چکیده

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of the foliar application of zinc (15, 30 and 50 mg/L) and iron (50 and 100 mg/L) and their combination on vegetative, reproductive growth, fruit quality and yield of cucumber plants as a factorial in completely randomized block design with four replications. Results indicated that different applied treatments significantly increased vegetative and reproductive growth, fruit quality of cucumber plants. Results indicated that Zn at 50 mg/L and Fe at 100 mg/L increased chlorophyll content and yield. The effect of Zn and Fe was promoting too, as 50 mg/L and at 100 mg/L of Zn and Fe led to significant increments of vegetative factors, chlorophyll and leaf NK content and fruit quality. However, the best results were found when Zn was applied accompanied by Fe.
