The effect of different quantities of NPK fertilizer and PGPR bacteria on A number of marketable fruits B fruit fresh weight C skin diameter D yield E firmness F fruit dry weight percent G cucumber diameter H root dry weight percent. Different levels of NPK fertilizers are a1 (50% = 1 g/L) a2 (75% = 1.5 g/L) and a3 (100% = 2 g/L) based on recommended amount of different growth levels of cucumber (vegetative growth, flowering, and fruiting). Values represent means of three replicates; bars represent standard deviation of the three replicates. Different letters within columns indicate significant differences according to Duncan’s Multiple Range Test (P ≤ 0.05)
