Major Cucumber growing states of India are Haryana, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Assam, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and Jammu & Kashmir.
Fruit is the most economically important part of Cucumber.
Cucumbers require warm and dry conditions to develop optimally, preferring both warm days and warm nights.
They grow best at a temperature of 30˚C.
Cucumbers will provide best yields if grown in a fertile, well-draining soil, rich in organic matter.
Cucumber grows best in soil with pH between 6.5 and 7.5.
Cucumbers are very sensitive to cold and should be planted in full sun and provided with ample soil moisture.
