EFFECT OF DIFFERENT CONCENTRATION OF ROCK DOVE MANURE ON GROWTH AND YIELD OF CUCUMBER ( Cucumis sativus L. ) INTER UNHEATED PLASTIC HOUSES

Abstract

This study was conducted during spring growing season 2012 in the one of unheated plastic house at the faculity of Agriculture and Forestry , Mosul Universty , to study the effect of different organic manures (Roct Dove manure ) on vegetative growth and quantity , quality yield of cucumber hybrid F1 of Sayff variety, the Roct Dove manure treatmend which used in this study : Chemical fertilizer ( Control ), and fife concentration of Roct Dove manure ( 10 gm L , 20 gm L , 30 gm L , 40 gm L , 50 gm L ) ,this experiment was conducted in the field in Randomized Complet Block Design ( RCBD ) with tree replicated . The results could be summarized as following : The leaf number per plant , yield per plant , fruit length and diameter fruit unsignificantly effected when used Rock Dove manure , but the 50 gm L of this manure significantly effect in plant length , branch number per plant , dry weight per plant , fruit number per plant , total and marketable fruits yield and early yield per plastic house ( 500m² ) compared with chemical fertilizer treatment , while this increasing unsignificantly between the treatments of Rock Dove manure which used in this study in characteristics .
