Objective:
To evaluate performance and quality of cucumber breeding lines for pickling cucumber production in northern Ohio. Thirteen cultivars or advanced breeding lines from commercial seed companies were tested under northern Ohio growing conditions at the OARDC Vegetable Crops Branch near Fremont in Sandusky County.
Methods:
The trial was planted into a Colwood fine sandy loam soil with 4 percent organic matter. Soil test nutrient levels are presented in table 2. A conventional fertility program was followed. Broadcast applications of 475 lb/A 0-14-42 and 206 lb/A 34-0-0, (70 lb N, 67 lb P2O5, 200 lb K2O) fertilizers were incorporated on May 13. Command 4E (clomazone) herbicide at ½ pt/A was sprayed and incorporated on May 27. The trial was planted on June 4 with a John Deere model 71 Flexi-planter equipped with Kincaid cone-type seed distributing units. Furadan 4F insecticide at 2.6 oz/1000 ft. was sprayed into the seed furrow at planting. Seeds were placed approximately two inches apart in the row and one inch deep. Each seed entry was planted over four replications in a randomized complete block design. Individual treatments consisted of one row, 30 ft. long with 30 in. between rows. The trial was thinned by hand on June 22 to a final stand of 9 inches between plants. An additional 40 lb N/A (6.7 gal/A of 28% urea-ammonium nitrate solution) was knifed into the soil on July 6 (prior to vine drop). Three honey bee hives were placed in proximity to the trial for pollination. Standard recommendations were followed for disease and insect control through the growing season. Irrigation water was not applied since rainfall was adequate. The trial was harvested twice per week, beginning July 16 and ending August 13, providing nine harvests. All cucumbers (including cull fruit) was harvested. The cucumbers were sorted by size and cull categories. Culls included fruits which were diseased or misshapen as shown in "Schedule 1, Official Chart, Pickle Packers International, Inc., Crooked Pickles and Nubbins". The remaining cucumbers were sorted by a commercial sizing machine, into the diameters shown below. Fruit length, diameter, and seed cavity size measurements were taken from samples of size 1b and 2a pickles on July 27 and August 6; size 3a measurements were taken on August 10. Descriptive characteristics and observational notes were also taken.
| Size | Diameter (inches) |
| 1a | 0 - 13/16 |
| 1b | 13/16 - 1 1/16 |
| 2a | 1 1/16 - 1 5/16 |
| 2b | 1 5/16 - 1 ½ |
| 3a | 1 ½ -1 13/16 |
| 3b | 1 13/16 - 2 |
| 4 | greater than 2 |
Discussion and Results:
Yields of pickling cucumbers in northern Ohio in 1998 were considered average to slightly above average. Growers and processors are interested in improved cultivars which yield consistently over the harvest
season, given the wide variation in soils, temperature and rainfall across the growing region. Cultivars should resist stem breakage by the frequent handling of harvest labor, and be disease tolerant. Important quality characteristics may vary among processors, but in general cultivars should produce fruit of uniform length and diameter, be uniformly green without excessive striping or yellowness, have small sized seeds and seed cavity, have a warty surface appearance (not smooth). Fruits should be firm, with no carpel separation or "puffiness".
The growth of plants in this trial was generally good, and no serious pest problems were observed. Temperatures during the growing season were near normal. Rainfall was near normal during June and July. August rainfall was 4 inches higher than the long-term average (table 1.) Two heavy rain events, on August 5-7 and August 24-27, resulted in saturated soils over a period of several days. The added stress of low oxygen in the soil profile caused a decline in cucumber yields. Pollination by honey bees was probably insufficient during this inclement weather as well. Yields had declined by the final harvest on August 13.
‘Vlassett’ can be used as a standard for comparison when interpreting the data, since it is widely used in northern Ohio. One should also keep in mind that the following data are a reflection of growing conditions in 1998 only. New cultivars should be evaluated over several seasons in order to judge their performance over a range of weather conditions. On-farm strip trials should be planted to evaluate varieties grown with individual cultural practices. Cultivars which show promise based on yield and quality characteristics include [click on a variety name to see a picture] Patton, EX 1903, FMX 5020, and HMX 3469. The vigor or "health" of plants late in the harvest season varied greatly among the entries (table 3).
