Effect of different protected structures on vegetative and yield attributes of cucumber under arid conditions of Rajasthan

Performance of Different Parthenocarpic Cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) Hybrids for Yield and Yield Attributing Traits under Shade Net House

“…The yield of hybrid directly influenced by average fruit weight. The present findings are close conformity with the findings of Sujatha (2017); Pragathi (2014); Singh et al, (2012); Kumar and Verma (2012); Parashar (2016) and Tiwari and Sharma (1999) in cucumber.…”

“…This ultimately favoured more fruit set. These results were in accordance with the findings of Parashar et al, (2016); Kumar et al, (2017); Cardoso and Silva (2003); Sideman (2011). The data revealed that the maximum fruit yield per vine, fruit yield per meter square and fruit yield per hectare were significantly influenced by various cultivars having a range of 7.70 kg/vine, 21.33 kg/m 2 and 220.06 t/ha, respectively.…”

“…It has been observed that the formation of photosynthates, their partitioning and distribution for the final sink were higher inside the shade net. The similar findings were reported by Sujatha (2017); Pragathi (2014); Hebbar et al, (2012); Parashar (2016); Premalatha et al, (2006) and Hochmuth and Leone (1996).…”

Influence of Different Protected Conditions on Growth and Yield of Parthenocarpic Cucumber (Cucumis sativus) Hybrids

“…The increased leaf area and leaf area index in polyhouse could be due to less light intensity in polyhouse which resulted in production of large sized leaves. Parashar et al, (2016) also reported that leaf area, vine length and internodal length of parthenocarpic cucumber were higher in polyhouse compared to shade house. Further the highest number of nodes (37.12) and relative chlorophyll content (45.56 SPAD) was recorded in 50 per cent shade house (C 3 ).…”
