Download PDFIn the present experiment an attempt has been made to study the comparative economics ofcucumber, Hyb. (Malini F1) cultivation in open field and protected condition. An experiment was conducted at the Precision Farming Development Center Department of Horticulture, University of Agricultural Sciences GKVK, Bangalore during (2017-18) under open field and protected conditions, to study the effect of different combined doses of GA3 and NAA with pruning levels on comparative economics of cucumber cultivation under open field and protected conditions. The overall findings of the study reveal that the cost of cultivation of cucumber under greenhouse washigher by ₹1389449/hectare as compared to open field conditions. At the same time, the net returns under greenhouse were higher by ₹6672151/hectare. Cultivating cucumber in greenhouse condition results in higher crop production as wellas productivity; fetches better market price and can be cultivated in off-season as compared to open field condition. Since, three cropping seasons of cucumber can be successfully taken; requirement of plant growth regulators and fertilizers ultimately goes high which can't be considered as a big constraint. rolex replica
