| Abstract | ||
| This experiment was conducted in the greenhouse of Horticulture Dept. and Landscape Design- College of Agriculture, University of Tikrit. The experiment included two factors ,The first was four hybrids of cucumber (Ban , Ameer , Nafeer and Silion) symboled (V1 , V2 ,V3 and V4) ,The second was three defoliation (without defoliation , defoliation at 6 leaves and defoliation at 12 leaves) symboled (T1 , T2 and T3) analyzed in using split plot design , in (R.C.B.D) with factorial treatment with three replicates . tested by L.S.D in level 5%to study hybrid and defoliation effect on some growth and yield characters of cucumber cultivated in non-heated plastic house. The result showed superiority of hybrid Nafeer (V3) in dry weight percentage in vegetable growth and long & diameter of fruit , and the treatment defoliation at 6 leaves (T2)had superiority in diameter of fruit compared with other treatments . In the interaction between the hybrids and the defoliations the treatment (V3T1)gave highest long of stem and long of fruit .The treatment (V3T2 ) gave highest diameter of fruit. The treatment (V4T3 )gave highest number of nodes / stem , and the treatment (V2T1 ) gave highest percentage of dry weight in vegetable growth . | ||
