Abstract
Cucumis sativus is cultivated all around the world and held an important position in cucurbitaceous crops. Seeds of Cucumis sativus have cooling, tonic, diuretic and anthelmintic effect. According to world total production most important and widely cultivated cucurbits have been water melon, Cucumis sativus. According to data sheet of area of 2.09 million ha have been under Cucumis sativus cultivation and 0.31 million tone yields in return worldwide. There were total 12 different varieties and central devoutness of the study was to compare all these varieties and to know about the best variety among all. After comparing means from data it was conducted that in terms Number of leaves C-3479, C-571 and Sialkot local beard highest number of leaves. All the varieties showed almost similar trend in length of stem and days of flowering. C-3479 possessed highest number of fruits and Sialkot local had lowest number of fruits. The color of flowers as well as shape of stem was almost same in all varieties. In contrast to match Leaf size, length of fruit also sums of fruits.

Summary
Vegetables have been known from ancient times as fresh and edible parts of herbaceous plants. Vegetables can be available in different edible forms such as roots, stems, leaves, fruits and seeds. Cucumis sativus are known as monoecious flowers because they produce male female flowers distinctly on same plant [2]. Unless the plant is parthenocarpic, the fruit yield of the Cucumis sativus depends on the pollination [4]. The degree of parthenocarpy expression in Cucumis sativus is considered epigenetic or directly related to environmental changes during the growing season and is more pronounced in lines with more female flowers. According to USDA, National Nutrient Data Base 2014, Cucumis sativus fruit per 100g contains 3% carbohydrates, 1% protein, 0.5% total fat and 1 % dietary fiber. The aim is to study check the effects of agro-climatic conditions on different varieties in order to examine the effects of climate on yield-related traits through germplasm collection
