Revolutionizing cucumber farming: Integrated nutrient management boosts growth and yield.
The study looked at how different nutrient combinations affected the growth, flowering, and yield of cucumber plants. They tested ten treatments and found that using 75% RDF + 12.5% FYM + 12.5% VC per hectare resulted in the best outcomes. This treatment led to longer vines, more leaves, earlier flowering, higher fruit yield, and better quality fruits compared to the control group. It also gave the highest net return and cost benefit ratio. Overall, this nutrient management approach improved the overall performance of cucumber plants, leading to better growth and higher yields.
