“…This may be due to gibberellins induce early flowering when compared to NAA delayed the flowering with lower doses when compared to higher doses of NAA i.e., it enhances the cell division. Similar results were recorded by Dalai et al [7].…”

The present investigation entitled “Effect of foliar application of Plant Growth Regulators on Growth, Yield and Fruit Quality of Watermelon (Citrullus lanatus T.)” was conducted at Horticulture Research farm, Department of Horticulture, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture Technology and Sciences, Prayagraj during Zaid season 2021 on watermelon with plant growth regulators viz., NAA (45,60ppm) GA3 (25,50 ppm) and Control (water spray). The experiment was laid out in Factorial Randomized Block Design (FRBD) consisting of 10 treatments with 3 replications. The results concluded that in variety TMWH-2786 with treatments T5(GA3@50ppm) performed superior in the following parameters viz., days to germination (6-7 days) survival percentage (99.5%), vine length (5.77 m), days to the appearance of the first pistillate flower in 50% of plants (44.7 days), days to first harvest (93.73 days), fruit size in longitudinal shape (28.6 cm), maximum fruit weight (2.26 kg), number of marketable fruits per plant (2.11 fruits), maximum yield per hectare (31.78 tons), fruit diameter (30 cm) and TSS (10.5 ͦ Brix) was recorded.

Protected cultivation provides a means to mitigate abiotic and biotic stresses, enabling crop production even in adverse climates. A field experiment was carried out from March to May 2022 at the Horticulture Research Field in the Department of Horticulture, Naini Agricultural Institutes, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology & Sciences, Prayagraj (U.P.) India, the effects of the treatment TA41 on hybrid cucumber were investigated. The experiment was entitled as “Effect of TA41 on growth, yield and fruit quality of hybrid cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) under protected condition” with randomized block design (RBD) with three replications and ten treatments. The experiment results revealed that hybrid cucumber performed extremely well under protected condition with respect to growth, earliness, yield and quality parameters. While taking the observation it was seen that in growth parameters, earliness and yield parameters, the highest values were recorded significantly maximum in treatment T8: Soil drenching of TA41 @ 25 ml/lt. + Foliar spray of TA41 @ 45 ml/lt. while comparing the qualitative parameters the highest values were recorded significantly maximum in treatment T4: Soil drenching of TA41 @ 15 ml/lt. + Foliar spray of TA41 @ 25 ml/lt. The benefit:cost ratio was obtained highest in treatment T4 (3.53). Besides, this hybrid also proved to be the best in terms of disease resistance and profitability. This study contributes valuable insights into the benefits of protected cultivation and the potential of TA41 for improving cucumber production. The findings have practical implications for growers, providing them with evidence-based recommendations to enhance their crop yields, quality, disease resistance, and profitability.

“…The weight of fruit decreased as GA 3 doses decreased up to 10 ppm and fruit yield result highest per plant when NAA doses up to 150 ppm. Consequently, combined application of GA 3 @ 20ppm + NAA @ 100ppm was found to be superior in fruit yield of cucumber (Dalai et al, 2020). Higher concentration of ethrel and MH decreased average fruit yield.…”

“…Female flowers per plant and sex ratio are flowering parameters which determine the net production potential of plants. Minimum sex ratio is resulted by combined dose of GA 3 and NAA which increases functional female organ and affinity besides lowering the embryo termination in plant (Dalai et al, 2020). The application of MH 450μM/l helps in lowering the sex ratio which enhanced the production of IAA hormone that increases the number of pistillate flowers.…”

“…Translocation and photosynthetic activity is accelerated by the application of GA 3 which resulted in improved cell elongation, rapid cell division, and finally shortened fruit maturation period (Al-Sanoussi, 1970). When cucumber was sprayed with combined dose of GA 3 @ 200ppm and NAA @ 100ppm, the highest number of fruits per plant was obtained with maximum fruit width and length (Dalai et al, 2020). At the treatment of GA 3 , NAA, and its combination, Singh et al (2015) founded that application of GA 3 @ 20ppm and NAA @ 100ppm combined produced maximum number of fruit per plant (10.34) and maximum length and diameter of fruit whereas control treatment produced lowest number of fruit per plant 5.25).…”

This review provides a comprehensive overview of the basic and applied aspects of different plant growth regulators in the regulation of growth and development of cucumber plants. The study is completely based on the use of secondary sources of data; related journals, government institutes, and relevant reports. Foliar application of PGRs has been shown to change the physiological and developmental processes, including plant vegetative growth, sex expression, yield, and yield components in cucumber. There are basically two types of growth regulators; plant growth promoters such as auxin, gibberellins, cytokinins, maleic hydrazide, ethephon, etc. and plant growth inhibitors such as ethylene, abscisic acids, dormins, etc. The combined use of auxins and gibberellins result in increased secondary growth. Maleic hydrazide (MH) along with Ethephon at 100 ppm each increases the number of nodes and primary branches. Ethrel at 300-400 ppm retards the secondary development and increase femaleness, and at 200-300 ppm make fruit surface smooth. Silver nitrate (AgNO3) at 400 ppm enhances the maleness in cucumber. Application of Ethephon at 300 ppm reduces the harvesting time of the fruit. Salicylic acid (at 2 doses of 0.07 mm/l + 0.18 mm/l) increases chlorophyll content and its exogenous application increases the fruit yield. Maleic Hydrazide (MH) alone at 100 ppm increases the femaleness, inhibits apical growth at 50-100 ppm, and increases fruit size at 200 ppm. Therefore, various auxin [indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), NAA], auxin transport inhibitor (TIBA), cytokinins (KIN), gibberellin [gibberellic acid (GA3)], ABA, ethylene [(2-chloroethylphosphonic acid (ethrel; ethephon; CEPA)] and growth retardant (MH) have been applied to control the vegetative growth and to maximize yield of cucumber. Numerous obstacles have hindered the quality cucumber production in Nepal; like environmental stresses, biotic and abiotic constraints, pest and disease outbreaks, and many others. The use of exogenous plant growth regulators has been crucial to Nepali cucumber producers as plant growth regulators has hasty effect on vegetative as well as the quality yield of plants. This study aims to reveal the suitable concentrations for the applications of growth regulators so that the use of such regulators is environmentally and toxicologically safe for both plants and the consumers.
