Influence of plant spacing, cultivar selection, and fertilizer levels on growth and yield of parthenocarpic cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.)

Bhoopendra Singh, Chanchila Kumari, AK Rai, Manish Kumar and Vinay Kumar

The study was conducted during 2017-2019 at the Vegetable Research Farm, SHUATS, Prayagraj, with three replications. It included 27 treatment combinations of three cucumber cultivars (Pant Parthenocarpic Cucumber-2, Pant Parthenocarpic Cucumber-3, and Hilton), three plant spacings (60×30, 60×40, 60×50 cm), and three NPK doses (20:10:22, 25:15:27, 30:20:32 kg/1000 m²), applied twice weekly. Results showed that all treatments significantly affected growth and yield. Pant Parthenocarpic Cucumber-3 exhibited superior vegetative growth, early flowering and fruiting, and highest yield per vine (2.82 kg). Wider spacing (60×50 cm) improved growth and yield per plant, while closer spacing (60×30 cm) produced higher yield per square meter. Maximum NPK dose (D3) gave the highest number of fruits, fruit weight, and overall yield.It is recommended to grow Pant Parthenocarpic Cucumber-3 at 60×50 cm spacing with D3 fertilizer under polyhouse conditions for optimal yield and benefit-cost efficiency.
