Studies on the stage of harvest and post-harvest ripening on seed quality in cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.).

In a field experiment at Bangalore in 1992, fruits of cucumber cv. Green Long were harvested 20, 30 40 or 50 days after anthesis and subjected to 0, 7 or 15 days of postharvest ripening to improve seed quality. Seed quality was assessed in terms of germination, field emergence and vigour. Seed quality was highest in fruits harvested 40 days after anthesis and in those ripened for 15 days. However, seeds harvested 40 or 50 days after anthesis did not benefit from postharvest ripening.
