Effect of Varying Levels of Poultry Manure and Inorganic Fertilizer on the Growth and Yield of Cucumber in Anyigba, Kogi State

The growth and yield of cucumber in response to the effect poultry manure inorganic fertilizer (NPK 20:10:10) was evaluated at Teaching Research farm Kogi State University Anyigba, Nigeria during 2021 raining season. Treatment consisted which applied 0, 7.5 15t/ha 20:10:10), rate 0.2, 0.4 0.6t/ha respectively. experiment laid a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replicates following all agronomic practices as recommended. Combined rates were found significantly increased (P≤0.05) characters such number leaves, vine length 4, 6 8WAS. Longest vines 602.75cm 213.75leaves obtained combined application PM + NPK 8WAS Similarly, Fruit length, Number fruits, weight/plant, yield/ha influenced by 0.4t/ha NPK, while control plots consistently gave least across sampling periods.
