A small cheat sheet about why cucumbers are bitter

Cucumber plants that are stressed during the growing season may produce bitter-tasting fruit. Usually due to lack of water or temperatures that are too cold or too hot, cucumbers taste bitter.

But some varieties and hybrids may have a bitter aftertaste no matter how they are cared for. Cucumbers contain organic compounds called cucurbitacins, which can cause a bitter taste. If you are a beginner, try to avoid varieties and hybrids that are too demanding in terms of growing conditions and plan your seed purchases more carefully.

Provide even watering for cucumbers

Debunking myths about sweetness and bitterness in cucumbers

Sometimes the bitterness in cucumbers is explained by a variety of reasons, and this myth-making stubbornly settles in the minds of beginners.

Lyubov Chistyakova, a cucumber breeder at Poisk Agroholding, helped us understand the issues of cucumber sweetness.

If we compare it with other representatives of the pumpkin family, such as melon and watermelon, then the cucumber is definitely inferior to them in taste; compared to them, it is tasteless and, of course, unsweetened. But upon tasting, having tried more than a dozen cucumber fruits, you can understand that this or that variety or hybrid has sweeter and tastier fruits. The organoleptic method of assessing the taste of fruits is the most realistic compared to the biochemical one.
The direction of breeding work is dictated by the market (demand), but of course, there are areas that the breeder likes to work with more. In cucumber breeding, the most important areas (without which the hybrid should not be released) are not only plant resistance to diseases and pests, but also abiotic factors; high precocity and early ripening of plants, plant productivity, taste, questions about the use of fruits (salting or pickling, or better yet, both), the direction of salad cucumbers, transportability and much more, usually the buyer does not know what a hybrid is, until he grows it, at least for 3 years.
Bitterness is inherited genetically! And it is very stupid to say that if a hybrid with a genetic lack of bitterness falls into unfavorable conditions, then the fruits will become bitter. The absence of bitterness is inherited by a recessive gene, and in order for the hybrid not to accumulate bitterness, both parents must be free of bitterness. In this regard, the surface, color and size of the greens, the color of the thorns, and especially the plants growing in the neighborhood, do not in any way affect the presence of bitterness.
The fact that there is bitterness in black-thorn varieties is explained by the fact that previously breeders did not select for the absence of bitterness and most old varieties have bitterness. And yes, in old varieties, weather conditions, lack of watering, overwatering, and excess nitrogen affect whether we feel bitterness or not.
Bee-pollinated and parthenocarpic cucumbers grown under the same conditions do not differ in taste! Fruits from open and protected ground differ in taste. When opened, they have a richer taste and aroma.

Choose cucumber hybrids that are genetically free of bitterness

Care

In order for the plants of the variety to grow well, and the fruits to differ in taste and appearance, the beds need regular care. Despite the fact that cucumbers are not picky about agricultural technology, they need basic procedures:

Watering process. It is recommended to water the beds with the Alizar f1 hybrid every 2-3 days (taking into account the characteristics of the region and weather conditions). Water the plants strictly at the roots and only with warm water.
Formation. It is necessary to form cucumber bushes into the main stem to a height of up to 1 meter. It is also recommended to leave 2 stepsons and remove the rest.
It is advisable to fertilize the soil with cucumbers every 20 days. Complex fertilizers, as well as minerals and organic matter, are added to the soil. It is necessary to feed the soil at the root so as not to damage the tops of the variety.

Ant F1

Very early (from 37 days) parthenocarpic for greenhouses and open ground. The lateral branches are short, ending in a bunch of ovaries. On the main stem, from two to seven fruits grow in the axils - their number directly depends on the lighting: there are fewer in the shade. It requires only an abundance of light, but is hardy to any weather. Not susceptible to peronosporosis. Ignores mosaic virus, downy mildew, avoids cladosporiosis (olive spot). The fruits of the plant are large-tubercular, white-thorned, slightly ribbed, with small white stripes, up to 11 cm and 110 grams in size. On the register since 2003.

Funny gnomes F1

New (2013) early ripening hybrid (38 days). Disease resistance is average. The main lash is long, the branching is weak. Hobbyists may prefer a greenhouse, or plant it in open ground with a trellis. There are 3-4 Zelentsovs in the axils, they are dark green, juicy in color, small - 8 cm, 80 grams. Small tubercles are located very densely. Cucumbers are good for preservation. Presentation and excellent yield are guaranteed.

Berendey F1

The main feature is the ability of vegetables to bear fruit in the shade, which, combined with parthenocarpy and resistance to root rot, makes it possible to harvest even in an apartment. In greenhouses, cucumbers also perform well, producing buckets of fruit from the bush. As a rule, 3-4 ovaries are tied in knots. The size of the greens is 14 cm, 135 grams. They are white-haired, with beautiful tubercles. The purpose is primarily salad, although the hybrid is also suitable for pickling. In terms of timing, medium early (44-50 days). Registered in the register in 2007.

Garland F1

A newer version (2010) of a shade-tolerant self-pollinating hybrid with the highest resistance to all cucumber diseases. Cultivated indoors, greenhouses; It can also be done outdoors. The main lash is long, the branching is very weak. Bouquet ovary - 4-5 pieces. The greens are dark, tuberculate, with light pubescence, dense, fragrant. Grows up to 13 cm, 125 grams. The purpose is universal.

Zyatek F1

The most popular parthenocarpic for collecting pickles, gherkins, traditional greens (11 cm, 95 grams). The taste is excellent. The cucumber tubercles are quite dense, beautiful, and white-pubescent. Each node grows from 2 to 8 greens. Vegetable productivity is high. Fruits from 45 (plus or minus 3) days from the appearance of sprouts and for a long time. Does not suffer from powdery mildew (both downy and real), root rot. My recommendations for growing it both in a greenhouse and in open ground. On the register since 2007.

Break F1

This self-pollinating cucumber hybrid has been on the register since 2002. It is recommended for greenhouse crops, but also gave excellent results in open ground. Medium-sized, medium-branched. On the main stem it forms two or three ovaries in the axil of each leaf, and up to 8 on the branches. The bush gives a bucketful harvest. This is greatly facilitated by resistance to the most harmful infections - downy mildew, powdery mildew, and root rot. Zelentsy are 10 cm in size, 90 grams, excellent for preservation. They are often tuberculate, with light spines of medium size.

Tempo F1

The hybrid has been declared in the Russian Register since 2006 and has a state patent as an outstanding breeding achievement. Parthenocarpic for growing pickles (size varies around 5 cm) and gherkins (up to 7 cm). The greens do not outgrow, but require regular harvesting to actively increase the yield. The yield per square meter is a bucket of pickles or two buckets of gherkins. The cucumbers are tuberous, prickly, white-thorned, without voids inside. The main advantage is the impeccably dense and crispy flesh of the pickled products; the seeds are not felt. There is no bitterness.

The plant is tolerant of extremely high greenhouse temperatures, but also shows excellent yield results in open ground. Bundle ovary from three pieces. Characterized by long-term growth. Branching in plantings is very weak. Early and “long-lasting”: vegetable harvesting begins 42 days after germination and continues until the end of the season (provided the growth point of the central stem is maintained). Does not suffer from cladosporiosis. True and downy mildew, and cucumber mosaic too, practically do not “affect” it.
