Other claims from this paper (17)
- Intervention effect Seaweed extract spray significantly increased most squash growth parameters.
- Intervention effect Seaweed-treated squash had greater early and total yield.
- Intervention effect Seaweed-treated squash had higher vitamin C content.
- Intervention effect Seaweed-treated squash fruit had lower nitrate content.
- Intervention effect Seaweed treatment increased NPK content in squash leaves and fruit relative to control.
- Intervention effect Rice-straw compost gave the highest squash fresh and dry weight per plant and dry matter.
- Intervention effect Chicken manure gave the best early yield in the first season.
- Intervention effect Farmyard manure gave the best early yield in the second season.
- Intervention effect Farmyard manure gave lower fruit nitrate content in the first season.
- Intervention effect Compost gave lower fruit nitrate content in the second season.
- Intervention effect Increasing organic nitrogen rate significantly increased squash vegetative growth, yield and fruit quality.
- Intervention effect Increasing organic nitrogen rate significantly increased NPK in squash leaves and fruit.
- Intervention effect Seaweed extract and organic nitrogen source and rate interacted to give highest vegetative traits and total yield.
- Intervention effect Rice-straw compost at 200% with seaweed spray increased squash fruit vitamin C in the first season.
- Observation Seaweed spray with 200% farmyard manure gave the maximum net return, 4992 L.E./fed.
- Observation Seaweed spray with 200% rice-straw compost gave 4854 L.E./fed. net return.
- Mechanism Organic manure was reported to improve soil fertility through effects on soil properties.
