| Abstract | ||
| The experiment was conducted in unheated plastic house at Horticulture and Landscape Department ,College of Agriculture and Forestry , Mosul University during spring season 2013, to study the effect of soil mulching with black poly ethylene and with out mulch and added three organic fertilizer ( Nitrogreen 3cm3/L. concentration and Vit- Org 3cm3/L. conc. And Humistar 2 gm/ L . conc. ) in addation to the chemical fertilizer on some vegetative growth parameters and yield of hybrid gynecious cucumber sayff F1 cultivar . A split plot system within Randomized Complete Block Design ( RCBD ) was used to carry out this experiment , with three replicates . All data were analysed and tested by using duncan̓s multiple range test under 0.05 probability level.The results could be summarized as follow Soil mulching with black poly ethylene caused a significant increase in vegetative growth parameters : plant length , leaf area / plant , and a significant reduction in days number needed to reach 10% of flowering 50.53 days , and in yield parameters : yield per plant 3.44 kg , fruits number/ plant 38.42 , total yield 8.707 ton / plastic house 500 m2 , the application of organic fertilizer caused a significant increase in vegetative and yield parameters compared with chemical fertilizer , the interaction between organic fertilizer Nitrogreen + soil mulching with black poly ethylene gave a significant increase in vegetative parameters , but the interaction between organic fertilizer Humistar + soil mulching with black poly ethylene gave a significant increase yield parameters Key words: Soil mulching – Organic fertilizers – Growth–Yield Cucumber-plastic House . | ||
