Growth parameters were assessed at 4, 6 and 8 weeks after planting. Cucumber vine length was measured by using a flexible tape rule. Number of leaves was assessed by visual count of the green leaves. At every harvest the fruit girth was assessed by using a Vernier calliper, the fruit length was measured by using a flexible tape before the fruits were weighed using a 10 kg scale. The cumulative weights of the entire harvests (10 times) were summed up for data analysis using SAS version 17 software.
