Twin-head cucumber system reduces start-up costs

A technique for raising twin-head transplants and a twin-head ''V'' high-wire cucumber system was developed to address the issue of high start-up costs for greenhouse operations. The twin-head system achieved plant growth and fruit yield similar to a conventional single-head system on two long English seedless cucumber cultivars and two breeding lines. Use of the twin-head system resulted in significant decreases in start-up costs compared to the conventional high-wire system.
