The best varieties of cucumbers for the greenhouse for 2022: early, self-pollinating, productive, for Siberia, the Moscow region, the Urals, the middle zone, reviews

Cucumber has long been considered one of the most beloved and popular vegetable crops. Summer residents and gardeners grow it throughout all territories of our country. To get a good harvest, you need to study in advance all the advantages and disadvantages of varieties and choose the most suitable ones.

For a good harvest of cucumbers in the Moscow region in 2022, it is very important to choose the most productive varieties, giving preference to self-pollinating ones, because they do not need insects to form ovaries. Also, in the selection process, it is necessary to take into account the place where they will be planted: in a greenhouse or in open ground.

Features of cucumbers suitable for growing in greenhouse conditions

In protected ground, many varieties of cucumbers, suitable for growing both in open and indoor ground, often show higher yields. This is due to the fact that in greenhouses this delicate, heat-loving crop is protected from unfavorable weather conditions or temperature fluctuations, and from unexpected cold snaps.

Nowadays polycarbonate greenhouses are very popular - they are easy to install on the site and these structures are quite reliable. Growing cucumbers in a polycarbonate greenhouse will allow you to get a good harvest

with a relative minimum of labor costs for the manufacture of a glass greenhouse. From a financial point of view, this is also more profitable.

When choosing varieties and hydrides of seed material of this vegetable plant, you need to clearly know what requirements are imposed on plants:

the harvested crop will be used for conservation or food;
at what time of year will cucumbers be grown indoors;
size of ripe fruits.

You also need to pay attention to how specific varieties or hybrids are pollinated:

insects;
are self-pollinating;
parthenocarpic (not requiring pollination).

When growing varieties that required pollination by bees, it was necessary to attract these flying insects into greenhouses or place hives in them. Sometimes it is not possible to attract bees, in which case you have to pollinate the female flowers manually, but this procedure will have to be repeated regularly in order to get a good harvest as a result.

When growing self-pollinating and parthenocarpic cucumbers, summer residents do not have such problems. But these types of cucumbers are unlikely to be able to collect seed material for further planting, so seeds have to be purchased annually. But, as a rule, with the right choice of variety, the high yield of such hybrids always pays off with a large margin.

The main positive qualities of cucumbers grown in greenhouses should be:

self-pollinating;
high resistance to diseases;
shade tolerance.

Features of growing cucumbers in the Moscow region

Cucumbers are a crop that is quite sensitive to environmental conditions. To harvest a decent harvest of fruits, it is necessary to create for them an environment that is optimal for growth and development.

Factors to consider when growing cucumbers:

Temperature conditions. Seeds begin to germinate when the thermometer readings do not fall below +15 degrees. Plants grow and bear fruit actively at temperatures in the range of +22…+28 degrees.
Humidity. The crop needs to provide soil moisture in the range of 75...95% and relative air humidity: 70...80%.
Illumination. Lack of sunlight negatively affects the growing season of cucumbers. The daylight hours should be 10…12 hours.
The soil. The crop prefers light soil: sandy loam, light loam, black soil. Acidity should be in the range of 4.5...6.8 pH.
Nutrition. Fast-growing plants consume large amounts of nutrients. In order for them to develop and bear fruit correctly, it is important to add micro- and macroelements to the soil. The key components of fertilizing should be nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and calcium.

The duration of the active growing season of plants under natural conditions does not exceed 140 days. It is easier to provide the necessary conditions for cucumbers by planting them in a greenhouse.

Climate of the region

When choosing planting material, it is important to take into account the climatic conditions of a particular region. By planting cucumbers in protected soil, you can largely protect the plantings from the vagaries of the weather, but you still have to take some nuances into account. The Moscow region is located in the center of the European part of the Russian Federation and some climatic factors are important.

Weather features in the Moscow region:

The region's temperate continental climate is characterized by fairly warm summers and moderately cold winters. The seasons are distinct here. When growing cucumbers, you need to understand that even in closed ground, seedlings can only be planted in May. If you want to get the harvest early, you need to install a heating system in the greenhouses.
In spring and autumn in the region, the temperature at night and during the day differs significantly, which is poorly tolerated by cucumbers. Planting vegetables in protected soil allows you to reduce the influence of temperature factors on the vegetable.
In summer, the duration of daylight hours is 15...17 hours. This is enough for the growing season of cucumbers. If you want to grow crops in autumn and winter, you have to install artificial lighting.

In greenhouses and hotbeds, it is possible to grow vegetables throughout the year, minimizing dependence on temperature changes and other unfavorable factors, and increasing productivity by an average of 1.5...2 times. You just need to provide optimal conditions for the plants and proper care, including regular watering, fertilizing and bush formation.

Self-pollinating and parthenocarpic cucumbers for greenhouses - the best varieties

Self-pollinating are those varieties and hybrids of cucumbers in which each flower has both stamens and pistil.

Therefore, they pollinate on their own, without requiring pollination by flying insects. It is these cucumbers that are preferable to grow in greenhouses, where bees do not always fly to pollinate female flowers.

Parthenocarpic are those varieties of cucumbers on the vines of which only female flowers appear, and the ovaries are formed completely without pollination.

The best varieties of cucumbers for Siberia for growing in greenhouses

Siberia has a unique climate - the summer is too short, sometimes the temperature drops sharply, and sunny weather is abruptly replaced by a long rainy period. In such conditions, it is recommended to grow heat-loving vegetable crops only indoors in order to get a good harvest.

Therefore, in recent decades, breeders have begun to breed various vegetable crops, including cucumbers, which grow and bear fruit well in this region. The best cucumber varieties for growing in greenhouses in Siberia are presented below.

Cucumber “Break f1”

This hybrid reaches a height of 1.6-1.8 m, the formation of lateral stems is average. The Break f1 hybrid is highly resistant to powdery mildew and various types of rot. The Break cucumber does not require special care; the hybrid bushes do not need to be formed.

Such cucumbers are called “crocodiles” - they are long and with thorns. A very productive variety. More detailed information about the Emerald Stream variety is available on the website.

the hit of the season

High-yielding hybrid variety of parthenocarpic type.

From the moment the first sprouts appear until the first fruits are harvested, up to 1.5 months pass. But ovaries can form on the vines before the first frost. fruit size is 11-12 cm.

Criterias of choice

For greenhouses, cucumber varieties are divided into 3 groups according to fruiting period:

Winter-spring.
Spring-summer.
Summer-autumn.

Therefore, first you need to decide whether you want cucumbers to grow in the greenhouse all year round or at a certain time.

Next, you need to choose the early maturity of the cucumbers. According to this criterion, all varieties are divided into 3 groups:

early: fruits will ripen 37-42 days after emergence;
average: 40-50 days;
late: 50 days or more.

Important! If there is enough space in the greenhouse, you need to sow varieties with different ripening periods, then you can enjoy fresh cucumbers for a long time.

It is also worth deciding how you will use cucumbers and for what purpose they are needed. Here the varieties are also divided into 3 groups:

For salads.
For marinades and salting.
Universal.

Salad cucumbers have thick skins and are therefore not suitable for winter preservation. They will not be able to salt properly as the brine will not be able to penetrate through the thick skin.

Important! When growing a small number of bushes, it is better to give preference to universal varieties.

They give a good harvest and are unpretentious to lighting.

Important! In order not to form a stem, it is better to choose varieties with limited development of lateral shoots.

Varieties of cucumbers for the Urals for greenhouses

In the difficult climatic conditions of the Urals, it is better to grow heat-loving, rather capricious cucumbers in greenhouses and film greenhouses. Below we will describe the best varieties of cucumbers for greenhouses in the Urals.

Cupid f1

One of the best early ripening hybrids for growing in greenhouse conditions in the Urals. It grows and bears fruit even with sudden changes in air temperature. The harvest ripens approximately 1.5 months after sowing the seed. Harvested greens are versatile.

Cucumber "Arina f1"

Arina is one of the highest-yielding mid-early hybrids intended for cultivation in greenhouses in the Urals.

The Arina cucumber is highly resistant to diseases that affect other varieties of cucumbers. Ripe greens are used only fresh.

Cucumber “Fabulous Five f1”

This hybrid is early ripening - from the moment the first shoots appear until the harvest ripens, 39-42 days pass. Ripe greens are small in size, with a delicate crispy skin covered with small tubercles and thin whitish spines. The yield of the Magnificent Five f1 variety is high.

Cucumber “Voyage f1”

An early-ripening, fairly productive hybrid variety - about 1.5 months pass from the moment the seed is sown until the fruit ripens.

Voyage cucumber does not require pollination and is recommended for growing not only in greenhouses, but also in open ground. The harvested crop is used for fresh consumption only.

Cucumber “Moscow Evenings f1”

The hybrid "Moscow Evenings f1" can grow even in the shade, so it is ideal for growing in greenhouses. The variety is distinguished by early fruit ripening, as well as high resistance to diseases characteristic of this vegetable crop.

Growing seedlings

To sow seeds for seedlings, mix humus, peat, turf soil and river sand in equal proportions. For each bucket of prepared soil, add 500 grams of wood ash and 50 grams of superphosphate. You can also purchase ready-made soil at a specialized store.

It should be taken into account that cucumbers are very difficult to tolerate picking and transplanting. Therefore, it is better to sow seeds in peat pots or tablets. If seedlings are grown in plastic cups, then they are transplanted using the transshipment method.

The optimal volume of cups for seedlings is 200-250 milliliters. Small holes are made in their bottom for drainage. Sow 2-3 seeds in one cup, deepening them by 1-2 centimeters. The containers are covered with film until germination.

Seedlings must be provided with lighting for 12-14 hours daily. If there is insufficient lighting, the seedlings will stretch out and die. It is best to purchase phytolamps that emit light waves in the spectrum required by plants. But in their absence, you can use fluorescent lamps or “housekeepers”.

For irrigation, use settled water at room temperature, preferably rain or melt water. You can’t water the soil too much, but you shouldn’t let it dry out either. Typically, seedlings are watered 2 times a week. The soil is loosened periodically.

If seedlings are planted in properly prepared soil, then they do not need fertilizing.

A few days before planting in open ground, plants need to be hardened off. To do this, they are taken outside.

Gherkin cucumbers for greenhouses

In recent decades, summer residents have become increasingly interested in growing gherkin varieties and hybrids of cucumbers. Gherkins are small-sized greens, crispy and very tasty. They are well suited for pickling and salting without losing their taste, and are also very tasty when eaten fresh.

Consider the main features when choosing

Before purchasing seeds, you need to understand several important nuances. Then you can quickly decide which variety is best to plant. After this, you can select a specific variety according to your requirements. Consider the following criteria:

Maturing period. Cucumbers are early, mid-season and late. It is best to choose options with different ripening periods so that you can collect cucumbers for several months. Study the information on the packaging to determine when the variety bears fruit.
Purpose of use. For fresh consumption, it is better to plant salad varieties; they are larger and have almost no thorns on the surface. Pickling varieties are easy to prepare; they are much smaller and covered with a large number of thorns. There are universal options, they can be used fresh and for preparations, so many choose the latter type.
Type of pollination. There are common varieties that are pollinated by bees and other insects. And there are parthenocarpic options, these are self-pollinating hybrids. They do not need pollination, so the harvest in the Moscow region is greater, since there are often rainy, cloudy days when insects do not fly.
Resistance to bitterness. To avoid picking bitter cucumbers, you need to buy varieties that are resistant to this problem at the genetic level. This is always indicated on the pack; you must remember to clarify this point.
Disease resistance and plant characteristics. Different varieties resist diseases and pests differently. It is worth choosing ones that are resistant to common problems. Take into account the structure of the vines; it is better if the growth of lateral shoots in them is genetically limited, then you will not have to shape or pinch them.
Choose only zoned varieties. There is no need to purchase options in the Moscow region that are intended for the southern regions, they will grow poorly. It is better to use something that has been tested by breeders and approved for use in the region.
Buy processed seeds. In order not to be disinfected in potassium permanganate and not soaked in a growth stimulator, it is easier to find ready-made options that can be planted immediately. Coated seeds are even better; in them, the seed is in a nutritious shell, so it sprouts quickly and at an early age.

Important!
Hybrids tolerate temperature changes and lack of moisture better. Therefore, they grow better outside the most favorable conditions. To choose the most productive varieties for the Moscow region in 2022, you need to decide how they will be grown. Based on this, choosing an option for open ground or for greenhouses - from polycarbonate or film, it does not matter, the main thing is that the plants are intended for closed ground.

They lack green pigment, which causes such a negative reaction from the body.

Variety selection

Cucumbers require average light, humidity, and no sudden temperature changes. The moderate continental summer of the Moscow region meets these criteria.
