Abstract

A factorial experiment was conducted in green house in clay loam soil, according to randomized
complete block design, to study the effect of seaweed extract applied as a foliar spray concentra on (0,
1.0, 2.5, 4.0 and 5.5) ml.l-1 with or without mixture of fungus mycorrhiza (Glomus fasciculatum +
Acoulospora laevis) on growth and yield of cucumber. The plant length, fresh weight, dry weight,
percentage of total chlorophyll, leave area, number of fruits, yield per plant and total yield was found
maximum at 2.5 ml.l-1 seaweed extract with fungus mycorrhiza compared to other concentration and
increase significant (14.65, 112.32, 59.21, 15.97, 27.26, 52.28, 82.42 and 82.46%) respec vely.
