Environmental factors can affect the proportion of male to female flowers.1
For example, plant density can affect the number of female flowers. At
higher densities, plants compete for water, nutrients, and sunlight, and
the resulting stress can lead to a higher proportion of male flowers.
Optimum populations for hand-picked slicing cucumbers are in the range
of 24,000 to 26,000 plants per acre. A range of 26,000 to 30,000 plants
per acre is recommended for handpicked pickling cucumbers and a range of
45,000 to 65,000 for machine-harvested pickling cucumber. Other
stresses, such as damage from insects or blowing soil, low light
intensities, or water stress, can result in the production of fewer
female flowers.1 The proportion of male to female flowers is
also influenced by temperature, with higher temperatures (86°F and
above) promoting maleness and lower temperatures (60°F and below)
promoting femaleness. At low temperatures, there may not be enough male
flowers to adequately pollinate the crop, while at high temperatures,
there may not be enough female flowers to produce the desired number of
fruit.
