Abstract

Important elements of crop growing technology are rational layout and density of plants that determine the character of crop placement, their feed area, the level of manufacturability during the care of crops and during harvest. In article the results of research on the influence of crop density on the productivity of a cucumber hybrid in the conditions of the Left-bank Forest-Steppe of Ukraine, the research was conducted for two years.

The task of study: to demonstrate the results of practical research of the impact of different crop density on growth, development and yield of cucumber Kybria F1 hybrid, to draw conclusions and to put forward suggestions about the optimal crop density based on conducted research.

The indices of plants' parameters indicate that data received during the mass flowering phase and mass fruiting phase of cucumber differs. According to the results of the research, biometric indices of cucumber crops during mass flowering phase differ considerably depending on crop density. The indices of plant mass, central stem length and the number of side shoots are leveled during the mass fruiting phase. 3 plants per sq m appeared to be the optimal density under the condition of growing cucumber during spring and winter crop rotation with unchanging used soil in film hothouse.
