Productivity is a relative sign, because it depends on a number of factors, including weather conditions, soil composition and proper care. However, there are still varieties that give an excellent harvest, not even in the most favorable conditions. As a rule, these are hybrids. In more detail with the most productive varieties of cucumbers for open ground, we suggest that you read further.
Maturing by maturity
Cucumbers can be both early ripening and long-term fruiting. If the region is characterized by a short summer, early species are more suitable, but in the case of a long summer season, the best option is late varieties. Which of them are more productive, it is worth considering separately.
Early (precocious)
From this group, the productive varieties are:
- Masha. This is a universal hybrid that is resistant to dangerous diseases, including powdery mildew, viral mosaic and cladosporiosis. It belongs to self-pollinating varieties, therefore it does not depend on insects. 6-7 ovaries are formed in the nodes, and the size of one green leaf is about 80-110 mm. Harvest can be harvested on the 36th day after planting. Cucumbers have a cylindrical shape with a skin of medium thickness, which is covered with large tubercles with small spines. The pulp is devoid of bitterness.
- Hermann. The vegetation period of this variety is 35-40 days. It brings short tuberous fruits without bitterness. They can be eaten fresh or used for conservation. It is worth considering that the plant does not develop at temperatures below 8 degrees.
- Kid. It bears fruit 30-40 days after emergence. They can be consumed fresh or used for harvesting for the winter. Such cucumbers are bee pollinated, therefore, they grow only in open ground. They need to be consumed within 10 days after the harvest, since then they lose their taste.
- Madame. It bears fruit on the 48th day after planting weighing up to 85 g. It grows in bunches, each of which has up to 7 cucumbers, which have a thin skin with small tubercles. Great for salting and salads.
- Delicious. This is a vigorous bush, which gives small greenbacks weighing up to 140 g and a length of 13 cm. Cucumbers have a loose skin and sweet crisp flesh. They are great for pickling. This variety is resistant to disease and tolerates a short temperature drop.

When planting late varieties of cucumbers in open ground, the crop can be obtained before the onset of cold weather.
Pollination Choice
According to this principle, cucumbers are bee pollinated or self-pollinated. In general, the latter are more suitable for open ground, however, if there is a beehive near the garden, varieties that are pollinated by bees can also be planted.
Bee pollinated
The most fruitful are the following hybrids:
- Noble. You can collect up to 12 g of such cucumbers. Each of them has white spikes and a length of up to 10-13 cm.
- Fortress. Gives the same yield as the previous variety. Zelentsy have an oval shape and a length of up to 10 cm. On the skin there are white stripes and brown spikes. Mostly used for salting.

Marking “F1” on a pack means hybrid seeds that have increased yield, good immunity, rapid growth, etc. But the cultures grown from these seeds will give poor offspring, so they are not left for seeds. Hybrids also require good agricultural technology, otherwise their advantages will not be fully disclosed.
Self-pollinating
They do not need pollination by bees, therefore they do not have empty flowers, do not bitter, remain elastic after transportation and pickling. The most productive hybrids are:
- Claudia. In the case of proper care for the season with 1 sq. Km. m you can collect 20 kg of the crop. Dark green cucumbers up to 10 cm long grow on the plant. They are universal, therefore they can be used for any purposes.

Bush varieties
Such a plant is a small bush about 1.5 m high, abundantly covered with green leaves and ovaries. As a rule, such varieties are precocious, and the most productive among them are:
