Mexican production of vegetables under greenhouse conditions has been increased notably during the last year to about 1500 ha. The main crop in greenhouse production is tomato, but european cucumber is a potential crop due to high yield and quality, with a good price in the marketplace and a short growing season. The objective of this trial was to evaluate eight european cucumber varieties and to choose those with high yield and fruit quality, and disease resistance. The experiment was carried out at the experimental station (INIFAP-CIRNO). Greenhouse conditions were: polyethylene (8.0 mL), without temperature control; natural ventilation; and soil with electrical conductivity of 1.22 dS·m -1  and pH 7.96. Sowing date for seed was 15 Oct. 2004. Plant density was 3.78 plants per m 2 . The harvest period was 26 Dec. 2004 to 11 Mar. 2005, with an average of 10 cuttings. Varieties with highest yield were `Imanaol', `Bermejo', `Dominica', and `Kalunga', with 18.9, 15.2, 14.8, and 14.3 kg·m 2 , respectively. Fruit quality was excellent in all varieties; however, `Imanaol' had the highest percentage of size and fruit number. The main insect pest during the year was white fly ( Bemissia sp.) and the most important disease was powdery mildew ( Erishipecichoracearum ).
