Abstract
The main objective of this research was to study the effect of shading and cycocel on cucumber plants. Experiments were carried out on cucumber plants (Amira I1 cultivar) at the experimental farm of Kafr El-Sheikh Faculty of Agriculture during the late summer seasons of 1988 and 1989. The shade levels included 25%, 40% and PLSCL+30+50 shade beside the unshaded control. The cycocel levels were 500, 1000 and 1500 ppm, beside the control (water spray). A split-plot design with four replicates was used. Shade levels were allotted to the main plots while the levels of CCC were tried at the sub-plots. The area of the sub-plot was 10.50 2 m . Sowing date was May 25th in both seasons. Planting was done in double rows (100+50x30 cm).The shade blinds were fixed on solid iron framed tunnels (8 rn wide and 3.2 rn high) on loth June in both seasons. Cucumber seedlings were sprayed with CCC levels to the run off at the age of 2-3 leaf stage. Data were tested by analysis of variance. Duncan’s multiple range test was used for comparisons among the treatment’s means.
