Effect of chitosan on variables of growth, nutrient absorption and yield of Cucumis sativus
To determine the effect of the application of Chitosan on cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.), an experiment was carried out in glasshouse conditions. The treatments consisted of the application of three doses of Chitosan 100, 200 and 300 mg ha-1 and a control, on the varieties INIVIT and RACER, for a tot...
