Abstract: A Farm Practice Project "Stem fruit Thinning in the Production of Cucumber" was undertaken at Central Experiment Station, Don Severino Agricultural College, Indang, Cavite from August 17 to October 17, 1996. The project aimed to help the student: (a) gain experience in handling and managing a small scale cucumber production project, (b) demonstrate the technique of stem fruit thinning in improving cucumber production, and (c) determine the profitability of cucumber production through stem fruit thinning. Garden soil were mixed and placed in 270 pieces polyethylene bags. Three seeds of cucumber were sown per bag but later only two plants were allowed to grow and develop. After thinning, plant population became 540. The three initial stem fruits were removed about 34 days after planting. The process was employed to improve cucumber yield as a result of a reduced fruit competition. The total gross income amounted to P 5,933.75. A net income of P 1,703.48 was generated when a total production input of P 4,230.27 was taken out. The project can be considered a profitable business based on the Return on Investment (ROI) obtained which was 40.27%.
