Abstract: Cucumber is an important vegetable crop but has received insufficient breeding attention. The objectives of this work were to assess the genetic variability among the collected cultivars and estimate heritability and genetic advance to enhance selection for genetic improvement of Cucumber. The experimental materials comprised four cultivars from Nigeria and four cultivars from China. The cultivars were evaluated using randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications. Analysis of variance showed that the cultivars differed significantly (P
