Biological potential of hybrids of a cucumber of foreign selection

Abstract

The purpose. To study, assess and select assortment of hybrids of a cucumber of foreign selection according to biological potential in conditions of growing in film glasshouses of Left-bank Forest-steppe. Methods. Laboratory-analytical, experimentally-field, statistical. Results. Indexes of variability of levels of solid basis and basic chemical elements in fruits on an instance probed assortment of hybrids F1 of a cucumber of foreign selection are calculated and analyzed. Conclusions. In film glasshouses of Leftbank Forest-steppe it is expedient to cultivate modern hybrids F1 of a cucumber of foreign selection Lenara F1 and Ecole F1. These hybrids among probed ensured the greatest content of sugar (2,49% in fruits of hybrid Lenar F1 and 2,48% in fruits of hybrid F1 Ecole), of ascorbic acid – 8,97 and 9,38 mg/100 g accordingly.
