| dc.description.abstract | The field investigation on standardisation of spacing for Zucchini (Cucurbita pepo L.) under polyhouse and open field conditions was undertaken at the Department of Horticulture, UAS, GKVK, Bengaluru. The highest plant height (91.4 cm), higher number of leaves plant⁻¹ (39.46), highest number of nodes plant⁻¹ (36.93), highest leaf area plant⁻¹ (568.53 cm2 ), highest number of male and female flowers plant⁻¹ (34 and 18 respectively), higher number of fruits plant⁻¹ (3.29), higher fruit weight plant⁻¹ (262.09 g), highest fruit yield plant⁻¹ (3.28 kg) and higher fruit TSS (4.51 ºBrix) was recorded significantly at 1.2 × 1.2 m spacing level under protected condition. Similarly, under open field condition, higher plant height (67.89 cm), highest number of leaves plant⁻¹ (25.33), highest number of nodes plant⁻¹ (22.33), highest leaf area plant⁻¹ (502.37 cm2), highest number of male and female flowers plant⁻¹ (20.66 and 17.00 respectively), higher number of fruits plant⁻¹ (2.54), higher fruit weight plant⁻¹ (253.09 g), highest fruit yield plant⁻¹ (2.13 kg) and higher fruit TSS (4.66 ºBrix) was noticed at 1.2 × 1.2 m spacing level. Similarly, the highest estimated fruit yield per hectare (56.84 t ha⁻¹) and higher net returns (Rs. 9,26,956 /-) was recorded at 1.2 × 1.2 m spacing level under protected condition. However higher cost benefit ratio (1:3.70) were recorded at 1.2 × 1.2 m spacing level in under open field condition. In general, better vegetative growth, higher yield, good quality of fruits and higher net returns were obtained from protected grown zucchini compared to open-field condition. | en_US |
