For growing cucumber seeds, it is better to use film shelters and apply artificial pollination. Several well-developed plants, typical of the variety, are selected and on them, the day before blooming, male and female flowers are isolated with pieces of cotton wool in 3-5 nodes of the main stem. When the flowers open, the females are pollinated with two or three males taken from another plant of the same variety, and again isolated with cotton wool. When the ovaries are enlarged (after 3-4 days), the isolation is removed. With careful artificial pollination in one greenhouse, you can get seeds of several varieties. Seed fruits are harvested when they acquire the typical color for the variety (dark yellow, brown) and mesh. The collected fruits are ripened for 5-6 days until they soften, cut and spoon the seeds with the pulp into glassware with a spoon, fermentation lasts 3-4 days and is considered complete if, when the pulp is squeezed, clean seeds remain in the hand. When washed, light seeds and pulp float up, after which they are removed. The washed seeds are dried and stored.
