All cucumbers are divided into two large groups - pcheloopyljaemogo and parthenocarpic.Both are quite often seen in suburban areas and gardens.Parthenocarpic varieties of cucumbers are sometimes erroneously called self-pollinating.It was derived for a long time for use in greenhouses.Zelentsy this species are formed without any pollination at all.Therefore correct to call them samoplodnye.
Currently these are used for the cultivation of cucumbers in the open ground.Moreover, most gardeners prefer their self-pollinated varieties.If we compare the characteristics of both groups have samoplodnye can note a lot of advantages over traditional.Parthenocarpic cucumber varieties characterized by a lack of bitterness in the fruit, continuous fruiting, better resistance to adverse weather conditions and various diseases.Growing them seems appropriate also because the population of bees and other pollinating insects in recent years significantly decreased in nature.
Today, the most popular variety of cucumber, referring to samoplodnye group - is F1 Zador.It is an early maturing hybrid type of so-called cornichons.It is distinguished by an unusually high yield.Zelentsy relatively dark, lumpy, have a beautiful cylindrical shape.The main difference between this hybrid samoplodnye species previously used that data cucumbers ideal for canning.They are small (8-10 cm) and excellent taste.
parthenocarpic cucumber varieties, which include enthusiasm, remarkable by the fact that they are absolutely no fruit seeds.This makes them more suitable for winter preparations, because of pickled pickles or possible formation of voids.Peel them not too thick, and consequently during canning salt easily penetrates therethrough.The flesh is in this case remains crisp and strong.If you plan to store them in the cellar, the banks can not even roll covers.In this case, it is best to use at salting of spring water.
Partenokarpiki - it is high-yielding varieties of cucumbers.The same Zador provides up to 12 kg of fruit with 1 m2.This contributes to the intensive development of the stems almost the entire growing season.As a result, the whip form unusually strong curtain.Collect fruit Zadora is very easy, as the leaves he is not too great.Cultivation can be carried out as a seedling method, and by sowing seeds directly into open ground.The most commonly used method of gardeners planting at the same time - in the distance.
Zador was at first popular variety gardeners greenhouse samoplodnikov adapted for cultivation in the open field.However, at the moment it is certainly not the only one.Parthenocarpic varieties of cucumbers are represented, for example, Marinda F1, Masha F1, Shchedryk F1 and many others.Perhaps the only drawback is the lack of samoplodnikov opportunity to harvest the seeds yourself.But, given that they are not too expensive, it is particularly a great disadvantage can not be considered.
