What are they?
The pelleted seed variety is a hybrid cucumber that undergoes additional processing. As a result, they acquire features with the help of which the culture adapts to unsuitable climatic conditions. The plant also easily finds nutrients, regardless of the depleted soil composition. Cucumbers fight against insect attacks and diseases.
For the procedure, small-sized seeds are selected, since after panning they become large. The large seeds themselves are selected. The pelleting procedure makes it easier to work with planting material. During planting, it is clearly visible in the garden bed. The bright color helps a person navigate and remember to sprinkle the seeds with soil.
Cucumbers that have undergone pelleting in Poland do not require thinning after seedlings emerge.
Why do hybrid varieties have F1 in their name?
Anyone who has bought hybrid varieties of cucumbers for cultivation probably knows that the label F1 is present on the packaging next to the name. This indicates that the seeds that were taken for crossing belong to the first generation. It is necessary to remember that you cannot independently prepare seeds of hybrid cucumbers for planting. They will not have the properties that their predecessors had. Most often, such seeds do not bear fruit at all.
How to choose good hybrid seeds?
Now there are a large number of hybrids that differ in taste, color, shape and other characteristics. To purchase the best hybrid varieties of cucumbers, when purchasing, you need to pay attention to whether this variety has passed the appropriate tests and is included in the state register. At the same time, the packaging should contain recommendations for growing the plant in a particular region.
You can achieve the desired results when growing hybrid cucumbers only if you purchase high-quality seeds.
Types of hybrid cucumbers
According to the method of pollination, hybrids are divided into 3 groups:
- Self-pollinating.
- Parthenocarpic varieties of cucumbers.
- Insect-pollinated.
For good fruiting, insect-pollinated cucumbers need bees or other insects. They take a direct part in the pollination process. These varieties are well suited for open garden beds.
Self-pollinating and parthenocarpic varieties of cucumbers can be grown both in a greenhouse and in open soil. In hybrid self-pollinating cucumbers, the female and male flowers are combined into a single flower (there is both a pistil and a stamen), so they can successfully self-pollinate.
What does a parthenocarpic cucumber hybrid mean? Such a plant has only female flowers, which do not require pollination at all. They bear fruit successfully and, accordingly, do not have seeds inside.
When purchasing hybrid seeds, you should consider where they will be grown. There are hybrid varieties of cucumbers for open ground, for greenhouses, and also universal ones. They are divided into several types:
- Winter . Such hybrids are grown year-round in heated greenhouses. They are characterized by large leaves and fruits (up to 35 cm), have a green tint and large tubercles. Used to prepare fresh salads. The best hybrid varieties of cucumbers that are grown in winter: “F1 Courage”, “F1 Relay”. F1 Ladoga cucumbers are especially popular.
- Cold-resistant . Suitable for open ground, they are collected from mid-summer to autumn. In first place, according to reviews from summer residents, is the “F1 Masha” variety. Also popular are “F1 Prestige” and “F1 Farmer”.
- Photophilous . Their ovaries are formed in peculiar bunches. These include: “F1 Arina”, “F1 Hit of the Season”.
- Early ripening . Such varieties give an excellent harvest within a month after germination. Common rooted varieties include “F1 German”. “F1 Alphabet” is also particularly popular.
- For canning and pickling . The fruits have a sweetish taste and hard skin. This group is represented by the widest range of varieties. Housewives, F1 Acorn also receives positive reviews.
Thanks to the hard work of breeders, new hybrid varieties of cucumbers appear on the market every year, which allows you to choose the ideal option for yourself and get a good harvest.
Polish cucumbers Andrus
Andrus f1 is a high-yielding variety with a female flowering type. The mid-early crop is intended for growing in open soil. The ripe fruit is a cylindrical gherkin. The whole body is covered with tubercles. The cucumber has a light green color with expressive light stripes.
The long, regular shape provides an attractive presentation. The characteristic cucumber taste of Zelentsy is not bitter. Fruiting continues until the end of the first autumn month, and the cucumbers ripen evenly. Suitable for canning assorted vegetables and pickles. Fresh dishes are prepared from it.
Anulka F1
If you are looking for the best varieties of cucumbers from Poland, then pay attention to this hybrid. Its main feature is a high degree of resistance to temperature changes (including sudden and so frequent night frosts).
Anulka is a bee-pollinated hybrid with a medium-early ripening period. This variety is best suited for canning and pickling. However, greens are also perfect for fresh consumption.
This type of cucumber is perfect for growing in central Russia and Ukraine. Cucumbers taste pleasant, crispy, and have no bitterness. The appearance meets all regulatory requirements, so Anulka can be safely grown for sale. The length of the fruit does not exceed 10 cm. Gherkins, as a rule, have a surface with moderate tuberculation and a rich green color. The average fruit weight is about 70-120 grams.
Anulka is used for planting both in open ground and in greenhouses. Sowing is carried out in March and April (or in July, with an eye to a late harvest). Harvest begins in May (early) and ends in October (late). The bush has a bright green color and is not very tall. Side shoots are formed very intensively. This variety of Polish cucumbers cannot boast of record yields. But even the stated 4 kg per 1 sq/m is a very good indicator, given the unpretentiousness of the hybrid and its excellent resistance to weather conditions.
Anulka F1 seeds are more expensive than their classic, non-hybridized “predecessors”, but if you take into account all the advantages of this cucumber variety, you end up with a good saving.
Feature: this variety has a tendency to grow thick, so harvesting must be done when the greens reach 6-9 cm in length.
Mid-early hybrid Titus
As a result of Polish selection, another species was bred - cucumber Titus f1. Designed for planting in open ground. Fruiting occurs 1.5 months after planting the seeds. The female type of flowering of the hybrid is cut down by bees.
For normal growth and development, the crop needs constant watering and warmth. The yield at the end of the season depends on the fertility of the soil. The crop does not need mineral and organic fertilizers, but responds well to them. Sown in the ground after the threat of late frosts has passed. Before this, the soil warms up to 12 °C.
The bush is characterized by rapid growth and has the ability to regenerate fruits. This makes it possible to extend the harvest until late autumn. The tuberosity of the fruit is average. Short greens begin to form from the beginning of crop growth. The plant is resistant to many cucumber diseases.

Features of cultivation
Plants require careful care during the first time after the entrances appear. To get a good harvest, you need to provide the plants with everything they need for growth and development. First of all, choose a well-lit place, since cucumbers grow poorly in the shade and the yield is several times lower.
Preparing seedlings
It is worth using this option if you need to get the harvest early. By planting plants in the ground rather than seeds, they develop faster and begin to bear fruit 2-3 weeks earlier. Plants can only be planted in soil heated to 17 degrees and above; this is the only way they will develop normally and quickly adapt to new conditions. Grow seedlings like this:
- Prepare a nutrient mixture. Mix 2 parts rotted compost, 2 parts black soil and 1 part sand. You can add a little wood ash to add minerals. Mix the ingredients well.
- Fill the seedling containers with soil. It is better to immediately plant the plants in separate cups, as they do not tolerate picking well. Do not add 3-4 cm to the top, water the surface so that it is moist, but not wet.
- Plant the seeds. Since they are panned, there is no need to cook them. Place 1 granule in each glass. Cover with a layer of soil up to one and a half centimeters thick. Cover the containers with plastic wrap to retain moisture and place in a dark place with a temperature of about 25 degrees. Keep there until sprouts appear.
- Place it on the windowsill. Place the cups with seedlings in a bright place with a temperature of about 20 degrees, remove the plastic. Provide lighting for at least 10 hours a day; if there is not enough natural light, supplement it with special phytolamps.
- Water 1-2 times a week depending on how dry the soil is. Spray the leaves with warm water daily to prevent them from drying out due to low indoor humidity. Feed after 2 weeks with complex fertilizer for seedlings.
- Plant when the plant has 2-3 true leaves. Do not keep plants indoors. It is best to sow seeds 30-35 days before the approximate planting in the ground. Pre-prepare the soil as described in the next section.
Important!
If young seedlings begin to stretch upward strongly, you need to reduce the temperature to 15 degrees and maintain until the growth of the stems returns to normal.
It is best to plant seedlings in open ground at the end of May, and under film covers they can be planted 2 weeks earlier. Therefore, seeds should be sown either in the middle or at the end of April. If it is cool outside and you need to wait before planting, it is better to move the seedlings to a cooler place to slow down growth.
Sowing seeds in the ground
Polish varieties are very well suited for this planting option, as they are covered with a nutrient mixture and germinate very well. The main thing is to properly prepare the soil and protect the sprouts from the cold at first. Carry out work when the soil temperature at a depth of 5 cm is 15 degrees or higher. Process description:
- Add fertilizer to the soil. It is best to use rotted manure or compost, the norm is about a bucket per square meter. Distribute evenly, then dig to the depth of a spade bayonet. You can add a ready-made mineral complex for cucumbers, following the consumption rates indicated on the package. Spread the granules evenly over the area before digging.
- Prepare the bed. First of all, break up all the large clods of earth and level the surface; it is most convenient to do this with a metal rake. Make holes or furrows approximately 15 cm deep. The planting scheme depends on the variety; most often, a gap of 80-100 cm is left, and a distance of 20-30 cm is made between plants.
- Plant the seeds. Water the planting areas generously and wait until the moisture is absorbed into the soil. Spread the dragees every 20-30 cm and cover with a layer of loose soil no more than 2 cm. Cover with film or place cut bottles. Do not remove until sprouts appear on the surface. After germination, remove the cover for a day and put it back at night.
- Monitor soil moisture and water as needed. Loosen the surface after each watering to reduce moisture evaporation. Remove shelters when persistent warm weather sets in.
To better heat the soil, it can be covered with dark agrotextiles 7-10 days before planting. Then the seeds will sprout faster and develop better, since cucumbers love warm soil. This technique can be used both under film covers and in beds.
Popular Polish variety Soplika
Soplika or Soplitsa is a hybrid that has one important feature. Thanks to the careful work of agronomists, the crop gained the ability to bear fruit for a long period. Summer residents who have many years of experience in growing vegetables claim that the right approach allows you to have fresh cucumbers before the first frost. The vegetable is resistant to temperature changes, especially at night.
One cucumber can reach 12 cm in length. More often there are specimens whose length does not exceed 7 cm. A slight change in size does not affect the presentation. A larger shift is a plus for the vegetable and the person who grows it.
Zelentsy is used for pickling, canned whole or chopped by adding other vegetables. The fruiting period of the crop begins in mid-July. The plant produces its last vegetables at the end of September. The green fruit of European origin is not susceptible to a large number of diseases that affect classic cucumber and pumpkin seeds.
Even after one growing season, the hybrid received positive reviews both in our country and at home. The cost differs from other varieties, it is slightly higher. But this is not a reason to be upset. The price is fully compensated by the high yield and many other advantages. Buying one package and planting it will take a person less time than caring for classic seeds.
Plant care
If you do not take care of Polish hybrids, they will not produce a good harvest. The work does not take much time, the main thing is to carry it out constantly so that the plants are provided with everything they need. You should start after germination so that the plants grow quickly. Process Recommendations:
- Water constantly. Until the ovaries form, work twice a week, when the greens begin to grow, water every other day or daily if the weather is dry, hot. Use only heated, settled water. The best time is in the evening after sunset, when moisture evaporates more slowly and the roots absorb it better.
- Feed every 3 weeks. Before flowering, apply compounds containing nitrogen; after the formation of ovaries, use phosphorus-potassium fertilizers. It is best to alternate organic and mineral compositions. Among organic fertilizers, a solution of mullein and droppings, herbal infusion and wood ash are suitable. Of the mineral ones, it is most convenient to use ready-made complexes.
- Tie to trellises. On the ground, plants are more often infected with diseases, it is better to raise them, this will increase the yield, since bees pollinate flowers better, the stems are blown by the wind and moisture does not accumulate on them. Start work from the stage of 4-5 sheets; if you miss the moment, the overgrown lashes will be much more difficult to tie up so as not to damage.
- Form plants. Remove all ovaries and shoots in the 4 lower axils so that the stem grows more intensively. Next, remove only the stepsons, leaving the ovaries. Lead the top to the top of the trellis, then you can run it horizontally, or you can pinch it. Leave 3-4 side shoots on top, move them horizontally, pinch them after the second or third leaf.
- Collect greens as often as possible. Ideally, carry out the work daily, then the plant will spend resources on new ovaries and the growth of young cucumbers, and not on already formed fruits. Due to this, you can increase the harvested harvest by about a third. You can also remove gherkins without waiting for technical ripeness.
Important!
To prevent diseases, treat the plants and the soil underneath with a solution of Bordeaux mixture 2-3 weeks before flowering. This will kill any pathogenic bacteria if present.
If plants lack microelements and the leaves begin to turn yellow or wither, an urgent need for foliar feeding. Purchase a water-soluble complex, prepare it according to the instructions and apply it from a spray bottle to the leaves, trying to treat their lower part as well. Work only in the evening.
Large harvest of Krak cucumbers
To create hybrids that will have decent characteristics, several types of cucumbers are crossed under special conditions. As a result, the new crop is able to resist many diseases and produce a large harvest of high quality. Krak f1 is a cucumber variety that was also bred by Polish breeders. Over the course of its existence, it has received many awards for participation in international exhibitions.
The greens that appear on the bush from flowers are cut down by bees. To plant seeds, use the same method as when sowing traditional varieties - in open soil. The only condition is that the temperature of the ground and air must warm up to 15 °C. Sow cucumbers to a depth of no more than 3 cm. To retain moisture, you can use film.
The further stage of cultivation includes:
- Weeding the beds. Weeds are removed as they grow so that they do not interfere with the normal development of cucumber bushes.
- Loosening the soil. Provides the crop with useful substances.
- Watering with heated water. It is carried out in the evening after sunset.
Ripe Krak fruits are covered with a dark green skin. It has no bitterness. The weight of one fruit can reach 115 g. On average, 3.5–5 kg of vegetables are harvested from one square meter. The immune system of the variety helps cope with diseases such as downy mildew and cucumber mosaic.

General Features
Several varieties under consideration have a number of common features, by which many distinguish Polish seeds. They are widespread in our country, as they are well adapted to the climatic conditions of mid-latitudes and have almost perfect germination due to preparation. The main features are:
- All options are bee-pollinated hybrids. When growing, it is necessary to provide access to insects, so greenhouses must be open. Without bees, plants don't set fruit. If the number of bushes is small, you can pollinate them yourself, but with large areas of plantings, carrying out such work is problematic.
- The yield is over 10 kg per square meter when grown on trellises. This is true for all options. If the lashes lie on the ground, then the indicators are reduced by about half. At the same time, plants require compliance with the regime of watering, fertilizing and proper formation. Without this, the indicators are reduced by at least half.
- The main purpose is growing in open ground. Hybrids adapt well to unfavorable conditions and tolerate temperature changes and lack of humidity much better than conventional varieties. They also grow well under film covers. Recommended for use on personal plots and small farms.
- Plants produce predominantly female flowers. The presence of a pollinator variety nearby is not necessary, although experienced gardeners recommend planting 2-3 varieties nearby. You can simply plant different variants of the Polish selection; they are ideal for each other.
- All varieties are mid-early. On average, from the moment of emergence of seedlings to the removal of the first green shoots, it takes from 45 to 55 days. Fruiting lasts a long time, at least until September, but most often the ovaries cease to form with the onset of cold weather. In favorable years, cucumbers can be harvested almost until frost.
- Resistance to cucumber mosaic virus is genetically determined. The plants are also immune to powdery mildew and penosporosis. Another feature is that the fruits never become bitter; this is also due to genetic characteristics, so even if there is a lack of moisture, the greens will not have the characteristic bitterness.
- Gherkin type fruits. They rarely grow more than 10-12 cm, have a small diameter and do not outgrow. Even when picked later than expected, cucumbers are not prone to barreling and yellowing.
- The shelf life is also approximately the same for all options. In the refrigerator, the fruits remain fresh and elastic for a week. They tolerate transportation well.
- Available in pelleted or inlaid form. This greatly simplifies sowing: there is no need to prepare planting material and germination is almost one hundred percent. The shell provides good nutrition upon emergence and protection from pests and diseases. The seeds are sold in sealed packaging, so the shelf life is long, usually 50 pieces in one bag.
Important!
Polish varieties are convenient to collect, since their thorns are not sharp and do not prick your fingers. It is very important to purchase quality seeds. There are many low-quality fakes on sale, so it is better to choose products from well-known companies with a good reputation. And it’s even better to buy bags made in Poland, this is the highest quality planting material.
Dried greens from Sremsky
Polish breeders advise trying another variety of vegetables - Sremsky cucumber f1. Like other types of vegetables, it went through the process of panning. One package contains 50 seeds, which allows you to grow a large harvest. Gardeners who did not use up the material in one season can safely plant it the next year.
It takes 5-6 weeks for greens to ripen. In the southern regions of the country, the harvest is enjoyed much earlier, as climatic conditions allow it. The female hybrid is characterized by a developed stem with sufficient width. The base is powerful and strong. The first cucumbers have a smooth cylindrical shape with a rich, bright green hue.
The Sremski cucumber does not require pre-treatment, like other Polish representatives.
Harvesting begins after the fruits are 9–11 cm in length. The appearance of smaller greens is possible. This cucumber variety bears fruit without problems. On average, the weight of vegetables can reach 125 g.
The cultivation of the Srem variety is due to its high taste qualities. Even true gourmets will appreciate its aroma and delicate taste. They are consumed with great pleasure fresh, canned and pickled. Cucumbers form the basis of most appetizers, served separately or together with other vegetables. Greens have a neutral taste, so they do not overwhelm other flavors.
