Abstract: Cucumber has a special place among the cucumber class vegetables. It can be easily grown in both Zayed and Kharif seasons. Cucumber is mainly used in raw form like salad, raita, pickle making. Apart from these, it is also used in chaat. But a treatment with 75% mineral nitrogen and 25% organic nitrogen was combined together and it produced higher cumulative yields compared to other treatments, especially when composted plant was applied Organic fertilizers were determined to increase some growth parameters, such as height and girth of the stem, and soil characteristics like nitrogen and phosphorus content and organic matter Organic fertilizers improved soil properties like nitrogen and phosphorus content and organic matter levels. These findings indicate that though inorganic fertilizers can increase yield, the incorporation of organic matter can enhance plant growth parameters and soil fertility, providing an equilibrium solution for nutrient management in cucumber production.
