The effect of cow-urine and bio-fertilizers based fertigation schedule was studied
at varying levels of drip irrigation on various cucumber parameters in a naturally
ventilated polyhouse during summer season. The experiment was conducted in a
randomized block design with 11 treatments and 3 replication comprising of two
drip irrigation levels viz., I2(IW/CPE= 0.4) and I4 (IW/CPE = 0.8), five fertigation
levels and one farmers’ practice. The total soluble solids (TSS) were numerically
higher in irrigation level I2 than in I4. The yield was statistically higher in different
treatments compared to farmers’ practice (4.47 kg m-2). The gross return and B: C
ratio were highest in treatment F2I4 (where F2 is 100 % of recommended NPK
doses (1/3rd N and full P, K applied as basal and 2/3rdN through fertigation +
Azotobacter + PSB) and 5% cow-urine) and were lowest under farmers’ practice.
However, the irrigation levels didn’t influence the marketable yield. The overall
results indicated that combined application of bio-fertilizers and fertilizers has
positive effect on yield, growth and quality parameter due to addition of nutrients
and saving of at least 50 % of water and hence can be exploited as a sustainable
approach under integrated nutrient management.
