“…This increase in yield may be attributed to its better performance in yield per plant which ultimately resulted in an increase in yield per 100 m 2 . Similar results were also reported by Bhatia et al (2012) and Dhillon et al (2017).…”

An experiment was conducted to study the effect of different planting dates, spacing and training systems on growth and yield of cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) under naturally ventilated polyhouseduring the off season 2017 at the Research farm, CSK Himachal Pradesh Krishi Vishvavidyalaya, Palampur. The treatment comprised of three planting dates, two spacing and three training system were evaluated in factorial randomized block design (FRBD) with three replications. Among the dates of transplanting, 2nd fortnight of March proved significantly superior to 1stfortnight of March and 1st fortnight of April with respect of vine length (174.2 cm), days to initiation of first female flower (13.5), days to 50% flowering (26.3 days), number of days to first picking (34.6 days). The crop transplanted in first fortnight of March produced the plant with significantly smaller internodal length (9.3 cm) and prolonged harvest duration (59.3 days). Plants grown at wider spacing of 75 cm x 30 cm resulted in significantly smaller internodal length (9.4 cm) and took lesser number of days for initiation of first female flower (14.1 days), days to 50% flowering (28.5 days), days to first picking (36.4 days) and harvest duration (53.9 days) whereas narrow spacing of 60 cm x 30 cm produced significantly higher vine length (171.5 cm) regards to the number of shoots per plants, plants trained to two shoots produced significantly smaller internodal length (9.0 cm), took lesser number of days to 50% flowering (26.6 days), number of days to first picking (36.3 days) while significantly higher vine length (172.1 cm) and prolonged harvest duration (58.8 days) was also recorded with two shoots. In case of fruit yield plants with three shoots, spaced at 60 cm x 30 cm in the 1st fortnight of March recorded significantly higher fruit yield. Interaction effect was found significant for vine length, number of days to first picking and harvest duration.

“…These plants can be grown for an extended period of time and produce numerous fruit trusses [79]. Seed production of determinate or semi-determinate cultivars is less prevalent and is not favoured in greenhouse settings [32]. Training and pruning are an integral part of the greenhouse tomato production [36].…”

India ranks as the second-largest global vegetable producer, yet its current productivity falls short of meeting the nutritional requirements of its expanding population. The country boasts an impressive array of vegetable varieties, spanning from tropical to subtropical and temperate regions. The adoption of protected cultivation for high-value crops has emerged as a pivotal technology to enhance productivity, elevate quality, and secure profitable returns. Optimal production quality can be ensured by implementing precise crop management techniques under controlled conditions, enabling the cultivation of two to three high-yield crops annually. Crop regulation planning entails the identification, selection, implementation, and monitoring of strategies to govern the yield and quality of vegetable crops. The timing of flowering can be strategically manipulated, either advanced or delayed, in response to market demand, leveraging a range of tools and techniques for flowering and fruit regulation. In pursuit of sustainability, it becomes imperative to maximize food production within limited areas. Employing flowering and fruiting regulation methods holds the promise of augmenting yields and, consequently, overall productivity, ultimately addressing the nutritional needs of a larger segment of the population.

“…Blue colour polyfilm sheets reduced the yield of cucumber in all stages of the crop as compare with white colour polyfilm. Generally, blue polyethylene has an additional UV-blocking character, restrict higher wavelength light that negatively influenced the yield [10]. The low yield probably occurs under low radiation levels [35].…”

“…Among the plastic sheets, now-a-days, more attention is given to different kinds of polyethylene films because they have low cost and can be manufactured in a wide range of thickness, width, colour and quality [7][8][9]. Many scientists hypothesized that the photosynthetic rate of plants would generally follow the intercepted light of the primary photosynthetic pigments [10,11].…”

The experiment was conducted at Agricultural Engineering College & Research Institute, Kumulur, (TNAU), Tamil Nadu with the objectives to test the performance of different cladding (blue and white colour polyethylene) and plastic mulches (silver on black colour) on the growth and yield of cucumber (Cucumis sativus L., Fadia F1, hybrid) to find the suitable cultivation practices for obtaining higher yields in semi-arid regions. The observations of micro climatic parameters such as temperature, relative humidity, solar radiation, light intensity and soil temperature were recorded in each polyhouse and at control (open cultivation). The plant growth parameters like plant height, number of leaves per plant, number of branches, date of first flowering, number of fruits, individual fruit weight and leaf- area were recorded among all the treatments. Among the blue and white polyhouse conditions, favourable solar incidental radiation and light intensity was observed in the white polyhouse as compared to blue polyhouse. Among the plastic mulch and without mulch treatments, the plastic mulch showed negative results under polyhouse cultivation where as positive results on growth and yield parameters at open condition (control). Significant differences were found among the treatments combinations of white poly house condition without mulch treatment on higher fruit size, fruit weight, number of fruits per plant, number of leaves per plant, leaf area and higher yield might be due to higher photosynthetic active radiation than blue polyhouse. The microclimatic condition recorded in blue polyhouse found to be detrimental to the pathogens under certain wave lengths and resulted in lower incidences of pest and diseases but not supported for higher yield due to low light intensity compared to white polyhouse. White polythene film as cladding material for construction of poly house and without mulching is important to achieve higher growth and yield of Cucumber under semi-arid regions.
