sowing of seeds in just surface of soil.
 Seedling Preparation
1. Protection from heat shock
2. Protection from microbial infection
3. Hardening of seedlings before sales
4. Moisture should be maintained
MARKETING:-
Selling cost- Rs 4/plant.
seed cost-Rs 1437
1200gm vermicompost+cocopit in a single Tray & 25gm gm in
a single pit.
Rs 6/kg-vermicompost, 5kg block is 220Rs(15 kg after
soaking)
8.8Rs/tray for 600gm of soaked cocopit.
Cost of single 1200gm-8.8+3.6=12.4Rs/tray.
Total no of tray 45,so total cost of
vermicompost+cocopit=12.4x45=603Rs
Cost of fungicide-Rs 25appx.
Fibre bag+plastic cup cost=175+200=375RS
TOTAL COST
1437+603+25+375=2440Rs/45 tray.]
Kisan mela
Marketing Place: B.A.U Sabour, Bhagalpur
The Kisan mela was of 3 days duration from 23-25 th feb

2019. The theme of kisan mela was enhancement of
farmers income through organic farming and nutritious
grains. Total 133 stalls were arranged.
It was inagurated by honerable Agriculture Minister of
Bihar . Our stahl & appreciated a lot, it was centre of
attraction and praised by Proffesors ,farmers and several
visitors and shown interest by purchasing seedlings.
OUTPUT COST- Rs 3746/45 Tray.
PROFIT- RS 1306/45 Tray.

Package and practices of CUCUMBER:
Botanical name: Cucumis sativus
Family : Cucurbitaceae
Chromosome no 2n = 24
Origin: India
Cucumber is a native of India . C. sativus is originated in North India.
C.hardwicki occurs as wild species.
 Climate and Soil :

Cucumber is especially a warm season crop. This is very sensitive to frost.
Excess humidity promotes diseases like powdery mildew and downy mildew.
The optimum temperature for cucumber production is 26.40 C. Seed of
cucumber germinates well at 25 degree Celcius. A well drained loamy soil is
preferred for cucumber production.
 Variety :-Hybrid Malini

No. of seed - 319 (1 packet)
Net wt. – 40
Germination % - 70%
Physical purity- 98%
Genetic purity – 95%

 Agronomic Practices :
Sowing time :- 22-23 jan, Germination date :-27-28 jan
Seed Rate : 1kg/acre
Spacing :- The seeds are sown on both sides of the beds of width 2.5 metre at a distance
of 60 cm. Sow two seeds at one place to ensure good stand
 Nursery management :
Nursery is a place where seedlings, cuttings and grafts are raised with care
before transplanting. It is very convenient to look after the tender seedlings. It is
easy to protect the seedlings from pests and diseases.
Before transplanting , on 21 jan we had prepared nursery of cucumber using

potray mixture.
 Seed sowing and germination : Seed sowing was done at half inch
depth . Deep sowing delays the germination . germinate and emerge in
three days under optimum conditions. During this time seed coat remains
tight.
Once cotyledons emerge, roots developed quickly. For proper
germination, soil temperature must be above 15°C. If the soil is too cold
and wet poor seedling emergence will take place.
 Field preparation before transplantation :
A well-prepared field controls weeds, recycles plant nutrients, and provides an
easy growth of plants .
It typically involves ploughing (to till or dig-up, mix, and overturn the soil) ;
harrowing to break the soil clods into smaller mass and incorporate plant
residue and levelling the field.
We had dig the soil upto 30 cm diameter around each plant before transplanting.
 Transplanting :
In first week of march, transplanting of cucumber was done at the depth of
2.5-4 cm and at 2 – 4 leaf stage .
Pickling cucumbers have to be very precise on planting dates to avoid quality
detoriation of fruit .
 Manure and Fertilizers:-

It requires 40 kg N (90 kg of Urea), 20 kg P2 O5 (125 kg of Single
Superphosphate) and 20 kg K2 O (35 kg Muriate of Potash). Apply one third of
N alongwith P2 O5 and K2 O at the time of sowing in two parallel bands 15 cm
away from the bed mark. Apply rest of the N during the early period of vine
grow.
 Spacing:
Planting spacing of 0.6 m * 1 m depend on the growth method, variety and
harvesting method.
Close spacing increases yields, provides more uniform maturity and reduces
weed problems. It also results in shorter fruit with a lighter color.but
intervention in intercultural operation and harvesting.
On the other hand, high plant population requires more seeds and slightly
higher fertilizer rates.
Trellising :-
Cucumber vines can be trained on trellises to save space and improve yield and
fruit quality. Staking was done using bamboo stick .
The major advantages of trellising a cucumber crop include:

 harvesting efficiency increases
 pest management efficiency
 straighter fruits
 uniform fruit color
 reduction of fruit loss due to soil diseases
 increased yield
Disadvantages include:
 extra cost of trellising materials
 labor to erect the system, dismantle it and training the vines
 Irrigation & weeding
Maximum yields and fruit quality will be realized only if the plants receive
adequate and timely moisture. Cucumber plants have shallow roots and require
ample soil moisture at all stages of growth.
 Plants were irrigated on daily basis ( or 4or 5 days interval).

 Weeding has been done time to ensure more nutrient absorbed by plants.
 The objective of watering is to maintain a fully adequate supply of water
to the plant roots without soaking the soil to the extent that air cannot get
to the roots. Do not wait until the plants start to wilt. Regular watering on
the same day of the week is unwise. An irregular water supply,
particularly during blossoming and fruit development, can detrimentally
affect fruit quality and result in increased nubins or hooked fruit.
Irrigation timing should not coincide with pollination .
 Harvesting :- Fruits are picked when tender and young when seeds
inside the fruit are still soft. Fruits must be picked before change in
icolour i.e. from green to yellow.
 INSECT-PESTS ATTACTS:-
 Red pumpkin beetle
 T/m : Spray of imdaclorpid @1 ml in 3 litre water.
