This study was conducted in Thinker’s Corner-Emene Enugu, Southeastern Nigeria to determine the effect of staking and plant spacing on the growth and yield of cucumber. Staked and unstaked and three plant spacing (50cmx30cm, 50cmx40cm and 50cmx50cm) were evaluated. The study was conducted as a 2x3 factorial laid out in randomized complete block design (RCBD) with five replications. Treatment means were separated using least significant difference (LSD=0.05). The result generated from the study showed that number of fruits, number of marketable fruits and weight of fruits. Staking had no significant effect on weight of fruits, but showed significant effect on number of branches, number of leaves and vine length decreased as the plant spacing increased from 50cmx30cm to 50cmx40cm. The closest plant spacing (50cmx30cm) recorded the highest value in all the parameters assessed in this trial except for number of flowers, Days to 50% anthesis, length of fruit and weight of fruit. The staked treatment constantly performed better with higher values than the non-staked treatment except for the flowers and number of non-marketable fruits. Hence for maximum production of cucumber staking and closer plant spacing should be adopted.
