The effect of organic fertilizer on traits improvement of Cucumis melo L.

Abstract

Abstract:The experiment was conducted at Babylon Research Center to assess the organic fertilizer effects like sewage and Humic acid for improvement of musk melon that linked with yield . The sewage to add with two levels 10 ton – hector-1 (T3 ) and 20 ton – hector-1 (T4) as well as the plants spraying with Humic acid with two levels : 2 and 4 m1.L-1 , moreover the control treatment and chemical fertilizer at devised amount . the experiment was conducted at the Randomized complete Block Design . results show the sewage fertilizer (T3 , T4) was significantly surpass on other treatments in traits : No. of female flowers , No . of male flowers and no . of nodes before the first female flowers they are gave (12. 7 , 12.6 female slower per plant ). (16.5 , 17.3 male flower per plant) and 13.3 , 11.6 node before the first female flowers respectively . T3 treatment increased significantly on others treatments in number of branches that gave four branches . sewage fertilizer treatments not significantly different from other treatments in chlorophyll content . T4 treatment significantly with fruit content of fructose that gave 11 % and the sewage treatment was gave lower number of days from planting for flowering (38 , 36 Day ) respectively compared with the control and chemical fertilizer treatments they gaves 44 and 40 day .
