Effects of Different Concentration of Water-retaining Agent on Growth of Cucumber Seedlings

Open publisher page 1 citations

Abstract

The different concentrations of water-retaining agent on cucumber seedlings were studied by soilless culture.The re-sults showed that the water-retaining agent could increase substrate moisture.All treatments decreased emergence rate but 0.1% treatment.Suitable concentration could improve seedling quality,root activity and leaf water content,but higher concentration treatments inhibited cucumber seedlings growth.By comprehensive analysis,0.5% was the best treatment in this experiment.
