“…It was obvious that increasing yield potential was achieved at the expense of number of fruits per plant rather than average fruit weight. These results are in accordance with those obtained by (Rubeiz, 1990;Choudhari & More, 2002;Jilani et al, 2009) they found that increasing NPK levels have an important role in enhancing the vegetative growth of cucumber plant. Rehamn et al (1995) and Jilani et al (2009) who found that NPK at rate 140-60-150 kg/ ha showed better results for more fruits per vine, maximum fruit weight, vine length and total yield.…”

Two greenhouse experiments were conducted at Agricultural Research Station, Hada-Alsham, King Abdulaziz University, Saudi Arabia. To study the effects of the four NPK fertigation rates (50%, 75%, 100% and 125% of recommended; 220, 150, 150kg N, P 2 O 5 , K 2 O /ha, respectively) and three starter fertilizers (SF); SF 0 (control), SF 2 : 7-14-7 and SF 3 : 7-28-7 kg N-P 2 O 5 , K 2 O /ha, on the growth, yield, and minerals contents of cucumber plants, cv. Alrased 92 F 1 . The results indicated that application of NPK fertigation up rate 125% of recommended, achieved significant increases in the plant height and number of leaves at (30, 50 and 70 DAS), number of branches at 30 DAS only, as well as leaf minerals (N, P and K) contents, fruit setting percentage, fruit weight, number of fruits and fruits yield. Cucumber plants receiving starter fertilizers achieved an increase in the plant height, number of leaves and branches, especially at early growth stages (30 and 50 DAS). Likewise, SF 2 (7-28-7 kg N-P 2 O 5 -K 2 O/ha) recorded significant maximum increment in the all tested fruit yield characters. Moreover, soil application of SF 2 was accompanied by significantly reduction in fruit setting percentage. The interaction effect between NPK fertigation rate and starter fertilizer showed that NPK fertigation rate of 125% + SF had the highest mean values of plant height at all growth stages and number of leaf and branches at 30 DAS. Application of SF 1 or SF 2 combined with 125% of recommended NPK resulted in the highest significant mean values for the fruit setting % and number fruits per plant, fruit yield and leaf's P and K contents.

“…Drip fertigation of cucumber adequately sustain favourable vegetative and reproductive growth as compare to conventional method of fertilizer application. These results are in accordance with the findings of Al-Jaloud et al, (1999) and Choudhari and More (2002) in gynoecious cucumber hybrids.…”

“…Different researchers (Hasandokht and Nosrati, 2010;Orzolek, 2004) also stated that vegetables cultivated from older seedlings produced higher yields. These results are also in contrast with the outcomes of Choudhari and More (2001). Though, according to Liptay (1987), the yields from the seedlings of different ages are same, in spite of the same yield from younger seedlings of cucumber.…”

Abstract:Field experiments were conducted to determine the growth and yield of bitter gourd in response to seedling age during the years 2011 and 2012. Minimum days to 1st picking, maximum availability period, yield and net profit were observed in 40 days old seedlings and 100% survival rate was observed in all three (40, 50 and 60 days) ages of seedlings. Seedlings of varying ages did not fluctuate greatly in yield and yield components in the field, although, all seedlings had higher early yields than the directly seeded controls. Maximum gross margin (US $1777.7 haG 1 ) was achieved in 40 days old seedling as compared to direct seeded crop (US $337.5 haG 1 ). Results from these experiments suggest that 40 days may be reasonable target age for transplanting bitter gourd seedlings.
