Evaluation of Orange and Biofertilizer on Some Yield Traits of Cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.)

Abstract

In the year 2021, in one of the communities in the Abu Ghraib area of Baghdad, a factorial experiment was carried out to study the effect of adding organic ma-nure(poultry, cattle and sheep)and dry bread yeast suspension on certain yield characteristics of cucumber plants (Hadeel hybrid) grown in a greenhouse. Results showed that poultry waste had the best effects in the fruit set (67.21%), the diameter of the fruit(of 2.58 cm(, the number of fruit (36.81 fruit plant-1), the weight of fruit (66.00 g), and the yield (2.42 kg plant-1). The poultry manure caused a reduction in the peel thickness to a minimum value of (0.145mm). Compared to the control treatment, adding dry yeast suspension to plants improved all yield parameters tested.
