Abstract

• Fertilizer application is known to increase crop yields and mitigate net soil nutrient mining due to continuous removal. In this paper, the effect of three biofertilizers (C1, C2 and C3) containing (2:1:1), (1:2:1) and (1:1:2) in the ratio of chicken manure, coconut husk powder, rice husk ash and indigenous microorganisms is used as digestion agent. Cultivation of cucumber was carried out with three prepared biofertilizer with the help of fish amino acid as foliar spray and oriental herbal nutrient as insect repellent on low quality soil in Sidi Village, Bago Region. Physicochemical properties of ingredient of natural farming were measured. Field experiments were carried out at Sidi Village in Bago Region from 1st March 2022 to 15th April 2022. The effects of bio-fertilizers (C1, C2, C3 and Control) on growth, yield and plant morphology of cucumber were studied. In this study, the prepared biofertilizer “C1” is the best for cultivation of cucumber in summer. After harvesting, physicochemical properties, texture and nutrient values of the soil before and after cultivation were compared. Soil texture and nutrient values after cultivation were better than before cultivation. Therefore, the prepared biofertilizer C1 was used for treatment of low quality soil. This study concluded that application of biofertilizer significantly increases the yield, biomass production of the soil and was economically efficient.
