The best varieties of cucumbers with a bunch (bouquet) ovary: self-pollinated for the greenhouse and bee-pollinated for open ground

Recently, bunch cucumbers have become especially popular among gardeners, which, rather, are more correct to call cucumbers of a bouquet type of flowering or a bunch type of fruiting.

Further, it will be described in detail what kind of cucumbers they are, what are their differences and advantages, what are the nuances of cultivation agrotechnics, in particular - how to form them correctly. And of course, you will be presented with a list of the most popular and trusted by many gardeners of hybrids and varieties of bunch cucumbers.

What are bunch (bouquet) cucumbers and what are the advantages of growing them

Bunch cucumbers got their name due to the fact that they form in each internode several ovaries at once (from 3 to 10 or more)which, when ripe, form bundles of zelents.

By the way! Cucumbers that have 8-10 or more ovaries, called superbeam.

Have common varieties or hybrids of cucumbersin leaf axils, as a rule, 1-2 inflorescences are formed.

Interesting! Bunch cucumbers are also often called bouquet, because in the process of flowering, they form many flowers growing from one place (node), which is very similar to a bouquet. Therefore, this type of flowering is usually called bouquet.

Interesting! Bosom is called the place where the leaf leaves the stem. In this place there is a bud, from which either an shoot or a flower (ovary) can grow.

The advantages of growing bunch cucumbers are:

• High yield due to the large number of ovaries.

One plant with a bundle type of fruiting is capable of producing a yield comparable to 2-3 ordinary plants.

• Mass ripening - simultaneous pouring of fruits.
• Zelentsy are small in size, as a rule, they are gherkins or pickles. In other words, they are ideal for pickling and canning.

Features of growing cucumbers of bunch-type fruiting

If you do not properly care for bunch cucumbers (follow the cultivation techniques), then you can not even dream of high yields.

The nuances of agricultural technology for growing bunch cucumbers are expressed in the following (perhaps, in some sense,can be called disadvantages):

• Required good and uniform illumination, stable temperature conditions.
• High demands on moisture and nutrition - they are needed water more often and feed regularly (at least 1 time per week, preferably with complex mineral fertilizers such as Aquarin, Master, Fertika, which was formerly called Kemira). Also initially required exclusively fertile and loose soil.

Important! If you do not regularly feed the plants, you will lose a lot of ovaries, which will begin to turn yellow and dry.

Potash fertilizing is especially important, but nitrogen fertilization during the period of ovary and fruiting is contraindicated.

• Needed constant collection of fruits - every other day or even every day.

Note! If you come to the dacha only for the weekend, then 1-2 greens in each bunch will outgrow, and the rest of the ovaries will lack moisture and nutrition. Because of this, they will begin to turn yellow and dry, in other words, overgrown fruits will hold back the filling of new ones.

Therefore, in order to realize the main advantage of growing bunch cucumbers, it is recommended to collect green leaves as often as possible and at a younger stage of green leaves (pickles or gherkins). Only in this case practically all ovaries will be able to develop and to a lesser extent the natural discharge of the ovary will take place.

Thus, many gardeners agree that bundled varieties of cucumbers are, rather, for those who either live in the summer in the country, or grow them on the backyard of a private house. However, there are varieties with a bundle type of ovary laying that do not require such frequent care.

By the way! Indeed, many gardeners complain that with bunch cucumbers too much trouble (for example, it is banal in bunches it is not very convenient to harvest, because neighboring ovaries can be easily damaged), and it is much easier to grow ordinary varieties (hybrids), getting, in general, a similar harvest.

Note! The number of ovaries per node can vary depending on growing conditions and the location of the node on the plant.

Even in the most superbeam hybrids, the number of ovaries per node on a plant can vary from 2-4 to 10-11 and more.

Reduce the number of ovaries:

• excess nitrogen supply;
• overdrying the soil;
• strong overheating;
• excessive shading.

This is noticeable in the case of very rapid growth of the main stem (the so-called effect "Resorption of bundles"). In the lower nodes of the main stem, there may be more ovaries than in the nodes of the middle tier when overfeeding plants in hot weather.

Under optimal conditions, when the growth of plants is not too fast, the number of ovaries in a node increases from the lower nodes to the upper ones and from the main stem to the lateral shoots. Relatively low air temperature, mainly at night (the soil temperature should be optimal: from +21 to 24 degrees), optimal conditions for the growth and development of plants contribute to an increase in the number of ovaries in the nodes.

By the way! The largest beams formed under the trellis, and on well-lit side shoots.

How to form bunch cucumbers: rules for pinching and pinching

Cucumbers with bunched ovaries must be shaped, which can be done according to the following scheme:

By the way! Formation is also necessary so that the plant does not shade itself.

• from 0 to 50 cm (zone 0, first 3-4 knots) - holdblindness those. you need remove all the rudiments of lateral shoots and ovaries up to 4-5 leaves, whileleaves all must be left.

Important! Blinding the lower part of the bushes must be carried out for all types of cucumbers.

Moreover, this operation follows perform as early as possible, required before blooming flowers in blinding knots.

• From 50 cm to 1 meter (zone 1, next 3-4 knots) - you need remove all side shoots, leave 1 ovary (bunch) for 1 sheet (not an escape, namely a leaf).
• from 1 meter to 1.5 meters (zone 2, next 3-4 knots), pinch all the following side shoots after 2 leaves, i.e. each should have 2 leaves and, accordingly, 2 ovaries (1 ovary = 1 sheet).
• from 1.5 meters to 2 meters or to the end of the trellis (zone 3), pinch all side shoots after 3 leaves, i.e. leave 1 ovary (bunch) for each 1 sheet, i.e. in total there should be 3 bundles and 3 sheets.
• from 2 meters (from the end of the trellis) and to the side (zone 4), similar to the 1st zone, the main lash needs to be pinched after 3-4 sheets, leaving 1 ovary (bunch) for each leaf (3-4 bunches and 3-4 leaves).

Important! The producer of seeds on the package may suggest a different scheme for the formation of cucumber bushes. You should stick to it.

Alternative schemes for the formation of cucumbers with a bouquet type of fruiting:

By the way! The following schemes are more suitable for superbundled cucumbers, in which more than 8-10 ovaries are laid.

The best bunch cucumbers

Naturally, not all varieties, or rather, mostly hybrids of bunch cucumbers, are the same, so you need to choose a specific variety for yourself and your conditions so that the result obtained can meet your expectations as much as possible.

Next, a list of the best bunch cucumbers will be presented, prepared on the basis of the degree of popularity of the names of hybrids, an analysis of the reviews of experienced gardeners, as well as the personal opinion of the author.

By the way! Cucumbers with bundled ovaries are like parthenocarpic (self-pollinating, or rather "not requiring pollination"), and bee-pollinated.

Bee-pollinated bunch cucumbers: top-4

Bee-pollinated hybrids and varieties now they are not so popular, but many gardeners are happy to grow exactly these cucumbers of a bouquet type of flowering and manual fruiting.

Bee-pollinated, including bunch cucumbers, are primarily intended for open ground, but they can be quite successfully grown in a greenhouse.

List of the most popular (best) bee-pollinated bundle cucumbers (alphabetically):

Other bee-pollinated beam hybrids and varieties

Note! If a firm sells seeds, then it is not necessarily the originator.

• Firms "Aelita": Afonya F1, Eroha F1, Ira F1, Coryphaeus F1, Pet F1, Salt F1 himself, Three comrades F1, Crunch F1.
• Firms "Manul": Alphabet F1, Acorn F1, Captain F1, Compass F1, Teremok F1, Saltan F1.

By the way! Beam hybrids Captain and Acorn have a valuable feature - a slow filling of fruits, which prevents their outgrowth with rare harvests. This feature will be especially valuable for gardeners who come to garden plots only on weekends.

• Of course, the seeds of bee-pollinated hybrids and varieties of bunch cucumbers are also sold by other well-known seed producers, such as Gavrish, Partner, Sedek, Semko, Search and other agricultural firms.

Well, now you know what bunch cucumbers are or, as they are more correctly called, cucumbers with a bouquet type of flowering or a bunch type of fruiting (sometimes they also say “with a bunch arrangement of ovaries”). Indeed, the agricultural technology of growing them requires a slightly greater intensity of care, but all your costs will be fully justified when you start harvesting. Although difficulties may arise here, you will have to do this almost every day (however, this is in some sense an advantage). You just have to decide on the varieties (hybrids) you like the most and purchase them in a trusted store.
