Abstract: An experiment was conducted at the organic fertilizers producing section, to study the effects of different treatments of organic and
chemical fertilizers and spraying with microelements liquor on growth and yield of cucumber plants. The experiment included four organic
fertilizer treatments (palm fronds compost, corncobs compost, faba bean remain compost, sheep manure and a chemical fertilizer treatment),
-1 -1 -1 while the microelements were sprayed at three concentration levels,0.0 ml l (distilled water only), 0.6 ml l and 1.2 ml l . Results showed that the
faba bean remain compost treatment had the highest rate of leaf chlorophyll content (100.26 spad) with significant difference only from palm
fronds compost (76.79 spad). Fertilizer treatments did not differ in fruit length and diameter except the sheep manure, which recorded the highest
fruit diameter with significant difference only from palm fronds compost. Faba bean remain compost on the other hand had the highest values of
-1 -1
number of fruits plant (56.11) with significant difference only from chemical fertilizer (49.91 fruits plant ). Generally, fertilizers treatments did not
-1 -1
differ among each other in case of the yieldplant . Relative to spraying concentrations, treatments of 1.2 ml l resulted in significantly highest
-1
values of leaf content of total chlorophyll (93.16 spad), fruit length (14.9 cm) and diameter (2.87 cm), number of fruits plant (57.47) and total yield
-1
plant (5.52 kg).
