  Field experiments were conducted to study the disease incidence and severity of six cucumber lines at different time of planting (April, 12th; May, 12th; June, 12th, July, 12th and September, 12th), Six varieties of cucumber (Marketter, Poinsett 76 Netherlands, Poinsett 76 Holland, Poinsett France, Poinsett Holland and super marketter) during 2013 farming season. It was observed from the results that the planting time of April had the lowest disease incidence (3.48%) and severity on leaves (1.20) and fruits (1.06), followed by September with lower disease incidence (3.60%), disease severity on leaves (1.22) and fruits (1.17) while July had the highest disease incidence (6.27%) and disease severity on leaves(1.56) and fruits (1.74). The yields during the April and September plantings were significantly (p<0.05) higher than other months. April and Se.. View More»
