Abstract

This study explores the effects of poultry manure and different cucumber cultivars on plant growth and yield. The experiment was conducted using a randomized complete block design with various levels of poultry manure (0, 3, and 6 tonnes per hectare) and several cucumber cultivars. Key growth parameters such as plant height, number of leaves, and fruit yield were monitored throughout the growing season.
