It would seem that growing cucumbers in a greenhouse would not be difficult even for a novice amateur. However, unlike cucumber varieties for open ground, in order to get a guaranteed harvest, you need to wisely select varieties specifically designed for cultivation in closed ground. Parthenocarpic and self-pollinating varieties that do not require pollinators make it possible to grow cucumbers in protected ground under any weather conditions. A special approach is needed when choosing varieties for polycarbonate and heated winter greenhouses.
Most modern varieties and hybrids of cucumbers have excellent taste, decent yield, and complex resistance to viral and fungal infections. For lovers of experiments and exotics, there is always a chance to try Dutch new products and proven varieties.

Tips and recommendations for choosing for different regions of the country
Protected soil conditions, especially when covered with high-quality polycarbonate, partially smooth out climatic differences between regions. Many greenhouse cucumber hybrids have a certain versatility and successfully bear fruit in all regions.
But there are still some peculiarities in some important aspects:
- length of daylight hours;
- the ratio of cloudy and sunny weather;
- season length;
- temperature contrasts.
Modern breeders take into account the needs of different territories and create cucumber hybrids with “telling” names. Amateur vegetable growers can easily navigate them and choose zoned varieties for their region.
For the Moscow region
Greenhouse cucumber hybrids for Moscow and surrounding areas are offered by the breeding department. It continues the best traditions of the Soviet Timiryazev Academy. Well-known geographical concepts are reflected in the names of popular parthenocarpic hybrids of cucumbers: Podmoskovnye Vechery F1, Chistye Prudy F1, Maryina Roshcha F1. They are successfully cultivated by vegetable growers in the Middle Zone.
For the Urals
The Ural region is famous for temperature contrasts and weather disasters. But gardeners know how to get decent yields of greenhouse cucumbers. Those of them who choose self-pollinating hybrids with a “Ural character” will not be mistaken: Ural Gherkin F1, Ural Express F1, Ural Malachite F1, Taganay F1.
For Siberia
The sharply continental Siberian climate, with its deceptive warmth and short summers, dictates its own laws even for polycarbonate greenhouses. In the genetics of hybrid cucumbers for Siberia, breeders include maximum resistance to the vagaries of bad weather. They are easy to find by the names of the varieties: Siberian Express F1, Siberian Garland F1, Siberian Skorokhod F1, Siberian Large F1.

conclusions
It’s not enough to simply choose the appropriate variety of cucumbers (the name of the new productive variety) for the greenhouse. It is necessary to select the highest quality seeds from the numerous quantities offered by various manufacturers of planting material, and manage not to run into a fake. You should not purchase seeds from unknown manufacturers or suspiciously packaged ones. There is no need to save on planting material: high-quality seeds produced by well-known brands, as a rule, are not cheap. It is better to overpay and buy reliable material from which a rich harvest will grow, than to purchase a dubious cheap fake produced in some basement.

Dutch varieties of cucumbers for greenhouses
Those who like to experiment in their own dacha can try Dutch exotica. The recommended varieties are included in the state register and are suitable for growing in greenhouses under Russian conditions. Among the Dutch representatives, the following varieties can be distinguished: Angelina (2008), Gunnar (2014), Hector (2002) and Betina .
Angelina
Early maturing Dutch hybrid. A typical parthenocarpic for salad purposes. The plant belongs to the indeterminate type, it is of average growth vigor, with a predominantly female flowering type. Zelentsy are quite short, their shape is cylindrical, the surface is tuberculate, and the pubescence is whitish and very sparse. The cucumbers grow quite small - from 60 to 60 g. The taste is excellent. The variety is not affected by cladosporiosis.
Gunnar
Mid-season in terms of ripening, both for salad and canning purposes. It is a parthenocarpic that does not require pollination, of an indeterminate type with predominantly female flowers on the plant. The greenery itself is short, has a spindle shape and large tubercles on the surface; in nutritious soil and with sufficient moisture it reaches 118 g. The variety is rated the highest in taste. Productivity per 1 m² is 20.9 kilograms. In addition, this variety is resistant to cladosporiosis.
Hector
It is distinguished by early ripeness, belongs to the salad type, but is also often used in the canning industry. This is a determinate plant, having the form of a large bush, although quite compact with a predominance of female flowers on it. Zelentsy have a cylindrical shape, green color, rare but rather large tubercles and whitish pubescence. Greenery on good and nutritious soil often exceeds 100 g, its length is about 13 cm, and its diameter is just over 3.4 cm. The taste is simply excellent. Productivity is low - only 4 kg per 1 m². The good thing about this variety is that it is completely resistant to cucumber olive spot, cucumber mosaic virus, and powdery mildew.
Features of cucumbers suitable for growing in greenhouse conditions
In protected ground, many varieties of cucumbers, suitable for growing both in open and indoor ground, often show higher yields. This is due to the fact that in greenhouses this delicate, heat-loving crop is protected from unfavorable weather conditions or temperature fluctuations, and from unexpected cold snaps.
Nowadays polycarbonate greenhouses are very popular - they are easy to install on the site and these structures are quite reliable. Growing cucumbers in a polycarbonate greenhouse will allow you to get a good harvest
with a relative minimum of labor costs for the manufacture of a glass greenhouse. From a financial point of view, this is also more profitable.
When choosing varieties and hydrides of seed material of this vegetable plant, you need to clearly know what requirements are imposed on plants:
- the harvested crop will be used for conservation or food;
- at what time of year will cucumbers be grown indoors;
- size of ripe fruits.
You also need to pay attention to how specific varieties or hybrids are pollinated:
- insects;
- are self-pollinating;
- parthenocarpic (not requiring pollination).
When growing varieties that required pollination by bees, it was necessary to attract these flying insects into greenhouses or place hives in them. Sometimes it is not possible to attract bees, in which case you have to pollinate the female flowers manually, but this procedure will have to be repeated regularly in order to get a good harvest as a result.
When growing self-pollinating and parthenocarpic cucumbers, summer residents do not have such problems. But these types of cucumbers are unlikely to be able to collect seed material for further planting, so seeds have to be purchased annually. But, as a rule, with the right choice of variety, the high yield of such hybrids always pays off with a large margin.
The main positive qualities of cucumbers grown in greenhouses should be:
- self-pollinating;
- high resistance to diseases;
- shade tolerance.
Cucumber varieties for winter greenhouses
For winter heated greenhouses, varieties are suitable that easily tolerate artificial sources of light and heat and grow with a lack of sunlight. Among these varieties are: Amur (2000), Baloven (2004), Ginga (2002), hybrids Hercules and Amazon .
Minion
A variety for salad and canning purposes, it produces its first fruits after 45-46 days, and is distinguished by its indeterminate nature, vigorous growth and abundant foliage formation. It branches weakly, and the plant produces mostly female flowers. Zelentsy have an oval shape and a short neck, they are green, with medium ribbing and tubercles of both medium density and medium size and interesting black pubescence. On good soil, the weight of greens can exceed 82 g, the length is just over 10 cm, and the diameter is 3.2 cm. The taste of greens is ideal, and from 1 m² you can collect more than 14 kg of fruit.
Resistant varieties of cucumbers for greenhouses
Most modern varieties and hybrids are characterized by complex resistance to viral and fungal diseases of cucumber. Among the most resistant varieties we can recommend: Pasadena (1998), Natalie (1998), Masha (2000) and Octopus (1998).
Pasadena
The variety is resistant to cladosporiosis, powdery mildew, and is not afraid of the cucumber simple mosaic virus. Medium-early ripening variety, typical parthenocarpic, for salad and canning purposes. The bush, depending on the type of soil, can be either low-growing or vigorous, with a female type of flowering. The greens are tuberculate, with whitish pubescence, cylindrical in shape, green and dark green in color. The length of the greens is small, there is spotting and ribbing, the tuberculation is medium, and there is no bitterness at all. On good soil, greens can reach 93 g and have a very good taste.
Natalie
