The paper presents the experimental results of using some ecological fertilizers and their effect on the cucumber crop from an ecological/organic agricultural system. Seven fertilizers were used: Funres, Blocks, A. lipoferum, A. chroococcum, B. megaterium, Rom-Agrobiofertil NP, Cropmax, by comparison with control (untrated). The least plants affected by the disease P. lachrymans attack are found in the variant treated with A. lipoferum (V3), with a percentage of 12%. It was observed that the highest ratio between the number of fruits and the number of plants was identified in the variant treated with Rom-Agrobiofertil NP (V6) and it is 66 fruits to 33 plants, namely 2:1.
