Cucumber, BD 500, BD 501, Dashparni, Silica, BiodynamicAbstract
The study revealed that various treatment combinations of biodynamic, silica and Dashparni imparted significant effects on growth, yield and quality parameters of cucumber grown under protected cultivation. Out of various treatments and treatment combinations, treatment T10 (BD 500 @75g/ha + BD 501 @2.5g/ha+ Silica @1% + Dashparni @10%) was found superior for most of parameters studied i.e. vine length at 30 DAS (m), 60 DAS (m), final harvest (m), leaf area (cm²), days to first anthesis, days to first harvest, fruit weight (g), fruit volume (cc), fruit length (cm), fruit diameter (cm), number of branches, yield per vine (kg), yield per square meter (kg),and yield per acre (t),whereas least performing treatment was T1 (control).
