The trial was carried out in glasshouse conditions at Maritsa Vegetable Crops Research Institute – Plovdiv during 2006-2007 period. It was perform comparatively study between new develop cucumber cultivar Kiara F1 and the control cultivar Mirey F1. Kiara F1 and Mirey F1 possess gynoecious type of flowering. Plants form parthenocarpic fruits fruits can set without pollination. Biometrical measurements showed weak differences of vegetation period to first fruit set earliness between two cultivars. Kiara F1 formed more vigorous plants, which average length 207 cm compare to Mirey F1 – 181 cm. Average fruit length of Kiara F1 is 33 cm that is significantly higher compare to cv. Mirey F1 – 30 cm. These two traits are in relations to the yield. It was established that the new cultivar exceeds the control in total and regular yields with 23.22% and 21.05%, respectively. The differences are significant at P 1% and P 0.1%. Higher yield of Kiara F1 is result of increased fruit number per plant average 32.18 compare to control cv. Mirey F1 average 27.49. Dynamic of productivity shows that the yield of Kiara F1 increases in greater extent during the vegetation period compare to the control cultivar. In the end of the vegetation period cv. Kiara F1 realized 13 787.14 kg/da regular yield compare to cv. Mirey F1 – 11 389.21 kg/da, average for two years. Yield structure demonstrated no significant differences. The regular yield is 87-89% of the total production. The new hybrid is intended for production in greenhouse conditions.
