A Master's thesis at the University of Basrah Examines the Effect of Fish Protein Hydrolysate

A master's thesis at the College of Agriculture at the University of Basrah examined the effect of fish protein hydrolysate and its waste on the growth and storage yield of some female cucumber hybrids grown in unheated greenhouses in Basra.

The thesis of researcher Mohammed Khazal Bayat aimed to study the effect of fish waste on the yield and growth characteristics of some cucumber hybrids.

The thesis concluded that the Darina variety outperformed the rest of the varieties in most of the studied characteristics, and that the concentration of 6 g. L-1 of the protein hydrolysate was superior in giving the best characteristics of vegetative and floral growth and the highest yield, and that the use of a 3.5% transpiration inhibitor gave the least damage and weight loss to the fruits and improved their sensory characteristics.
