Cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) double-cropped with tomato (Lycoperscum esculentum Mill.) and staked with the double-cropping system needed less than half the man-hours to stake than the standard system. Tomato rods and tomato plants were not removed which could result in further cost reduction. Glyphosate [N-(phosphonomethly) glycine] was used to kill all the vegetation at a cost of $45-$50/acre. Double-cropped cucumber produced comparable yields of high quality fruits to cucumber staked by the standard system. The standard system produced more No. 2 fruits resulting in more marketable yield. The 2 systems produced an equal percentage of culls or rots. In-row spacing of 22.5 or 30 cm appeared to be the best choice when cucumber was staked by the double-cropping system. The side of the row where cucumber was planted did not affect the yield significantly. However, planting cucumber on both sides gave the highest yield. It appears that there was enough residual fertilizer left over after tomatoes to produce the cucumber crop.

The fruit are considered seedless, but an occasional fruit will have one to two seed per fruit for every 10 fruit sampled. Leaves are large (8 to 10 cm long and 2.5 to 5.0 cm wide), lan
Scaffold branch irrigation significantly enhanced tree survival and decreased the percentage of canopy that was killed on young Washington navel orange (Citrus sinensis) and Owari satsuma (Citrus unshiu) trees subjected to — 8.9°C during a 1985 freeze. Scaffold branch irrigation has shown considerable potential as a method of freeze protection for Louisiana citrus producers.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
