The experiment was conducted in Randomized Block Design (RBD), with nine treatments, replicated thrice of organic and inorganic fertilizers. the treatments were T0 (Control (Recommended dose of NPK 100:80:100 kg/ha)), T1 (Neem Cake 75% + NPK 25%), T2 (Neem Cake 50% + NPK 50%), T3 (Vermicompost 75% + NPK 25%), T4 (Vermicompost 50% + NPK 50%), T5 (Sheep Manure 75% + NPK 25%), T6 (Sheep Manure 50% + NPK 50%), T7 (Vermicompost 50% + Sheep Manure 25% + NPK 25%) and T8 (Vermicompost 25% + Sheep Manure 25% + Neem Cake 25% + NPK 25%). From the present experimental findings it is found that the treatment T8 Vermicompost (25%) + Sheep Manure (25%) + Neem Cake (25%) + NPK (25%)) was found superior over other treatments in terms of growth, yield and Quality of Cucumber, followed by treatment T7 (Vermicompost (50%) +Sheep Manure (25%) + NPK (25%)), in terms of economics maximum Gross return, Net Return and Cost Benefit ratio was also recorded in treatment T8 and lowest readings was recorded in T3 (Vermicompost (75%) + NPK (25%)).
