The best hybrids (varieties) of self-pollinated (parthenocarpic) cucumbers for growing in a greenhouse and open field

There are more and more varieties, and especially hybrids of cucumbers, every year. At the same time, exclusive attention and preference is given to the most early ripening, productive, long-bearing and resistant to various diseases.

Of course, self-pollinating cucumbers are now the most popular, or rather parthenocarpic hybrids, which are usually grown in greenhouses.

Next, let's talk in more detail about what self-pollinated cucumbers are, or rather parthenocarpic hybrids, what are their advantages and nuances of growing. In addition, your attention will be provided with a list of the most popular and best self-pollinated cucumber varieties that are intended for growing in a greenhouse (primarily) and open field.

What are self-pollinated cucumbers, what are their advantages and features of cultivation

By the way! It is not entirely correct (more precisely, in principle, incorrect) to call parthenocarpic cucumbers self-pollinated. Indeed, in order to be self-pollinated, flowers must have both a pistil and stamens (for example, like peppers or tomatoes). The cucumber does not have bisexual flowers: they are all either female or male (barren flowers)... In other words, in the literal sense, self-pollinated cucumbers do not exist.

It is more correct to call them "Not requiring pollination".

But you say what is written in this way on the packaging itself. Indeed, they write this way for amateurs, trying to convey information to the consumer as easily as possible.

Parthenocarpic cucumbers have only female flowers and are able to develop into fruits without any insect pollination, while growing without seeds inside the greenery.

Benefits growing parthenocarpic cucumbers:

Note! Most parthenocarpic varieties are also suitable for outdoor cultivation.

  • As a rule, they have fruits of the same size and color, genetically without bitterness, and they also do not turn yellow (since the seeds do not ripen in them).

However, these are rather the benefits of hybrid cucumber.

Features: growing parthenocarpic cucumber hybrids:

  • Since parthenocarpic hybrids only female flowers, which means that there is a very high load on the bush, then such plantsshaping required - rationing of the number of fruits, blinding of the lower nodes, etc.

By the way! More details about shaping (pinching, pinching) cucumbers read in this article.

  • Shake female flowersso that they "self-pollinate", useless and pointless.

Interesting! The meaning of self-pollination is that pollen from its own flower spills out onto its own pistil and germinates, forming an ovary with seeds.

  • Parthenocarpic and bee-pollinated cucumbers cannot be grown in the same greenhouse (garden)otherwise, with such a joint planting, the greens will turn out to be crooked, ugly and, as a rule, pear-shaped (bottle-shaped). The thing is that pollinating insects (bees, bumblebees) will also pollinate the flowers of parthenocarpic cucumbers, which do not need it and will only harm them.

Alternative opinion: “The neighborhood of bee-pollinated cucumbers will not harm, but, on the contrary, will help the setting of parthenocarpic varieties.

Their female flowers can tie greens even without pollination, but absolutely normal fruits grow from the pollinated ones.

And when the parthenocarpic ones "are capricious", shedding ovaries, pollination definitely helps. "

Self-pollinated cucumbers for greenhouses and open ground: the best hybrids (varieties)

A review list of the best self-pollinated (parthenocarpic) cucumbers was prepared based on the degree of popularity of the names of hybrids, on the reviews of experienced gardeners, as well as the personal opinion of the author.

The most popular and best self-pollinated cucumber hybrids (varieties) (alphabetically):

Note! Naturally self-pollinated (parthenocarpic) cucumbers are primarily intended for cultivation in a greenhouse (indoor). However, this is by no means does not mean that they cannot be grown in the open field (all the more so at first under temporary shelters). Sure you may. One has only to take into account that the yield will not be so high (as a rule, the yield when grown in greenhouses is indicated in the characteristics of the variety).

Important! The descriptions give recommendations on the place (method) of growing a particular hybrid (variety).

By the way! There are no parthenocarpic varieties, only hybrids.

So, all you have to do now is choose the parthenocarpic hybrid that suits you best. Indeed, now the market presents a great variety of the most diverse varieties, which means that some (or even several) will definitely be able to satisfy your taste and quantitative desires. Experiment, plant, try and find your personal best parthenocarpic (self-pollinated) hybrid (or several).

Important! It is not enough just to choose a good variety, you must follow the cultivation technique. Namely correctly shape (pinch), tie upto water and feed cucumbers.

    The neighborhood of bee-pollinated cucumbers WILL NOT HARM, but, on the contrary, will help the setting of patrenocarpic varieties.
    Izh female flowers can tie zeoens without pollination, but POLLINATED are absolutely normal fruits.
    And when the parthenocarpic is capricious, shedding the ovaries, pollination UNWAYS HELPS !!!
