Improvement of cultivation techniques and increasing soil fertility through the use of fertilizersneed to be considered to produce maximum cucumber plant growth and production. Theresearch was aimed to examine the response of the growth and production of cucumber plantsthat cultivated using various types of mulch and different doses of goat manure. The researchwas conducted on March - June 2019 at the Merbuh Village, Singorojo sub-district, Kendaldistrict of Central Java Province. A block randomized design factorial pattern 3 x 4 with threereplications was used throughout the experiment. The first factor consisted of treatment withoutmulch (M0), rice straw mulch (M1) and black silver plastic mulch (M2). The second factorconsisted of 4 levels of Nitrogen doses including P0 = Nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium(NPK) recommendation for cucumber plant 160 kg N/ha; P1 = 177 kg N/ha; P2 = 354 kg N/ha;P3 = 531 kg N/ha respectively equal to 0, 10, 20, and 30 tons of manure/ha. The data obtainedwere analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA), and a further test was carried out on theparameters that showed a significant difference in the mean values of the treatment using theDuncan test. The results showed that the treatment of silver black plastic mulch increased thegrowth and production of cucumber plants. The treatment of goat manure at a dose of 10tons/ha had been able to increase all parameters and goat manure with a dose of 30 tons/hagave high results on all parameters of cucumber plants compared to that of the control. Thetreatment of black silver plastic mulch with a goat manure dose of 30 tons/ha gave high resultsin the number of fruit parameters.

Abstract Industrial hemp is currently being investigated as a potential new crop in the U.S. with the 2014 and 2018 Farm Bills passage. Hemp seeds are utilized to produce hemp oil and result in Hempseed Meal (HSM) production, rich in crude protein and fiber, making it an ideal candidate as a feedstuff for ruminant animals. This study evaluated the effects of feeding different levels of HSM on the carcass traits and meat quality of crossbred Boer goats. Forty castrated male goat kids with an initial average body weight of 25.63±.33 kg and approximately six months of age and kg were assigned to one of four treatments (n = 10) in a completely randomized design. Goats were fed pelleted diets (50% forage and 50% concentrate). Treatments consisted of different levels of HSM: control with 0%, 10%, 20%, and 30% HSM supplementation of the total diets. The goats were harvested, and carcasses were processed at the Lambert-Powell Meat Laboratory at Auburn University after a 60-d feeding trial. Data were analyzed using the GLIMMIX procedures of SAS 9.4 (SAS Inst. Inc., Cary, NC). There were no significant differences (P > 0.05) on the mean values of dressing percentages (46.59, 45.42, 45.77, and 46.16% for 0, 10, 20 and 30% HSM, respectively) and ribeye area (3.68, 3.4, 3.47, 3.39 inches, respectively). The percentage of moisture, fats, proteins, and collagen in the muscles showed no significant difference (P > 0.05) between the different levels of HSM-containing diets. The marbling scores (376, 399, 355, 364 respectively) were also not significantly different (P > 0.05) among the treatments and are representative of marbling scores indicative of “slight.” Results suggest that producers can include up to 30% of HSM in the diets of growing meat goats without creating a detrimental effect on carcass traits.

A salinidade provocada pelo mau uso da fertirrigação pode causar muitos danos às plantas e consequentemente à produção. Este trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar os frutos da cultura do pepino, em relação aos parâmetros pH, sólidos solúveis totais (%), acidez total titulável (g 100g-1 de amostra) e firmeza de polpa (kgf), cultivada em meio salino. Os tratamentos foram compostos pelos seguintes fatores: dois tipos de manejo de fertirrigação (M1 e M2) e seis níveis iniciais de salinidade do solo (S1=1,5; S2=2,5; S3=3,5; S4=4,5; S5=5,5 e S6=6,5 dS m-1). O experimento foi conduzido na área experimental do Departamento de Engenharia Rural da ESALQ/USP, Piracicaba/SP. O plantio foi realizado em vasos, utilizando solo arenoso e irrigação por gotejamento. A salinização foi obtida com soluções oriundas dos próprios fertilizantes. Como principais resultados, tem-se que o tipo de manejo da fertirrigação adotado interfere menos que os níveis de salinidade do solo em relação às características físico-químicas dos frutos, porém houve diferença significativa para o parâmetro acidez total titulável em seus valores médios tanto no tipo de manejo de fertirrigação adotado, como nos níveis de salinidade do solo.   UNITERMOS: fertilizantes químicos, condutividade elétrica, Cucumis sativus L.     MEDEIROS, P.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the cucumber fruits in relation to parameter Ph, total soluble solids (%), total acidity (g 100g-1 sample), and pulp firmness (kgf) cultivated in saline environment. The treatments were: two fertigation management types (M1 and M2) and six initial levels of soil salinity (S1=1.5; S2=2.5; S3=3.5; S4=4.5; S5=5.5 and S6=6.5 dS m-1). The experiment was conducted at the Rural Engineering Department of ESALQ/USP in Piracicaba/SP, Brazil experimental area. The grove was planted in pots using sandy soil and drip irrigation. The salinity was obtained with solutions derived from the actual fertilizer. The main results showed that the type of fertigation management adopted interfered less than the soil salinity levels regarding the fruits physicochemical characteristics; however, there was a significant difference for the parameter total acidity mean values in the fertigation type adopted as well as in the soil salinity levels.   KEYWORDS: chemical fertilizers, electric conductivity, Cucumis sativus L.

Stage 1

The experiment was carried out from 16th December 2016 to May 10, 2017, in the horticulture farm of Nepal Polytechnic Institute Bharatpur-11. Cucumbers were planted under plastic house conditions (23.90 ± 3.55 ?C temp. and 59.15 ± 10.33% RH). Parthenocarpic cucumber variety Poyraz F1 was selected for the research. Fruits are harvested at four different maturity stages (Maturity stage 1, 2, 3, and 4) were treatments i.e. M1 – Immature stage 1 (harvesting of fruits after 2 weeks of fruit set), M2 – Immature stage 2 (harvesting of fruit after 3 weeks of fruit set), M3 – Mature stage (harvesting fruits after 4 weeks of fruit set) and M4 – Over-mature stage (harvesting fruits after 5 weeks of fruit set). Each treatment was replicated 5 times with 5 plants in each experimental unit and these experimental units were arranged in a completely randomized design. There was a significant difference among the selected treatments in the number of flowers per plant at 30, 45 & 60 DAT, the number of internodes per plant at 45 & 60 DAT, numbers of fruits per plant at 30, 45 & 60 DAT and number of harvest per plant. The total yield per plant was observed as not significant. Highest no. of flowers (6.88, 15.52 and 5.83 at 30, 45, and 60 DAT), nodes (5.44, 6.76, 10.53 and 15.53 at 15, 30, 45 and 60 DAT) and fruits (1.4, 5.6, 15 and 25.2 at 15, 30, 45 and 60 DAT) per plant were recorded in the plant in which fruits were harvested at immature stage 1 (harvesting fruits at 2 weeks of fruit set) whereas their values were minimum in the plants in which fruits were harvested at over-mature stage (harvesting fruits at 5 weeks of fruit set). A maximum number of harvests (6.40) were recorded in the plants in which fruits were harvested at an earlier maturity stage. Yield per plant did not vary significantly. Hence, it would be better to harvest cucumbers at an immature stage as the fruit harvested at an earlier stage of maturity had more number of harvests and the producer could enjoy the diffe
