Abstract

The development of growing CUCUMBER in greenhouse needs to assess the accessible facilities in Iran. In different countries, various GROWING MEDIA are used in hydroponic systems. Hence, an experiment was conducted to find out the effect of GROWING MEDIA on the GROWTH and quality of CUCUMBER. Various GROWING MEDIA, perlite, vermiculite, rockwool and their mixture were used as treatments. Seeds of CUCUMBER (Cucunis sativus cv Sultan) were planted in HYDROPONICS system and irrigated with nutrient solution. The growing period was 2.5 month and fruits were harvested at two day intervals. The results showed that the highest YIELD (4.5 kg per plant) was observed for perlite and vermiculite mixture treatment. Leaf number and height of the plant for perlite and vermiculite mixture treatment was 4 leaves and 40 cm higher than that of the other treatments, respectively. Nitrate concentration in the fruits was 50-67 mg/kg which is not hazardous for human health. Increasing of YIELD and its components were associated with apropriate conditions of the treatment having mixture of perlite and vermiculite, which is able to provide enough water and air to the plant. It can be concluded that the mixture of perlite and vermiculite could be an optimal medium for HYDROPONICS system.
