocarpics, and greens are formed only on the central stem, the plants are formed in a certain way.

• removal of flowers and ovaries in the axils of the first 5 leaves;
• up to 50 cm of the central stem, pinch shoots into 1 ovary and 2 leaves (length about 25 cm);
• from 50 cm to 1.5 m, leave 2 ovaries and 2-3 leaves (length 35-40 cm);
• above 1.5 m, leave 4 ovaries and 3-4 leaves (length 45-50 cm);
• The central shoot is pinched at the height of the trellis (length about 2 m).

If plants are not formed, then most of the nutrients are spent on the formation of new vines and ovaries, while the ripening of fruits slows down, and the quantity and quality of the harvest decreases.
Otherwise, caring for so-called “self-pollinating” cucumbers is no different from caring for ordinary cucumbers pollinated by insects.

 

 

Reviews from gardeners

Irina Kozlova

The beginning of April is the best time to plant greenhouse cucumbers in the country. Productivity depends on many things. Even on the age of the seeds. It's better if they are over 3 years old. Parthenocarpic varieties are generally a win-win. From my own experience, I will name those that did not let me down: “Green Stream”. Secures up to 30 cucumbers on a bush. “Crispy Cellar”, “Zyatek”, “Herman”. They are all early and can be planted at intervals to ensure a constant supply of cucumbers.

dart777

“Choose a variety based on where the cucumbers are needed. Some are for pickling or pickling, others are for salads, and there are also universal ones, which I personally prefer. I can’t name many varieties, I’ll just say that I liked 2 hybrid, early, non-bitter and very productive varieties: “Arbat” and “Levina”.

Victoria

I have empirically determined that it is better to plant self-pollinating varieties in a greenhouse. For several years in a row I have been growing hybrids “Herman F1”, “Zozulya F1”, “Dynamite F1”, “Zyatek F1”. The harvests are always excellent. Even the last cold and stormy summer did not affect the quantity and quality of cucumbers.

Parthenocarpic hybrids of cucumbers are now gaining their place in our greenhouses. Gardeners often choose these varieties and prefer them to those that require pollination. What are the advantages of parthenocarpic cucumbers? 1.They can be grown and continuously harvested in winter in special greenhouses or at home. 2. The quality of greens is high, there is no bitterness, and they are resistant to diseases and adverse weather conditions. 3. These hybrids are necessary because populations of pollinators such as bees and bumblebees have decreased in natural conditions.

Ekaterina, Vologda region

I gave up growing varietal cucumbers a long time ago. I prefer parthenocarpic hybrids, which are easy to care for. You have to buy seeds every year, but they are worth the expense. I always have cucumbers in my garden, even in a bad season. I grow Murashka, Zyatek, Mother-in-law, and try new hybrids every year. But it is necessary to form the bushes correctly, remove excess shoots and part of the ovaries from below. And buy only from trusted manufacturers, otherwise gardeners are often cheated on the market by selling low-quality seeds or fakes.
