<![CDATA[This study aimed to evaluate the effects of banana-peel bokashi, NPK Phonska 15:15:15 fertilizer, and their interaction on the growth and yield of cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.). The experiment was conducted from February to June 2025 at the experimental field of the Faculty of Agriculture, Madako University Tolitoli, Tambun Village, Tolitoli Regency, Central Sulawesi, Indonesia. A factorial randomized block design was used with two factors. Banana-peel bokashi was applied at 0, 200, and 400 g plant⁻¹, while NPK Phonska was applied at 0, 4, and 6 g plant⁻¹. The nine treatment combinations were replicated three times, resulting in 27 experimental units. Observed variables included plant height, number of leaves, flowering time, fruit number, fruit length, fruit weight, and fruit diameter. The B2P2 combination (400 g plant⁻¹ bokashi and 6 g plant⁻¹ NPK Phonska) produced the highest reported values for several parameters: plant height at 4 weeks after planting (WAP), 87.36 cm; number of leaves at 4 WAP, 29.13; flowering time, 30.13 days after planting (DAP); fruit number, 11.00; fruit weight, 790.07 g; and fruit diameter, 77.91 mm. Fruit length was reported as 27.86 cm in the results section, while the thesis conclusion states 26.87 cm; this discrepancy should be checked against the original data table. Overall, the combined application showed potential to improve cucumber growth and yield under the conditions of this experiment.]]>
