Agronomic and Economic Effects of Varying Rates of Pig Manure on the Performance of Cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) in Ikorodu Agro Ecological Zone
ABSTRACT
This study was carried out to determine the effects of different levels of pig manure on the performance of cucumber (Cucumis sativus L). The experiment was laid out on Randomized Complete Block Design with six experimental treatments replicated three times. The treatments applied were 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25 t/ha-1. Data collected were vine length (cm), number of leaves, days to 50% flowering, weight of fruit (kg) number of fruits length of fruit (cm) and width of fruits (cm). The results show that 25 t/ha-1 pig manure significantly (p<0.05) has the highest yield, growth performance and cost effective than other treatments, therefore, it is recommended for the production of cucumber in Ikorodu Lagos.
