Modern irrigation methods are efficient enough to supply the entire field uniformly with water, so that each plant has the amount of water it needs, neither too much nor too little. [34] Water use efficiency in the field can be determined as follows: Field Water Efficiency (%) = (Water Transpired by Crop ÷ Water Applied to Field) x 100
Cucumber fruits consist of 95% water (see nutrition table). In botanical terms, the cucumber is classified as a pepo, a type of botanical berry with a hard outer rind and no internal divisions. However, much like tomatoes and squashes, it is often perceived, prepared, and eaten as a vegetable. [9]
Cucumbers, however, are quite tender plants and do not grow easily year-round.

Cucumbers were planted in wheeled carts which were put in the sun daily, then taken inside to keep them warm at night.

Sow 2 or 3 radish seeds in with cucumbers to repel cucumber beetles. One study showed a 75% reduction in cucumber beetles with the concurrent seeding of amaranth. [55] Various sprays from lettuce, asparagus, Malabar spinach, and celery were found to reduce whiteflies. [47] See cucurbits entry for more info Cucurbits: Cucurbitaceae: Corn
