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 result showed that cattle dung at 200kg/ha had higher effect at P< 0.05 in plant height at 4, 8, 12 weeks after planting (WAP), also in fruit yield of the plant followed by cattle dung at 150kg/plot, and 0kg/plot, having the least value. In leaf area index at 4 WAP, there is no significant difference among the treatment means. This might be that e the seed has not been established well in the soil, but at 8 and 12 there a significant difference among treatment.
