Abstract

This experiment was conducted in the plastic house condition at the agricultural research station/college of Agriculture/Al-Muthanna University/Al-Bandar region during the winter season of 2023-2024 to assess the response of Sahara cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) to bio fertiliser and plant extract spraying. Yeast suspension and licorice extract were the two factors included in the study. The control treatment was T0, which was without addition. The other two treatments were T1 and T2, which were administered at a concentration of 5 g L-1 and 10 g L-1, respectively. The second factor is the addition of Azotobacter chroococcum, with two levels: M0 (Control treatment) and M1: 5 g of Azotobacter chroococcum Plant-1. At a probability level of 0.05, the means were compared using the L.S.D. test. A randomised complete block design (R.C.B.D.) with three replications was employed to conduct a factorial experiment
