One planting bed per treatment was selected as an experimental unit, with a population of 207 plants, planted in double rows 30 cm apart. The cucumber variety used was SS-5. The bioactaive compound Quitosana was applied in the foliar form in the early hours of the morning, 10 days alter seed germination. Crop propagation was done by direct planting.
