Abstract

Effect of modes of pollination on yield parameters of cucumber under polyhouse conditions when evaluated it was observed that fruit set under bee + hand pollinated (84.29%) condition was at par with bee pollinated (82.45%) or hand pollinated condition (79.99%), irrespective of hybrids. The fruit length under bee pollination (13.31cm) was at par with bee pollination + hand pollination (13.30cm) and significantly higher than hand pollination (13.19cm). Mean Fruit weight (135.25gm) observed under bee pollination + hand pollination, was at par with (134.91gm) under bee pollination and significantly higher than (132.83gm) under hand pollination. While mean fruit diameter under bee pollination and bee pollination + hand pollination was observed maximum (3.51cm), which was significantly higher than hand pollination (3.49cm). Hybrid Pusa Sanyog and Pant Sankar Khira recorded with maximum fruit set and fruit diameter, whereas hybrid Rani shows highest mean fruit weight and fruit length. While, minimum fruit set, fruit weight and fruit length were recorded on hybrid Sheetal and minimum fruit diameter was observed in Pusa Sanyog.
