    • ABSRACT - [ Total Page(s): 1 ]The field experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of different rates of cattle dung on soil physiochemical properties and growth and yield of cucumber during the 2010 planting season. The experiment was a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with five rates (0kg/ha, 50kg/ha, 100kg/ha, 150kg/ha, 200kg/ha) of cattle dung replicated four time. The parameters measured were physiochemical properties of the soil which includes bulk density, total porosity, moisture content, exchangeable base, total nitrogen, available P, soil PH, CEC etc, plant height, fruit yield, leaf area index. The re ... Continue Reading
