Abstract

The aim of this research was to study the effect of spraying organic extracts on the vegetative growth characteristics and yield of the Giant and Salim cucumber varieties using the randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replicates. Fenugreek seeds, dry yeast, poultry waste, and seaweed extract were sprayed on both varieties while distilled water was sprayed as a comparison treatment. The results showed that the Giant variety was significantly superior to the Salim in all the studied characteristics, reaching 213.69 cm (length), 78.86 number of leaves plant-1, 84.90 dry weight g, 105.64 g, 3.35 m2 plant-1 and 28.94 number of fruits plant-1 and 3.07 kg, respectively. Spraying with seaweed extract was superior in terms of average length (228.33 cm), number of leaves (78.18 number of leaves plant-1), and fruit weight (112.79 g). Spraying with poultry manure extract produced superior average leaf area traits, number of fruits and total plant yield at 3.49 m2 plant-1, 29.26 number of fruits plant-1, and 3.24 kg, respectively. For interaction between the varieties and extracts, the treatment for the Giant variety involving seaweed extract spraying was superior in length and number of leaves traits at 251.90 cm and 84.53 number of leaves plant-1, respectively. The interactive treatment with poultry manure extract spraying for the Giant variety outperformed in leaf area, number of fruits and total yield per plant (3.69 m2 plant-1, 33.90 number of fruits plant-1, and 3.68 kg) respectively. This variety outperformed in nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium content following treatment with poultry manure. The results also showed that for the poultry manure treatment, the Giant variety had the highest nitrogen content while Salim recorded the highest amounts of phosphorus and potassium

8 of 9 groups shown: named compounds and organisms first, then groups whose results differ (checked claim by claim), then those with positive and negative results, then the smaller groups.

Claims are grouped by organism, treatment and what was measured or targeted. A paper counts as positive when any of its claims in the group is positive.
