Influences of agroclimatic indices on fruit yield of cucumber.

摘要

Field trials conducted during kharif 2001, 2002 and 2003, in Maharashtra, India, showed that early sowing of cucumber immediately after the onset of monsoon (24th SMW) produced significantly highest fruit yield (10.36 t ha-1) over the late sowings carried out after one, two and three weeks of monsoon onset. Cucumber required about 1562 ODD, 133 861 hydrothermal units and 4198 heliothermal units for obtaining higher yield. The highest HUE (6.63 kg ha-1 degrees C day-1) recorded for sowing in 24th SMW.
