Abstract
Amitt Omar Mohamed Molty El-Ditt. Using of greenhouse waste as soil substrate unpublished master of science in Environmental Agricultural Science, Ain shams University, Institute of Environmental Studies and Research, Agriculture .Department 1997.
This Work was conducted to evaluate some physical and chemical properties of different soil substrates and substrate mixtures including bulk density, total pore space, available water, available air, pH value and cation exchange capacity. Also the effect of substrate composition on germination percentage, germination rate, seedling height, dry weight, fresh weight micronutrients and macronutrient concentration in cucumber seedlings were
studied.
.
Four greenhouses were used to evaluate the impact of different organic
wastes application on cucumber growth, yield, plant height, leaf area, number of leaves and number of fruits per plant, concentration of some macro and micro nutrients in cucumber shoots and fruits, uptake of macro and micronutrients by cucumber shoots and fruits.
Results showed that m1xmg greenhouse waste with peatmoss and vermiculite improved physical and chemical properties of the media and germination rate percentage, seedling height, fresh and dry weight and macro nutrient concentration.
The, results also showed that application of different organic wastes (compost. and chicken manure) increased cucumber shoots and fruits yield. The highest yield was fluctuated between chicken manure and compost application . Macro and micronutrients concentration and uptake increased with application of organic wastes. Although concentration and uptake of heavy metals have been increased due to application of different organic wastes, yet it did not exceed the acceptable limits yet .
