Abstract. The further development of protected soil vegetable growing depends on the availability of competitive, highly productive and disease-resistant cucumber hybrids. In the Middle Urals, breeding of this culture is carried out by breeders of the Department of Vegetable Growing and Fruit Growing named after prof. N. F. Konyaev FSBEI HE Ural SAU. To select the best samples for crossing and successful breeding work, a collection nursery is annually created on the basis of a breeding and seed-growing complex in the educational and experimental economy of the university to study new promising hybrids and varieties in spring polycarbonate greenhouses. The purpose of the study is to study cucumber hybrids for the selection of promising for a set of economically valuable characteristics and resistance to major diseases and use in further breeding work. Methods. Experiments in spring polycarbonate greenhouses to study cucumber hybrids were carried out in accordance with the methodological guidelines for protected soil and according to the classical method of state port testing. Concomitant observations were carried out according to conventional methods and methods adopted in protected soil. Results. According to the results of the studies, it was found that the most productive hybrids were F1 Meva, F1 Cheboksarets, F1 Okhtinskiy with a number of fruits of 47.1 pcs/plant. Hybrids showed resistance to the main pest diseases: F1 Shik, F1 Meva, F1 Armada, F1 Molodets, F1 Buratino, F1 Brunet and F1 Berendey. Thus, the above hybrids with beneficial properties and resistance to diseases and pests can be used as sources of these traits and immunity for the further selection process. Scientific novelty. For the first time in the Middle Urals, it was established that the duration of phenophases in cucumber plants does not affect yield. The increase in plant biomass is directly proportional to the increase in productivity. Prospective hybrids were selected for use in the selection process.
