Abstract
A factorial experiment was conducted under controlled screenhouse conditions to determine the effects and interaction of plant population density (main plot) and supplemental foliar fertilizer (sub-plot) on the fresh and seed yield of Cu-6 (Pilmaria), a locally-developed pickling cucumber variety. A population density of two plants per hill was significantly better (0.10p0.05) than either one or three plants per hill in terms of total marketable fresh yield and number of mature fruits per plant. Over crowding of plant canopies as in the case of three plants per hill significantly reduced the number of mature fruits per plant. No significant differences, however, were observed on the final seed yield among the three population densities. The marketable fresh yield and seed yield also did not differ among sub-plot treatments, however, it was noted that plants sprayed with Crop Giant and Supreme foliar fertilizers gave 11.4 percent and 10.5 percent increase in marketable fresh yield, respectively compared to the untreated control irrespective of the plant population density
