Effect of differences in substrate formulations on cucumber growth under soilless bag culture in greenhouse

Influence of Drip Irrigation Levels and Soilless Media on the Growth, Productivity and Economics of Greenhouse Grown Tomato

“…Mixed substrates of cocopeat + perlite + vermiculite at 50:25:25 recorded (Table 2) significantly higher yield (100.90 t ha -1 ) over other substrates. Similar findings were obtained by He et al, (2003), Joseph and Muthuchamy (2014). The increase in yield under cocopeat + perlite + vermiculite at 50:25:25 might be due to an increase in yield attributes like fruit weight (43.3 g) and per cent fruit set (89.3 %).…”

Productivity Enhancement of Cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) through Optimized Use of Poultry Manure and Mineral Fertilizers under Greenhouse Cultivation

“…Findings of the current study, which was executed to examine the effects of different fertilizer treatments as compared to conventional application of fertilizers under soilless culture, have demonstrated that application of PM combined with MF had a significant effect on the cucumber production by the increase in yield and vegetative growth [50]. It is also evident that we can benefit from poultry manure application, especially improvement in fruit quality resulting from nutrient uptake, increasing organic matter content, and enhancing the activity of microorganisms [51][52][53][54].…”
