The trial was carried out in glasshouse conditions at Maritsa Vegetable Crops Research Institute, Plovdiv during 2006-2007 period. It was perform a comparatively study between new developed cucumber cultivar Mina F1 and the control cultivar Mirey F1. The cultivars are characterized with long fruit type Dutch type, female type of flowering gynoecious and parthenocarpic formation of fruits fruits can set without pollination. Biometrical characterization shows weak differences between studied cultivars. Vegetation period to first fruit set earliness of cv. Mina F1 is shorter 61.3 days compare to cv. Mirey F1 64.0 days. Average plant length of cv. Mina F1 is 10 cm higher, number of leaves per plant is 0.7 more and fruit length is 2.33 cm longer compare to the control. Nevertheless the differences are not significant. The new cultivar is superior in total and regular yield to cv. Mirey F1 by 112%. Higher productivity is mainly due to higher average number of fruits produced per plant – 2.99. The dynamic of regular yield showed that Mina F1 formed steadily increasing higher yield till the end of vegetation period compare to that of Mirey F1. In the end of the vegetation period cv. Mina F1 formed 12 861.48 kg/da regular yield compare to cv. Mirey F1 – 11 389.21 kg/da, average for two years. Yield structure of cv. Mirey F1 and cv. Mina F1 demonstrated no significant differences. The regular yield is 89% of the total production. The new cultivar is suitable for growing in greenhouse conditions.
