Determination of the Effect of Different Irrigation Regimes on Some Quality Properties of Cucumber

This study aimed to examine the effects of varying levels deficit irrigation applied through partial root drying (PRD) and conventional on some parameters cucumber plant such as fresh dried biomass, stem diameter, number leaf, fruit length, weight, water soluble dry matter (WSDM). Seven treatments (DI75, APRD75, FPRD75, DI50, APRD50, FPRD50) were examined together with control treatment (FULL). The DI75, APRD75 FPRD75 are 25% less than FULL treatment. APRD50 FPRD50 is 50% DI75 DI50 traditional applications in which both sides zone wetted. In treatments, one half wetted other left wet/dry parts switched each application. for a fixed period during entire season. It has been revealed that affect amount biomass result application techniques when compared However, it found weight WSDM not affected. When results obtained research evaluated; observed (DI, APRD, FPRD) have significant effect development yield same given. As constraint increases, decrease. decrease same. Research aiming save increasingly important, especially arid semi-arid regions where scarce expensive. this regard, fact remains smaller rate can be seen an advantage PRD treatments.
