The organic products can be integrated very easily into the treatment schemes, also act as biostimulators[. The experiment was performed under laboratory conditions. A number of seven variants were made and each variant in 3 repetitions. The number of seeds used in the variant was 150; 50 for each repetition. After five days the germination rate is 100% at V2 – Blocks 0,25%, V4 – Azotobacter chroococcum 1% and V5 – Bacillus megaterium 1%. At variants V1 – Funres 0,25%, V3 – Azospirillum lipoferum 1%, V6 – Rom-Agrobiofertil NP 3% the germination rate is 99%. In day three, the highest average cucumber seeds germination in all the treated variants was recorded. In conclusion the treated variants (V1-V6) had an average of the germinated seeds higher than the control variant (V7). The speed of germination of cucumber seeds in the variants treated with Funres (V1) and Azotobacter (V4) had the highest percentage (13,776%) on day three. A lower germination rate is observed in the V7 control variant (9,443%).
