Effect of Different Levels of NPK Fertilizers on the Growth and Yield of Greenhouse Cucumber (Cucumis Sativus) By Using Drip Irrigation Technology

Abstract

The present research work was conducted to find out the cucumber response to water soluble NPK (20-20-20) compound fertilizer by using drip irrigation technology in available agro-ecological conditions of Western Region of Abu Dhabi – UAE. In this study different production scenarios were studied for the safe keeping of the greenhouse cucumbers. It is one of the most important summer vine vegetable crop, and been rated suitable for greenhouse cultivation in comparison with traditional agricultural practices. Due to such controlled atmospheric conditions in greenhouses the yield and quality of cucumbers maintained. Greenhouse is composed of a network of Galvanized pipes and plastic sheets.
