Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that the plants that were given single treatment with bokashi Kayambang had a very significant effect on plant height at 21 and 28 DAP, number of leaves at 14 DAP, fruit length and number of fruit. While the combination treatment of chicken manure with bokashi Kayambang did not occur in all the observed variables. Cucumber fruit production per hectare using chicken manure treatment 2 t ha-1 and bokashi Kayambang 15 t ha-1 resulted in a weight of 2,911, 6 kg -1
