This study presents a comparative evaluation of the phenological indicators of various cucumber varieties and hybrids (F1) under the sharply continental climate conditions of Karakalpakstan over the period 2024–2026. The research findings revealed significant differences in field seed germination, flowering phases, and fruiting periods. The highest field germination rates were observed in the Saturn F1 (93%) and Zena F1 (92%) hybrids, which also produced female flowers earlier (in 32 days) than the other samples. Furthermore, these two hybrids required the shortest time to first harvest (39 days), while demonstrating the longest fruiting period (Zena F1 – 42 days, Saturn F1 – 41 days). Based on these findings, the study concludes that the Saturn F1 and Zena F1 hybrids, which showed high adaptability and productivity indicators under the conditions of Karakalpakstan, can be recommended for cultivation.
