~2.4 mins read

Cucumber is a creeping vine that

bears cylindrical fruits. It is

scLentLficall known as Cucumis sativus it belongs to the gourd family

cucubitacea. Other vegetables which belong to this family include

Melon, squash, Watermelon and Pumpkins [1]. It originated from the

Asia continent [2]. Cucumber plant can be cultivated in both

temperate and tropical environment hence it is said to be a native of

many regions of the world [3]. Ðere are several varieties of cucumber

but the edible cucumber is classLfied under two groups the slicing and

pickling cucumber.

Ðe slicing cucumbers are longer and thinner when compared to the

pickling cucumber [4]. Cucumber contains nutrients vital for the body

development [5]. It also has several health benefits such as: re-

hydrating the body, health regulating the blood pressure, body weight

management, cholesterol reduction, cancer prevention, bone health,

diabetes cure and antioxidant activity [1,6-11]

Cultivation of cucumber requires soil types which possess a high

water holding capacity and good drainage. It also requires soil rich in

organic matter and manure. Ðe soil pH ranges from 5.5 to 7.0 [12], its

proper development is aÙˆÙ´ected by water logged soil hence it needs a

fair amount of water. Planting is usually done on a hill, rows or raised

beds. $Ñ–er planting several seed on a hill it is later thinned to 2-3 plant

per hill [13]. Harvesting of the cucumber is usually 40 to 60 days aÑ–er

planting [14].

Climates and season dLÙˆÙ´er as you move from the Northern Nigeria

to the Southern Nigeria and be broadly classLfied into two seasons, the

dry season and wet season [3]. Ðe environment a plant is cultivated

include the soil and the climate of the site of cultivation [15]. Ðe

component of soil aÙˆÙ´ects plant growth. Ðe locations of the soil and

climate aÙˆÙ´ect the soil composition [16]. Plants which are cultivated in

dLÙˆÙ´erent location will have dLÙˆÙ´erent quality as a result of the dLÙˆÙ´erence

in the soil composition and climate [17].

Materials and Methods

Ðree States in Nigeria were selected for the study. Ðe states are

Rivers, Imo and Plateau. Ðe seeds were bought from fruit garden

market, Kaduna Street, Port-Harcourt. Same variety of cucumber was

cultivated in the site of choice in the various states. Planting was done

on hills. Ðe plants were thinned to two plants per hill. Ten hills were

made in each of the farm for the purpose of this study. At the end of

ten weeks of planting the cucumber fruits were plucked and collected

for analysis.

Ðe physical observation of the yield of the cucumber by measuring

the fruit length, weight and counting the number of fruit was done.

Ðe proximate analysis was carried out at the food science

laboratory of the Rivers State University Port-Harcourt. It was done

using standard laboratory technique as described by Association of

Analytical Communities [18,19]. Ðe protein analysis was done using

the technique described by Chang [20]. Ðe mineral analysis was done

using the Atomic Absorption spectrophotometer technique.
