The aim of the study is to compare the parameters of the crop yields, phenological development and commercial production of cucumbers under conventional and trellis method in open areas of the Tashkent region of Uzbekistan. The technology of growing cucumbers by the trellis method in open ground for vegetables is an innovative way on small farms and in the country’s gardens. Unlike the conventional method, under the trellis method the number of seedlings increases, the air exchange between plants is improved, the soil moisture content is also improved, the quality of fruits increases and the diseases in the soil decrease. In samples of Uzbekistan 740, Navruz, Sevinch, Samar F1 and Orzu F1, high merchantability in was obtained. Compared to the traditional planting method, the trellis method allowed to enhance crop yields by 4.3, 5.0, 6.6 t/ha for the Uzbekistan-740, Nаvruz and Sevinch varieties and increased yields by 6.5 and 6, 8 t/ha for Samar F1 and Orzu F1 hybrids, respectively. In addition, marketable products of Uzbekistan-740, Navruz and Sevinch varieties were 24.6, 32.4 and 38.8 t/ha, for Samar F1 and Orzu F1 hybrids - 39.7 and 42.8 t/ha, respectively. The research results proved the feasibility of growing cucumbers using trellis technology in open ground for similar soil and climatic conditions of Uzbekistan..
