Abstract
The research was carried out during the growing season of 2022 in one of the greenhouses affiliated with the University of Baghdad's Horticulture Dept., College of Agriculture, to evaluate the performance of four cucumber varieties, namely Marketmore 76, Beit Alpha, Ocucmmol (st), and Lahoba361034, and was given the following codes (V4, V3, V2, V1) respectively. They were tested under three levels of (SA) (0, 0.25, 0.5) mg. L-1, by using a Split-plot design RCBD with three replications. Salicylic acid was sprayed once at the beginning of the flowering of the plants. Results revealed that the variety cucumber Beit Alpha is superior to the rest of the varieties in most vegetative qualities; the node number (47.22), leaf number (48.11), branch number (14.22), and plant length (241.0 cm). It has been noted that application of Salicylic acid at 0.5 mg L-1 is the most suitable dose, as it gives the highest number of flowers (15.08), node number (44.83), leaf number (45.83), branch number (12.08), and plant length (226.8cm); The results revealed a significant increase in. The interaction between the cucumber Beit Alpha and Salicylic acid (0.5) concentration was higher than the other varieties tested.
