Abstract

Yield and quality of three parthenocarpic mini cucumber genotypes grown under greenhouse conditions were evaluated. The harvest begun at 31 days after transplant for all genotypes. Data show a wide variability between genotypes with respect to fruit length (17,83 – 18,41 cm), fruit diameter (42,68 – 43,81 mm), total number of fruits per plant (33,81 – 41,35), mean fruit weight (224,24 – 239,71 g), yield per plant (7717,07 – 9720,08 g/plant), commercial yield (15,63 – 21,13 kg/m2), total yield (20,05 – 25,25 kg/m2), and percentage of total soluble solids (2,97 – 3,10 °Brix). Katrina genotype obtained the highest commercial (21,13 kg/m2) and first quality yield (15,73 kg/m2).
