Abstract

The production of mini cucumber type "cocktail" is growing in Brazil, whose cultivation is performed in a greenhouse in vertical conduction system of the plants for possible environmental conditions and management practices that increase productivity and fruit quality. To achieve this goal, technologies such as the use of LED lamps inside the canopy and grafted seedlings has been used to this vegetable that has high added value in the market. However, the combination of these two factors has not been studied in tropical and sub- tropical conditions. Thus, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the productivity and quality of mini cucumber cultivate Larino RZ F10 to LED lamps technology and grafting, in a protected environment.
