Another huge advantage of parthenocarpic varieties is that they show stable yields regardless of pollinating and weather conditions. Any varieties in this section are recommended for growing in a film greenhouse, and some also in a glass greenhouse (indicated by one asterisk next to the name of the variety). The yields are indicated for the actual marketable yields achieved in greenhouses of this type.
Amateur gardeners have already tried some of the best varieties of cucumber seeds for greenhouses; reviews of Crispy Slice F1 and Gourmand F1 are very favorable.

Single-stem hybrids are good because they require almost no shaping and make caring for cucumbers easier. They are called “weekend” hybrids: the plants do not overgrow during the working week. Convenient for those who come to the dacha only on weekends.
F1 Artel
Single-stem parthenocarpic cucumber with limited growth of the main stem, included in the State Register in 2015.
Ripening period | An early ripening sprinter hybrid, produces a large harvest in the first month of fruiting. |
Growing conditions | For spring greenhouses, tunnels, open ground. |
Branching | There are practically no side shoots. |
The power of growth | With a heavy load of greens in the lower tier, the height of the main stem may not exceed 80–100 cm. |
Under conditions of strongly pronounced vegetative growth, the height of the vine in a greenhouse can reach 170–200 cm; Several small side shoots may appear. In open ground, the height of the main stem is even lower. ______________________________________________________________________________

Features of cultivation
Cucumbers are rarely grown in seedlings. Fragile plants are easy to damage when transplanting. In addition, the seedlings are sick for a long time after this and do not take root well. It is easier to sow the seeds immediately in a permanent place.
Cucumbers do not like open sunlight; most varieties tolerate shading well. However, lack of light leads to changes in the color of the fruit. It is better to choose beds located in partial shade with light and fertile soil for planting plants. Cucumbers require regular watering as the top layer of soil dries and periodic removal of weeds. At the same time, try not to damage the fragile tops and leaves.
For ease of care and harvesting, trellises are placed on the cucumber beds. Plants weave along them, leaving row spacing free.
By 2022, breeders have presented the best varieties of cucumbers described in this article. Experienced gardeners choose several species with different ripening periods and characteristics. This allows you to harvest from early summer until autumn. It is impossible to say unequivocally which of the varieties we have described is better. Everyone has their own needs and requests, based on which they need to make a choice. After carefully studying the descriptions presented above, you can choose something for yourself.
