| Abstract:
The experiment was carried out in Ohio Agricultural Research and Development Center. Four root media were selected as follows: Peat (P) + Sand (S), P + Vermiculite (V), P + V + S, and P + S + Perlite(p.). Water was applied by means of a sub-irrigation system. Nitrogen was applied as a base fertilizer or as a solution with water. Cucumber seedlings, cv. Corona F1, were obtained from Rockwool with base N-fertilizer to P + V and/or P + V + S media. Plant growth parameter, i.e., leaf number, leaf area, plant height, stem diameter, were determined in addition to plant water applied and drained. | |
