A field experiment was conducted in the Department of Horticulture, Khalsa College, Amritsar during 2017-2018 to study the Influence of integrated nutrient management practices in cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) cv. Punjab Naveen. The seeds were sown in mid February. The experiment was laid out in RBD with ten treatment combinations replicated thrice. Results of the study showed that the combined application of organic and inorganic fertilizers had significant effect on the physical and biochemical characteristics of cucumber. The results of the experiment revealed that among the different treatments the application of NPK 75% RDF + FYM 25% showed maximum growth attributes. Maximum vine length (2.34 m), number of branches (16.90), number of leaves per vine (128.07), fruit length (22.20 cm), fruit breadth (5.37 cm), fruit weight (285.71 g) and TSS (3.07 °B) were recorded with the application of NPK 75% RDF+ FYM 25% as compared to other treatments of nutrient management. The yield (17.10 tha-1) was also found to be maximum under NPK 75% (RDF) + FYM 25% respectively.
