“…It's a summer season (temperature between 18 and 24 °C) short duration (90-100 days) crop that matures quickly. It is used as a cooling food in summer [19,21]. Cucumber grows best on light, heavy, well-drained soil with an abundance of organic matter.…”

The present investigation was undertaken to estimate the comparison of costs and returns for cucumber and bitter gourd production. The specific objectives of this study included the profitability of cucumber and bitter gourd as well as identifying the major constraints faced by cucumber and bitter gourd growers. The study was based on primary data which were collected through personal interviews with the help pre-tested survey scheduled. In which, a multistage stratified purposive cum random sampling technique was used to select the district, block, villages, and respondents. The Results indicated that bitter gourd production was profitable crop in comparison to cucumber. Besides, marginal farms’ was shown to be more profitable than small and medium farms according to an analysis of aggregate measures that were calculated for financial efficiency. Moreover, to identify the constraints the Garrett ranking technique was used. From the results, cucurbit farmers faced several issues of managerial, technical, and financial. In which top two most common problems in management & technical faced by them were lack of technical knowledge and unavailability of quality seeds (HYV) and the top two financial problems faced by them were untimely availability of loans and high-interest rates respectively. Major suggestions of cucurbit farmers to overcome these constraints are training being imparted to implement new technologies, credit facilities with low-rate interest by institutional agencies and storage facilities in mandi should be provided to the farmers for their perishable products.

“…Despite their significance in agriculture, cucurbit breeding confronts several challenges, such as barriers to interspecific and intergeneric hybridization, embryo abortion, and poor seed viability [5][6][7]. These obstacles impede the utilization of desirable traits from wild and exotic cucurbit species, constraining the genetic diversity accessible for crop enhancement [8]. Embryo rescue (ER) is a crucial technique to address these challenges [9,10].…”

Embryo rescue is a vital technique in cucurbit breeding and propagation, addressing challenges such as embryo abortion, poor seed viability, and incompatibility barriers. This method involves the excision of immature embryos from seeds followed by their in vitro culture on a nutrient medium, providing an environment conducive to their growth and development. In cucurbits, embryo rescue has been extensively utilized to overcome barriers to hybridization, enabling the production of interspecific and intergeneric hybrids with desired traits. Various factors, including genotype, developmental stage of embryos, and culture conditions, influence the success of embryo rescue in cucurbits. Optimal nutrient formulations, growth regulators, and culture techniques are critical for promoting embryo germination, shoot elongation, and subsequent plantlet establishment. Additionally, embryo rescue facilitates the recovery of valuable genetic material from wild and exotic cucurbit species, expanding genetic diversity and developing novel cultivars with improved traits such as disease resistance, yield, and quality. This review highlights the principles, applications, and advancements in embryo rescue technology in cucurbits, emphasizing its significance in cucurbit breeding programs and crop improvement efforts.

“…The initial growth of cucurbits is one of the most important phases due to the plant's high nutritional and water demand and sensitivity to biotic and abiotic stresses (Nóbrega et al, 2020;Ó et al, 2020). Parameters evaluated at the beginning of the growing cycle indicate whether the plant will develop and establish satisfactorily in the field (Phani et al, 2021;Xanthopoulou et al, 2022;Cáceres-Hernandez et al, 2023). Good initial development depends on the use of technologies to support plants, especially in the Cerrado, with soils of low natural fertility and high acidity (Dias et al, 2019;Lima et al, 2019;Procópio & Barreto, 2021) and with a climate classified as humid tropical.…”

Growing watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) and melon (Cucumis melo) is an important activity in the Brazilian Cerrado; however, many factors limit cultivation, including the difficulty of producing high-quality seedlings. In this study, the effect of humic substances (HS) on growth of ‘Crimson Sweet’ watermelon and ‘Yellow’ melon seedlings was evaluated. An experiment was carried out in a completely randomized design with five HS treatments applied to the soil: 0 (control), 5, 10, 15, and 20 g L-1. The growth of watermelon and melon seedlings was influenced by the application of humic substances. Use of HS increased plant height, stem diameter, root length, root volume, shoot dry biomass, root dry biomass, and Dickson’s quality index. HS boost plant growth, whose improved root system may have provided greater absorption and accumulation of mineral nutrients. Based on the quality of the seedlings (Dickson index), the application of 14 g L-1 of HS is recommended for watermelon seedling production and 15 g L-1 of HS for melon seedling production.
