Effect of Humo Backter-A and spraying the GPR (Quick) on growth and yield of Squash (Cucurbita pepo L.) under green house conditions

Abstract

A factorial experiment was conducted during the season of  2013/2014 in green house to study the effect of HumoBackter-A at 4 liveles (0,1,2,3) ton.hectar^-1 A and spraying the GPR (Quick) (0 , 0.05)  on growth and yield of Squash var. Carisma, by using R.C.B.D design with 4 replicates.

Results showed that the addition of HumoBackter-A, spraying the GPR (Quick) or their interaction had a significant effect on growth and yield, but the highest average of plant length, stem thick, leaves number, leaf area , fruit number, fruit weight, total yield per plant and hectar realized at the intraction of  3 ton of HumoBackter-A./ha^-1 with Quick which gave 78.75cm , 22.25 leaf , 141.04 dec², 14.25 fruit, 137.04 gm, 1.953 kg.plant^-1 and 37.50 ton. hectar^-1 respectively while the control treatment gave the lowest average of these properties.
