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.
