Abstract

Varietal screening of cucumber in the Eastern Terai of Nepal by using nine different varieties of cucumber i.e., F1-leader, Malini, Kangana, NS-404, Kamini, F1-solar, Encounter-962, Syngeta glossy and Bhaktapur local was conducted in Sundarharaicha, Morang during the month of February to June (2020) to find the best yielding variety. The experimental setup was designed on randomized complete block design having three replications and nine treatments. There was a significant difference among the varieties in terms of yield. NS-404 gave the highest yield (5468.66gm/harvest), highest number of harvest (8.80 harvests) and highest number of fruits/harvest (14.53 fruits/harvest). Encounter-962 gave the lowest yield (2689.73 gm/harvest). This study showed NS-404 as high yield variety and should be recommended in Sundarharaicha, Morang.
