“…The correlation analysis suggests that among various yield attributing traits, cucumber fruit yield was highly associated with mean fruit weight (Table 3). Panghal et al (2016) reported that maximum fruit number/vine was as a result of profuse female flowering throughout the vegetative growth. However, high fruit number per vine in Ekron was not related to high flower numbers, rather it was probably as a result of high flower to fruit set and average fruit weight.…”

“…Cucumber is a predominant greenhouse crop which can be grown throughout the year, especially during offseason under protected condition that fetches higher price in very short span (Panghal et al 2016). There is a constant demand throughout the year for cucumber, especially the smooth skinned seedless fruit because of its popular use in salad dish, sandwich, pizza and other preparations (Bisht et al, 2011).…”

Evaluation of gynoecious cucumber (Cucumis sativus) hybrids for early-summer greenhouse production in western Indian arid plains

A great stride is witnessed in area expansion under protected cultivation, particularly in arid-western parts of India, where cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) is a predominant greenhouse crop. The early-summer crop of cucumber is highly remunerative owing to high prevailing market price. In current study, efforts were made to select suitable greenhouse cucumber hybrids for early season harvest under western Indian arid plains. Growth, yield and commercial quality traits of seven commercial gynoecious and parthenocarpic (seedless) cucumber hybrids were studied under greenhouse condition during 2015-16. Among the hybrids evaluated for early summer greenhouse production, Terminator was more precocious for fruit harvest (36 days after transplanting) followed by Rica and Dinamik. The per plant fruit yield was highest in Ekron (5.3 kg) followed by Terminator (4.2 kg). The vine length, leaf size and leaf dry weight were also found to be highest in Ekron, followed by Terminator. The fruit appearance, taste and texture, and overall consumerâ€™s acceptability were also determined, which were found better in Rica, Terminator and Dinamik. Despite exhibiting highest production related traits, Ekron measured least score for sensory parameters, especially the fruit appearance due to presence of rudimentary spines on skin, and also the taste. Fruit pericarp thickness and dry matter content were significantly higher in Ekron but the values were at par with that recorded for Terminator and a few other hybrids. The character association analysis reveals that per plant fruit yield had significant positive correlation with vine length, leaf size, foliar (stem+leaf) dry mass and mean fruit weight. Based on targeted characters for earliness, fruit yield and commercial quality of evaluated hybrids, it is concluded that Terminator followed by Rica were highly suitable for early summer production under protected condition in western arid plains of India.

A rapid and sensitive analytical method based on high-performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry was developed and validated for the determination of isopyrazam (IZM) and azoxystrobin (AZT) in cucumbers. A modified QuEChERS (quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged, and safe) method was used as the pretreatment procedure. The samples were extracted with acetonitrile and cleaned up with octadecylsilyl silica (C18) and graphite carbon black. The proposed method resulted in satisfactory recovery of IZM and AZT (91.48 to 114.62%), and relative standard deviations were less than 13.1% at fortification concentrations of 1, 20, and 500 μg kg−1 (n = 3). The limits of quantification for IZM and AZT were 0.498 and 0.499 μg kg−1, respectively, which are far below the maximum residue level (0.5 mg kg−1) established for this type of sample. Matrix effects were also evaluated. This study established a sensitive and fast method for the detection of IZM and AZT in cucumber samples.
