Abstract

In this study, different levels of irrigation water, vermicompost and tea-pump were studied on cucumber greenhouse. The experiment was conducted as a split plot in a completely randomized, stacked design. The treatments consisted of three levels of compost tea (25, 50 and 75% vol.), Three levels of vermicompost (1, 1.5 and 2 kg / m2) and three levels of water stress (100, 75 and 50% plant water requirement) Was. Vermicompost was harvested before planting, and compost tea was sprayed on the plant in three stages (30 days, 60 days and 90 days after planting). The results showed that treatments had a significant effect on measured parameters including diameter, length and weight of fruit, plant height, yield and irrigation water productivity at 5% probability level. Reducing water consumption reduced yield and yield components, but there was no significant difference between treatments of 100 and 75% of the water requirement of the plant. The interaction effects of vermicompost, tea-pump and water stress indicate that using 75% water content, 75% vermicompost and compost tea reduce the effects of water stress. The interaction effects of vermicompost and tea-pump have shown that using 100% vermicompost to reduce the yield and its components should reduce the consumption of tea-pump to 50%. But when vermicompost is not used up, it is possible to increase the consumption of compost tea by up to 75%. Therefore, it can be concluded that the effects of vermicompost and its extract on plant growth depend on their concentration.
