The Effect of Branch Pruning and Mycorrhiza on Production and Seed Quality of Cucumis sativus L. The purpose of this study was to obtain the best branch pruning, with or without mycorrhiza application, in order to increase the production and quality of cucumber seeds. Pruning the branch at the beginning of cucumber growth is expected to delay fruit formation and support good vegetative growth. This research was carried out in the PT. Primasid Andalan Utama seed production area in Kalibeji Village, Tuntang District, Semarang Regency, Seed Technology Laboratory and Plant Physiology Laboratory, Faculty of Agriculture and Business, Satya Wacana Christian University. This study was conducted by the split-plot randomized complete block design with 2 factors. The main plot consists of 2 levels, namely control/without mycorrhiza (M0) and mycorrhiza application (M1). Pruning the branches as the subplots consist of 4 levels, were pruning to the second, third, fourth and fifth branches of the cucumber plant (P1, P2, P3 and P4). DMRT was used to differentiate the significance of the treatment. The results showed that mycorrhiza application increased the percentage of root infections. The pruning to the fifth branch (P4) is the best; in control without mycorrhiza (M0P4) increased for the number of fruits, the seed weight per plant, and the germination simultaneously; whereas in mycorrhiza application (M1P4) increased the number of fruits and the seed weight per plant.  It is also observed that the pruning to the second branch (P1) increased the weight of 1000 grains, the speed of germination and the simultaneous of germination; both with and without mycorrhiza application.

Downy Mildew Disease

Downy mildew (Pseudoperonospora cubensis) is one of the most important disease of cucumber under open field conditions. Hence, the experiment was conducted to study the efficacy of fungicides in management of downy mildew disease of cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) under open field in Chauradi-7 Dhading during spring season, 2019. Bhaktapur local variety of cucumber was used for the study. The experiment was laid out in single factor randomized complete block design with four replications. Three different bio-fungicides; Trichoderma viride + Trichoderma harzianum, Bacillus subtilis, Verticillium lecanii and one chemical fungicide; Krilaxyl (metalaxyl 8% + mancozeb 64%) were used as treatments. Normal water spray served as control. It was observed that bio-fungicides had insignificant effect in controlling the downy mildew. Pathological observation such as disease incidence percentage, severity percentage and AUDPC in bio-fungicides treated plots were not significantly different from water-sprayed control plots. Similarly, biometric attributes such as number of fruit, length and diameter of fruit, weight of fruit were also non-significant. Krilaxyl resulted significant effect in controlling downy mildew, providing maximum disease reduction (37.48%-50.72%) with lowest disease incidence (1.25-61.25%) and lowest value of AUDPC (138.7). Krilaxyl treated plots had higher number of fruit (6), longer length of fruit (17.15-18.95), higher diameter of fruit (4.16- 4.45 cm) and higher weight of fruit (677 - 759 g). Hence, chemical fungicide Krilaxyl was found better for the management of downy mildew disease in open field cucumber cultivation. Further, researches on bio-fungicides, especially of native strains are required for best result.

Three American cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) hybrids namely Lot Number (EM 285), labeled number 1, Hybrid super Green F1, labeled number 2 and Hybrid Top CAEEN F1, labeled number 3 were studied. Seeds of these hybrids were exposed to four frequencies of electric current (0, 1, 2, 2.5 ) amber(Am.) for 5 minutes and four periods of exposure for ultra-violate rays (UV) at 224 nanometer (nm) for (0,30,60 and 90) second. The treated seeds were sown on 2010 in open field that prepared and fertilized. The effect of electronic current Am and UV on the production of these hybrids was studied. Flowers number/ plant were recorded after 35 days of sowing; length, radius and weight of fruit were recorded after 46 days of sowing. Results showed significant differences between the hybrids in the studied parameters. Hybrid 3 showed a significant increase compared with hybrids 1 and 2 since it gave the highest number of flowers (19.97 flowers. Plant-1), tallest fruit length and radius of fruit (14.09 and 7.93 cm.fruit-1 respectively) and highest fruit weight 46.97 gm.fruit-1. While hybrid 2 gave 16.72 flower.plant-1, 10.35 cm.fruit-1, 5.72.fruit-1 cm (length and radius of fruit respectively ) and 30.2 g.fruit-1.The results also indicated a significant interaction between electric current and UV in all studied parameters. The 2 Am frequency and 60 sec of UV exposure gave highest flowers number (24.09 flower. plant-1) with an increase 85.16% compared with 2.5 Am frequency and 90 sec. of UV exposure. The results also showed a significant interaction between hybrids, electric current and UV. Hybrid 3 treated with 2 Am and 60 sec exposure gave highest fruit weight 86.33gm.fruit-1 with a significant increase for all tri- interactions.

Cucumber crop was evaluated for the influence of seedling age on its production during two consecutive years of 2011 and 2012 on experimental area of National Agricultural Research Center (NARC), Islamabad, Pakistan. Nursery of cucumber was raised in polythene tubes under protected structures (walk-in tunnels). Seedling transplantation of three different ages viz., 30, 45 and 60 days were compared with direct seeding in the open field. Seedling transplantation produced fruits earlier (22 days), increased availability period (41 days) as compared to direct seeded crop. Transplantation of 45 and 60 days old seedlings produced higher fruits yield of cucumber with higher gross return and gross margin. The results revealed that transplantation of 45 to 60 days old seedlings was suitable for achieving fruits earlier and profitable cucumber production technology.SAARC J. Agri., 13(2): 214-221 (2015)
