“…Whereas naphthalene acetic acid, either or in combination with others PGRs, does not give significant yield (Thappa et al, 2011). In poly house condition, the application of 100 ppm GA 3 produced maximum yield of 178.67 (q/ha) whereas minimum yield (160q/ha) obtained in control treatment (Kadi et al, 2018). Also, Larqué-Saavedra and Martin-Mex (2007) studied the effect of salicylic acid and reported that exogenous application of SA enhanced the fruit yield of cucumber.…”

“…And the number of fruit per plant were highest when ethephon @ 300 ppm was applied which also reduces the time required for harvesting fruit (Mir, 2019). Smooth surface of fruit was expressed by ethrel at 200 ppm or 300 ppm where as NAA, GA 3 exhibited rough surface and GA 3 applied @ 200 ppm resulted maximum fruit (Kadi et al, 2018). All the concentration of plant growth regulators help in the enhancement of the fruit yield per vine where as maximum fruit yield was recorded at the application of maleic hydrazide and ethephon each rate of 100ppm (Kaur et al, 2016).…”

“…The demand and supply for cucumber has been expeditiously increased in the last few years and now it is grown throughout the world using fields or greenhouse culture. It has a diploid chromosome number of 14, 2n= 14 (Kadi et al, 2018). Although it is very watery, with little flavor and not very nutritious, it is a common ingredients of salads and pickles, being valued primarily for its crisp texture and juiciness.…”

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.

“…It was reported that application of ethephon 250 ppm suppressed the internode elongation which resulted in stunted growth of cucumber (30). In addition, gibberellic acid like GA3 plays an important role in stem elongation of the plant (13,31). However, primary and secondary branches were significantly increased in all treatments.…”

Cucumber (Cucumis sativus) is becoming an essential part of the regular food menu for both health cautiousness and its dietary value over other foods. Availability of high yielding cucumber variety is one of the major obstacles for cucumber production in Bangladesh. Plant growth regulators (PGRs) play a significant role to alter the various type of physiological and morphological characters in cucumber. In this research, Bangladeshi local cucumber variety ‘Baromashi’ was used to observe the effect of PGRs on growth and yield-related characters. Four different treatments (Control: untreated plant, T1: maleic hydrazide 200 ppm, T2: ethephon 300 ppm and T3: NAA (1-naphthaleneacetic acid) 18 ppm) were used. Application of PGRs showed an increased number of primary and secondary branches however, negative effect on stem length and node for the first flower was also observed. PGRs showed the opposite effect on the time required for the first flowering where male flower needed more time and female flower required less time compared to the untreated plants. In the case of fruit-related characters, PGRs possessed positive effect and ethephon 200 ppm showed the best result among the treatments. Total yield might be directly related to the number of branches as well as with the number of female flowers in local cucumber variety.

A study on the effect of growth regulators on morphological parameters, phenology and yield of muskmelon under graded levels of moisture stress condition was carried out at College of Horticulture, Anantharajupeta. The experiment was laid out in two factorial completely randomized block design replicated thrice. Factor 1 comprised of three moisture stress levels imposed at 50 % flowering stage, T 1 -0 days water stress, T 2 -7 days water stress and T 3 -14 days water stress and Factor 2comprised of three foliar sprays, S 1water spray (Control), S 2 -Gibberellic acid (50 ppm), S 3 -Salicylic acid (0.5 mM). The results indicated that among the moisture stress levels, the morphological parameters and yield attributes were superior in plants not subjected to water stress. Among the foliar sprays tried, SA (0.5 mM) and GA 3 (50 ppm) improved the morphological and yield attributes compared to water spray. Under stress condition, the exogenous application of gibberellic acid @ 50 ppm and salicylic acid @ 0.5 mM was effective in mitigating the deleterious effect of drought stress in muskmelon.
