Summary

The effects on local cucumbers of supplementary mineral fertilizers over an initial field dressing of 30 tonnes of poultry manure and 4 tonnes of lime/ha, were determined on tropical peat soil in Brunei. Significant yield increases were obtained with supplementary N up to 280 kg/ha but not with K/Mg above the basal rates 78/10 kg/ha. The highest yields exceeded 50 tonnes/ha of marketable fruit, obtained over a 9-week growing period.
