Getting seeds and planning landings of vegetable cultures for the current year, many summer residents have a question: What to buy, grades or hybrids?.

Grades are received as a result of a seyolektsiya and they expressed sortoyovy properties. F1 hybrids, or gib­ridy the first generation, poluche­ny by means of cross-pollination for obtaining spetsiyoalny properties, such as: povyyoshenny productivity, an ustoychiyovost to diseases, the good taste, an unusual form or an odnorodyonost of fruits. Undoubtedly, vozyomozhnost of hybrids of the first poyokoleniye exceed possibilities of pure grades. Besides, gib­ridy don’t keep the properties in the following generations.

Production of hybrids is more labor-consuming, than grades therefore their seeds are more expensive much more. Hybrids of F1 of any cultures are better for growing up sprouts not to lose any seed.

So after all, grades or hybrids? In the conditions of giving it is better vyrashhi­vat hybrids of vegetables. At the nebolyyoshy area from them it is possible polu­chit more big and kachestvenyony crop. Many hybrids of cucumbers have the majority of pistillate flowers and are deprived gore­chi. Hybrids of late cabbage mo­gut very long to be stored (till 12 months).

But some cultures, such as onions, carrots, a beet, a garden radish, are better to grow up the high-quality. Their hybrids too expensive also don’t give special results.
