THE EFFECTS OF A COMMERCIAL AMF-BASED INOCULUM ON THE GROWTH AND YIELD OF CUCUMBER
Abstract
Cucumber is a commonly produced vegetable whose fruits are high in vitamins and low in calories, making them a popular addition to most weight-loss program meals.
Cucumber cultivation in Cameroon’s South West Region is limited by a number of problems, the most significant of which being a lack of fertile land.
As a result, farmers are forced to cultivate the same plot of ground year after year, necessitating the sustainable use of existing land in order to maximize agricultural output.
Cucumber growing thus demands the use of fertilizers. We set out to investigate the impact of several types of fertilizers on cucumber growth and production for this reason.
There were 10 treatments in all, comprising nine fertilizer combinations (AMF, PM, NPK, Urea, AMF+PM, AMF+NPK, AMF+Urea, PM+NPK, PM+Urea, PM+NPK, PM+Urea, PM+NPK, and PM+Urea) and a control (no fertilizer added).
NPK and Urea were each applied at a rate of 10g/plant, AMF was applied at a rate of 20g/plant, and PM was applied at a rate of 30g/plant. The study lasted for eight weeks.
Fortnightly measurements of plant growth characteristics (numbers of leaves per plant, plant height, stem girth, leaf area, and days to blooming) were taken.
After every two weeks, yield metrics (number of fruits per plant, fruit length, fruit diameter, and fruit weight) were measured.
Fertilizer addition increased growth and yield characteristics in general, while the changes were not significant (P 0.05) in several circumstances.
Plant height (87.34cm), stem girth (7.03mm), leaf area (213.35 cm2), fruit length (11.38cm), fruit diameter (10.73cm), and number of fruits per plant (23), all improved when PM was added, whereas PM in conjunction with NPK improved number of leaves (14.09). AMF was betting on the weight of each fruit (384.86 g).
When urea was applied single or in combination with either AMF or NPK, the least values for these growth and yield metrics were found.
The findings showed that fertilizer was required to boost cucumber output in the research location, and that fertilizer selection was a crucial component to consider.
