Year: 2019
Type: article
Abstract: A field investigation was conducted to study the effect of shade net house on yield and yield attributes of parthenocarpic cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) hybrids at vegetable research block, Department of Vegetable Science, College of Horticulture, Kolar during 2017-2018. The results indicated a significant difference in all the yield and yield attributing parameters studied. Among the hybrids, Defence recorded maximum fruit length (22.00 cm). Maximum flesh thickness (1.57 cm) and highest fruit diameter (4.22 cm) was found in the hybrid Sargon followed by Menfis (3.92 cm). The hybrid Alexios are better expressed their superiority over other hybrids in terms of average fruit weight (221.60 g), higher fruit yield per vine (7.70 kg), fruit yield per meter square (21.33 kg/m2) and fruit yield per hectare (220.06 t).
