Özet:

 


This
study was carried out to determine the growth and yield performance of cucumber
to deficit irrigation. The research was carried out
in a screen house on the Teaching and Research Farm of Agricultural
Engineering Department, Federal University of Technology, Akure, Nigeria. The
experiment was a complete block design which comprised of four treatments and
four replicates. The treatments were: T1, T2, T3 and T4 irrigated at 100 % ET,
80 % ET, 60 % ET and 40 % ET respectively using drip irrigation. Soil and agronomic parameters were determined and results
were subjected to statistical analysis. The result showed that T1 (100 %) had
the highest plant height and the highest number of leaves of 107 cm and 15
respectively, T2 (80 %) produced the highest cucumber fruit yield of
1059.3 kg/ha with average length and average diameter of 18.33 cm and 5.87 cm
respectively while T4 (40 %) produced the lowest yield of 85.2 kg/ha with an
average fruit length and diameter of 8.4 cm and 2.86 cm respectively. Thus,
with 80 % water application, cucumber can produce the highest fruit yield and
water use efficiency
