dc.description.abstract	The effect of different red to far-red (R:FR) ratios were studied on two cucumber cultivars; 'Hi Light' and 'Imea'. Observations were done on photosynthetic efficiency, morphological characteristics, growth and carbohydrate accumulation in leaves and fruits of both cultivars after light treatment with different R:FR ratios for approx. 30 days. This study found an increase in net assimilation with addition of FR resulting increase in the growth of plants, dry matter accumulation, and accumulation of soluble sugars and starch in both cultivars despite decrease in chlorophyll pigments.
