Abstract
Two field experiments were conducted at Sakha Protected Cultivation Site, Kafr EI-Sheikh Governorate during 2003 and 2004 seasons to study the effect or some bio-fertilizers application on growth, productivity and quality of cucumber fruits. The used bio-fertilizers were Microbeine. Nitrobeine and Phosphorine by the rate of 1 kg/pl;:stic hOUS3/880 m2) from each one, compared to normal recommended fertilizer as a control.
The obta.ned results showed that bio-fertilizers significantly improved the vegetative traits of cucumber plants namely (stem length, number of branches and number of leaves total). The highest values of vegetative trait and yield were obtained from application of phosphorine. Application addition of Phosphorine significantly increased numter of fruits and yield compared with the plants which received Microbeine and Nitrobeine. The lowest trait yield and thE; lowest number of fruits were achieved with normal recommended fertilizer application. Best results for i.e., fruit quality characters (fruit length, fruit diameter) and dry matter, content were obtained with cucumber plants which received Phosphorine.
