Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Total root length, root volume and root surface area of cucumber seedlings were greatest in the commercial growing medium (CGM).
- Intervention effect Root morphology of cucumber seedlings was significantly influenced by the five media.
- Intervention effect Fertigation increased root growth of cucumber seedlings, especially in the CGM.
- Association Root growth affected the shoot growth of cucumber seedlings.
- Intervention effect Shoot growth of cucumber seedlings was greatest in the CGM and TP medium.
- Intervention effect The CGM and TP medium also gave good root development of cucumber seedlings.
- Recommendation Commercial growing medium with fertigation is advantageous for cucumber root development and growth.
- Recommendation Medium TP shows promise as a growing medium for cucumber seedlings in the seedling stage.
