Evaluation of Seed Yield of Pickling and Slicing Cucumbers in the Field Affected by Year and Plant Density

Cucurbit Genetics Cooperative Report 14:12-14 (article 5) 1991 P. Milotay and S.A. Hodosy Vegetable Crops Research Institute, 6000 Kecskemet, Hungary Experimental lines of cucumber are generally propagated in glasshouses, plastic houses or in net-covered cages. These circumstances rarely provide appropriate estimates of seed yield under field conditions. During seed production of pickling and slicing cucumbers […]
