Abstract
In an experiment conducted during spring summer and kharif season to find the effect of season, spacing and planting time on seed yield and quality in cucumber, suitable season, spacing and planting time in each season were standardized. Kharif season crop were shorter by 10 days (40.79 days) as compared to summer season crop (50.67 days). Seed yield and number of seeds per fruit increased with decrease in spacing up to (1.25 m × 0.30 m) irrespective of season. The germination percentage was recorded lower in summer than kharif. Seed yield per fruit, 1000-seed weight, seed yield per hectare, seedling length, seedling dry weight and vigour index-I was recorded higher in summer than kharif. January 20th sowing gave higher seed yield per hectare (63.13 kg) with good germination (81.38 %) during spring summer. 31st July and 7th August sowing gave higher seed yield per hectare (31st July, 41.58 kg & 7th Aug 39.37 kg) and germination (31st July, 93.31% & 7th Aug 87.31%).
