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.
