Effect of some organic fertilizers on yield and quality of cucumber Cucumus sativus
Abstract
This study was conducted during the fall season of 2021 in the Burmana Al-Mashaikh district of Tartous Governorate, with the aim of determining the type of organic fertilizer that is efficient to obtain the best vegetative growth, the best productivity and quality of cucumber fruits, and to reduce the negative impact of chemical fertilization in greenhouses.
In the experiment, four types of organic fertilizers (cow manure, poultry manure, sheep manure, and goat manure) were used in addition to the control treatment (mineral fertilization).
The results showed that the treatment of fertilization with poultry dung and the treatment of fertilization with sheep dung were superior to the control with values of significant differences over the control. The plant productivity reached 7.04 kg/plant (21.11 kg/m2) for the treatment of poultry dung and 6.99 kg/plant (20.97 kg/m2) for the treatment of fertilization with sheep dung .
With regard to the most important indicator of the quality of vegetables, all organic fertilization treatments were superior in their content of vitamin C, especially the treatment of fertilization with poultry giblets 10.17 mg / 100 g fresh material, superior by significant differences to the control 6.47 mg / 100 g fresh materia.
