In order to identify the most suitable culture substrate and container type for cucumber to improve the water use efficiency (WUE), cucumber growth and rield with, different substrates (peat moss, coconut fiber and a 1:1 peat moss to coconut fiber mixed substrate) and containers (planting trough, basket and long pot) were compared. The trial was carried out under full-irrigation cultivation. The results showed that the highest dry mass and productivity of the cucumbers were obtained when planted in basket s with mixed substrate (BM), which resulted in a dry mass of 78.86 g and fresh fruit of 422.09 g. Plants cultured in long pots with coconut fiber (LC) had the highest WUE of 203.83% and growth rate; the days to flowering 29.7 days was the lowest among all treatments, and the dry mass was lower than BM treatment only. Thus, LC was recommended for planting cucumbers in this type of facility and cultural method which used water more efficiently and resulted in better growth.
