- Intervention effect Plant growth regulators had a negative effect on stem length and on the node for the first flower in cucumber.
- Intervention effect Plant growth regulators shortened the time to first flowering of male cucumber flowers compared with untreated plants? No: they lengthened it, male flowers needing more time.
- Intervention effect Plant growth regulators reduced the time to first flowering of female cucumber flowers compared with untreated plants.
- Intervention effect Plant growth regulators had a positive effect on fruit-related characters of cucumber.
- Intervention effect Ethephon 200 ppm gave the best result among the treatments for cucumber.
- Association Total yield of cucumber might increase with the number of branches.
- Association Total yield of cucumber might increase with the number of female flowers.
