| Abstract | ||
| This experiment was carried out in the experimental field , Dept. of Horticulture / College of Agriculture / University of Baghdad , during fall 2009 and spring 2010 . Three hybrids of cucumber were used , namely, Gazeer (G) , Najm (N) and Babylon (B) . Response of cucumber hybrids to chemical and organic fertilizer was studied , using suggested chemical fertilizers programme (T1) , organic fertilizers programme (T2) and recommended chemical fertilizers (T3) to examine their effects on vegetative growth and yield. A split plot arrangement was adopted with three replicates. Least significant differences was used to compare the means. Results showed Gazeer hybrid gave the highest vegetative growth and yield characteristics in fall and spring seasons while Babylon gave good characteristics of vegetative growth and yield in spring season. The best results were got by using recommended fertilizers (T3) (260 kg Urea / Ha with 340 kg super phosphate with added 100 kg K/Ha K2SO5) while organic fertilizers treatment improved vegetative growth and yield which include perl humus and pow humus and Amino power plus. Interaction treatment of Gazeer hybrid with recommended fertilizer treatment (GT3) gave the highest total yield (22.55 ton / hectar) in fall and 31.77 ton / hectar) in spring season and total yield of same variety with suggested chemical fertilizer (GT1) (20.66 ton / hectar and 30.57 ton / hectar in fall and spring season respectively).It could be suggest that organic fertilizer treatment (T2) which gave good total yield reached 20.22 ton / hectar in fall season and 29.07 ton / hectar in spring season . Although the production of organic fertilizer treatment (GT2) is lower than fertilizer treatment(GT3 and GT1) but it gave an improve to soil chemical composition and physical characteristics ,besides it decrease the environment pollution and produce healthy crop and pollutent free fruits. | ||
