ABSTRACT

Present study was conducted during December 2003 in cucumber var. Green Long. The results
revealed that application of 50 per cent recommended dose of fertilizers + vermicompost @ 2 t/ha
+ biofertilizers (2 kg in each of Azospirillum and Phosphobacteria @ 2 kg ha-1) increased the vine
length, earliness in flowering, yield and yield components. The highest yield of 32.80 t/ha and B:C
ratio of 2.24 was also recorded in the same treatment. Hence application of 50 per cent recommended dose of fertilizers + vermicompost @ 2 t ha-1 + biofertilizers (2 kg in each of Azospirillum and Phosphobacteria) is recommended for cucumber crop
