Study on the Selection of Fruit-type Cucumber Varieties Suitable for Gobi Solar Greenhouses
This study aimes to provide references for the selection of fruit-type cucumber varieties for facility cultivation in the Gobi solar greenhouse suitable for organic substrate cultivation in the Hexi region.Using the local variety,Hanbao 5,as a control,the botanical characters,fruit commercial traits,nutritional quality,yield,and disease resistance of 7 introduced cucumber varieties are determined.The results indicate that under substrate cultivation,Mini 8 exhibits the most outstanding overall performance,with a lower node position for the first female flower,strong vine growth,moderate branching,strong resistance,straight fruit,green and smooth skin without spines,glossy appearance,and a sweet and crisp taste,making it commercially favorable and suitable for local consumption habits.It is recommended for promotion in Gobi solar greenhouse and steel-frame greenhouse cucumber production.Variety Marsha has short,stout fruit with dark green skin and dense spines,offering a better taste and high yield with strong disease resistance and vigorous growth,making it suitable for extensive cultivation.However,its fruit appearance is not favored by consumers,significantly reducing its economic value and hindering rapid promotion.Variety Cuimeiyubao features round,stout fruit with a smooth,delicate feel,spiny-free skin,and a clear,crisp taste that is well-received by consumers,indicating great market development potential for this fruit-type cucumber variety,though it has a lower yield and is suitable for sightseeing and picking cultivation.
