Table 6 Growth traits of Cucumber under various treatments. The data shows means ± standard error (n = 3). According to Tukey’s test (HSD), significant differences (P ≤ 0.05) are indicated by different lowercase letters in the same species within a column.

  1. The standard deviation of the means plus the mean of three replicates make up each number. Values of the same letter in the same column do not differ significantly; nevertheless, post hoc Tukey’s test results at P < 0.05 show significant differences between distinct lower-case letters in the same column.
