Effect of Different Organic Manures on Growth, Yield and Quality of Cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) c.v. (Harsh) under Prayagraj Agro Climate Condition

A field experiment on cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) c.v. (Harsh) under Prayagraj agro climate condition” was conducted Prayagraj agro climate condition”was conducted in a Randomized Block Design with three replications during the Summer season, 2021 at Horticultural Research Farm, Department of Horticulture, Naini Agricultural Institute, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences, Prayagraj with a view to determine the effect of organic manures application on cucumber variety Harsh for its growth, quality and yield and to work out the economics of various treatments. Under this experiment, overall 10 treatment combinations were taken viz. T0 (Control), T1 (Farm Yard Manure 75% + Poultry manure 25%), T2(Farm Yard Manure 75% + Vermicompost 25%), T3(Farm Yard Manure 25% + Poultry manure 75%), T4(Poultry manure 75% + Vermicompost 25%), T5(Vermicompost 75% + Farm Yard Manure 25%), T6(Vermicompost 75% + Poultry manure 25%), T7(Farm Yard Manure 50% + Poultry manure 50%), T8(Vermicompost 50% + Poultry manure 50%) and T9 (Farm Yard Manure 50% + Vermicompost 50%).From the present investigation it was concluded that T8 (Poultry manure 50% + Vermicompost 50%) was found to be best among all treatment in terms of growth, yield and quality of cucumber i.e. T.S.S. The highest net return was found from T8 (Polutry manure 50% + vermicompost 50%) with ₹ 1,56,775 and the B:C ratio that is 1.92.
