Abstract: The field experiment was conducted at Experimental Farm of Indian Institute of Vegetable Research, Varanasi, U.P. during two consecutive years 2007 and 2008 on growth, flowering behavior and fruit development of greenhouse cucumber (Cucumis sativus L). The farm soil is sandy loam in texture having 6.6 to 7.4pH The experiment consisted 12 cucumber varities such as, CH-20, Prasad-10, CH-24, Pusa Sanyog, SPP-44, NH-150, Patna,Rachi-3, Poin settle, Green long, Swarna Ageti and SPP-56 with 3 replication in randomized Block Design. Results showed that verieties Pusa Sanyog at 14th D.A.A. while, 28th, 42nd D.D.A. maximum fresh weight was associated with cultivar Ranchi-3 and dry weight was noted C.V. NH-150 at 28th D.A.A. than other rest varieties. Male flowers were earlier than female flowers in all the cultivars of cucumber in the both years. Prasad-10 is suitable for earlier flowering anthesis of flower on lower nods. The fruit size of cucumber was maximum developed at initial stages i.e. from 7th to 14th and 21st days after anthesis of different cucumber varieties in study years.
