“…Results presented in Table (4) show that Organic fertilization with mixed compost (O3) gave the highest fruit weight/plant (1.488 and 1.675) with increasing percentages (51.68 and 51.72%) in the 1 st and 2 nd season, respectively. Similar results reported by (Abd Allah et al, 2001;Aiyelaagbe, 2007;Moral et al 2005). Results presented in Table (4) show clearly that application of nitrogen fertilizer at the rate of 50 kg N/feddan, gave the highest fruit weight/plant (1.451 and 1.643) as compared with all other nitrogen levels in both seasons, respectively.…”

“…Moral et al (2005) reported that organic fertilizers (cattle manure and poultry manure) were as good as inorganic fertilizer for cucumber production. Aiyelaagbe (2007) showed that organic fertilizers (manure) (20 and 30 ton ha -1 ) increase the fruit weight of each sample and the fruit weight of cucumber plant. Various organic fertilizers were studied by some investigators; Law-Ogbomo et al (2018) used cattle and poultry manure, Moral et al (2005) used cattle manure and poultry manure, Natsheh and Mousa (2014) and Al-Magrebi (2015) used compost.…”

“…Gaber et al (2007) recorded that the interaction effects of biofertilizer types and nitrogen levels 60 and 90 kg N feddan -1 ) together, gave the highest mean values of most studied characters. Aiyelaagbe (2007) indicated that the combination of organic fertilizer (manure at a rate of 20 ton ha -1 and inorganic NPK + Micro Fertilizer results in the best fruit weight each plant of cucumber. Moreover, indicated that the combined treatment between bio-fertilizer and chemical fertilizer had significant effect and increased the yield and growth traits of cucumber.…”

The current study aims to rationalize the use of nitrogen fertilizer by using alternatives of biological and organic fertilizers and their interactions on cucumber crop productivity and quality. The experimental design was split split plot design with three replicates. Cucumber plants was tested under two bio-fertilizations (with and without), four types of compost (without, plant, animal and mixed compost) as well as three rates of mineral-N i.e., (25, 50, and 75 kg/feddan) (feddan = 4200 m 2 ). The main effect of biological, organic and N fertilization compared to non-fertilized showed a significant increase in cucumber yield, all crop components, and the percentage of TSS in cucumber fruits, in both seasons. Results indicated that the increase in cucumber crop productivity was estimated at (13.04%, 11.42%), (17.89%, 38.04%) and (43.83%, 55.69%) as a result of biological, organic and nitrogen fertilization in both seasons, respectively. Despite the superiority of the intervention treatment containing 4 ton/feddan, (mixed compost) + (mixed bio) + Mineral-N at a rate of 75 kg/feddan. Statistical analysis proved to apply 4 ton/feddan of (mixed compost) + (mixed bio) + Mineral-N at a rate of 50 kg/feddan, because there is no significant difference with mineral-N fertilization treatment.

“…The crop is locally produced and is consumed across the West African region. In Nigeria, majority of the total banana production comes from the southern part, particularly the South-South region [1,2]. Otuoke have recorded the highest production for the crop [3] and is regarded as banana kingdom.…”

Banana (Musa sapientum L.) cultivation in rural communities creates job opportunities and generates income. Soil nematodes, a major pest, can lead to yield loss and financial loss. To ensure sustainable production and food security, it's crucial to survey potential threats and identify incumbent nematode species. Identifying these species can help develop effective pest management strategies. A survey was carried out to determine the potential nematode species of threat to banana production in Otuoke community, Bayelsa State. The random sampling technique was employed and soil and roots from two banana mono-cultured vegetations were tested. The modified sieve plate technique was used for nematode extraction and nematode pictorial key was employed for nematode identification to genera level. A total of 438 nematodes representing 8 genera were identified, among which 51.4% occurred in farm 1 and 48.6% were reported from farm 2. Nematodes of significant economic interest reported in this survey were Meloidogyne species (23.1%), Pratylenchus species (18.5%), Ditylenchus species (15.3%), Helicotylenchus species (10.0%), Hemicyclophora species (9.8%), Rotylenchus species (9.1%), Radopholus species (8.4%) and Paratylenchus species (5.7%). The occurrence of nematodes against farm types displayed disparities which was indicative that nematodes survival strategy depends on the prevailing field conditions. The study revealed that nematodes compose a prominent pest group infesting banana in Otuoke and should be checked to ameliorate food security.
