Abstract
The investigation aimed at examining the changes in growth and photosynthetic activity of greenhouse-grown cucumber plants subjected to various fertilization regimes. The plants were subjected to the following treatments: standard fertilization with nutrient solution (control), foliar treatments with two fertilizers (complete or nitrogenous), without any fertilization (non-fertilized plants). The plants without fertilization were supplied with water only. Lack of fertilization resulted in the reduction of net photosynthesis and leaf chlorophyll content. The lowest rates of photosynthesis and leaf chlorophyll content were observed in the non-fertilized cucumber plants. Also, retardation in plant growth was evident in this group of plants as a result of nutrient deficiency. Foliar application of complete fertilizer (Agroleaf Power Total) had a pronounced effect on photosynthesis and growth of cucumber plants. On the other hand, the plants sprayed with nitrogenous fertilizer (Basfoliar 36 Extra) assimilated with low intensity, and their vigor did not differ significantly from that recorded for plants supplied with water only (non-fertilized).
