Effect of Bio- and Mineral Fertilization and Number of Pickings on Seed Production of Okra (Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench)

Effect of Chemical, Organic and Bio Fertilizers on Growth, Yield and Quality of Cucumber Plant (Cucumis sativus L.) grown under Greenhouse Conditions

“…These fertilizers also improve the structure and porosity of the soil, which leads to a balance between moisture and aeration in the soil (Genchev et al, 1979;Al-Sahaf, 1989;Al-Nuaimi, 1999). The increase in relative growth rate and net assimilation rate in the fertilization treatment (organic + fungi) may be due to the benefits of adding VA-mycorrhiza to the soil as mentioned by El-Shaikh and Mohamed, (2009) and El-Shaikh et al, (2018).…”

“…Eifediyi and Remison (2009), indicated that increasing the rates of inorganic fertilizers leads to high fruit yield in the cucumber crop. The increase in all characteristics related to the fruit yield in the fertilization treatment (organic + bacteria) may be due to the multiple benefits of adding bacteria to the soil as mentioned by El-Shaikh and Mohamed, (2009) and El-Shaikh et al, (2018).…”

“…stay away from everything that is industrial in plant nutrition and return to feeding with natural organic fertilizers as well as the use of natural organic fertilizers has a much better effect than inorganic fertilizers for increasing fruit quality (Yousif, 2011;Aly, 2002). El-Shaikh and Mohamed, (2009) and El-Shaikh et al, (2018), mentioned some of the benefits of adding VA-mycorrhiza fungi to the soil, facilitating the phosphorous component through the secretion of phosphatase enzyme, the hyphae of the VA-mycorrhiza fungi absorb phosphorous by 60 times more than the roots of the normal plant, as the fungi extend in the soil to great depths that may reach to 10 meters and act as absorbers to collect and absorb nutrients and water from far depths and the roots of plants treated with VA-mycorrhiza live for long periods, active in the absorption and in a young state. The benefit of adding Bacillus bacteria to the soil is secreting the phytohormones such as indole acetic acid and cytokinin, which encourage increased growth and yield.…”

“…It also secretes organic acids, which lead to a change in the pH, and facilitate the micro-elements such as (iron -zinc -manganese -boron -copper). In addition, facilitating phosphorous from the major elements through the secretion of the phosphatase enzyme, which breaks the phosphate bond fixed to it as a result of the alkalinity of the soil and transforms it into an easy form for absorption by the plant Mohamed, 2009 andEl-Shaikh et al, 2018). The benefits of adding biochar to sandy lands include improving soil properties and then increasing productivity in plants, as well as reducing pollution, carbon storage, and energy production (Kim et al, 2014 andLi et al, 2021).…”

Effect of Different Inorganic Fertlizers and Bio Fertilizers on Growth, Yield and Quality of Okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L. Moench )

“…It is constituent of protoplasm of chlorophyll and coenzyme. It plays an important role in synthesis of Auxin [7][8][9]. While Phosphorus can increase the disease resistance, enhance new cell formation and necessary for root development and required for formation and maturity of grain.…”
