Abstract:

This research was performed to study the effects of 3 different microbial fertilizers (Lianchawang, Hugenbao and Trichoderma microbial fertilizers) on the growth, yield and quality of cucumber in greenhouse cultivation. The results showed that the microbial fertilizers improved greenhouse cucumber total biomass, stem diameter, leaf area index, leaf number, root activity and photosynthetic characteristics compared to the control, and also decreased nitrate salt content in greenhouse cucumber fruit. According to the input-output analysis, the microbial fertilizers could increase the profits compared to the control, especially 200 kg/hm2 of Trichoderma and Lianchawang microbial fertilizers. In general, Trichoderma microbial fertilizer was better compared to the others.
