The desire of every amateur gardener is to see the result of his labor, and for gardeners this result is yield. When breeding new varieties of cucumbers, breeders pay special attention to two indicators - the resistance of new varieties to characteristic diseases and the number of fruits during the growing season. However, among all the variety of hybrids, there are those that hold leading positions in quality and yield.
The best yielding hybrids
When choosing seeds for powerful seedlings, and after a high yield of hybrids, be sure to pay attention to the presence of the F1 symbol on the package. It denotes that these seeds are the best in performance and are obtained by crossing two different varieties.
In addition, be sure to keep in mind that the hybrid must belong to the "early ripening" group and have a long growing season. Also pay attention to the ripening period of the cucumbers - its choice depends on the purpose of using the fruit. For example, if you want to get early fruits for salads, then you need to stop at high-yielding varieties of the spring-summer period. If the goal of growing is to preserve vegetables - choose hybrids with a ripening period "summer-autumn".
