Per se performance of monoecious cucumber land races

Abstract

to assess the performance of 39 monoecious cucumber land races. Number of primary branches were more in the local type Vennamuthupatti local (7.33) and the number of male flowers per plant was minimum in Amaravathi local (38.33). The maximum number of female flowers per plant was recorded in Periyakullappatti local (33.67). Number of fruits per plant was highest in Sankagiri local(11.20). Fruit length ranged from 12.62cm (Musiri local) to 54.83cm (Amaravati local). The fruit girth was lowest in Upilipalayam local (13.2 cm) which produced a slender fruit. Musiri local recorded a high fruit weight (1.65 kg). The maximum yield of 14.77kg/ plant was registered in Sathur local.

Mean performance of gynoecious cucumber hybrids in sub-tropical climate of eastern India

“…Characters with higher yield contribute directly to the ultimate yield and so get paid more. In analysing cucumber germplasm, Praneetha et al (2020), Veena et al (2012), and Ranjan et al (2015 found that yield attributing characteristics contributed to an increase in overall yield.…”
