Self-pollinated cucumber varieties
The plant will bear fruit if its flowers are pollinated by insects. This axiom is not always effective, because there are options when in one plant there are two principles, both male and female. In this case, self-pollination can very easily occur, i.e.it is enough for the action of the wind or special actions of a person with the help of which the pollen is transferred, and the formation of the fetus will occur. This is a very convenient way to propagate cucumbers. In this case, varieties and hybrids are needed that are simply ideal for a self-pollinated method, when grown simply in a garden with seeds.
