Abstract: An investigation was carried out to study the “Effect of bio-degradable coated fertilizer briquettes and their application time on growth, yield, nutrient content and on soil properties of cucumber in lateritic soil of Konkan†was conducted during Kharif season 2013-2014 at Vegetable Improvement Scheme, Wakawali Pangari Block, Wakawali, Dist Ratnagiri. The experiment was laid out in factorial randomized block design with twelve treatments replicated thrice. The result indicated that the split application of tar coated KAB, 1/3rd at sowing, 1/3rd at 30 DAS and 1/3rd at 60 DAS to cucumber variety Sheetal was found beneficial in enhancing cucumber fruit yield. The treatment combination C3B3 i.e Tar coated fertilizer briquettes with three time application 1/3rd at sowing, 1/3rd at 30 DAS and 1/3rd at 60 DAS to cucumber variety Sheetal was found beneficial in enhancing cucumber fruit yield, girth of fruit, length of fruit and weight of fruit per vine, length of cucumber vine, nutrient content and soil properties.
