Assortment of cucumbers has evolved rapidly and radically in recent years. The consequence of this development has resulted in increasing the number of hybrids Cornichon type as well as quality. Recently created F1 hybrids are totally gynoecious and presents type of parthenocarpic fruiting and also being very productive. It presents a high resistance to some cucumber specific diseases being recommended for both culture in field and protected culture in solarium. Biological products used in foliar fertilization, Cropmax, Bionat and Bioleafz are stimulating synthesis of phytohormones that regulate the process of maturation facilitating norming of cucumber fruit load, that is responsible for increasing the number of flowers and fruits. Fertilizations were made every 10 days, applying organic fertilizers according to appropriate technological practices to five hybrid type cucumbers gherkins, Kybria, Karaoke, Compomist, Trilogy and Promisa, pursuing the influence of products used in foliar fertilization on the number and amount of fruit reported to the plant and surface.
