a Abbreviations: 1,3-D = 1,3-dichloropropene; MNa = metam sodium; MB = methyl bromide.

b Cucumber height collected at 4 WAT.

c Root galling index and root disease index were collected at the end of the trials.

d Cucumber yield collected at each harvest time and summed together at the end of the trials.

e Cucumber income collected at each harvest time and accumulated together at the end of the trials.

f In each column, data are means of three replications. Means followed by the same letter are not significantly different (P = 0.05) according to the LSD test
