Other claims from this paper (18)
- Association Growth and yield of cucumber were significantly influenced by the levels of ethephon and pruning.
- Intervention effect Ethephon at 125 ppm gave the highest cucumber yield, 83.54 t/ha.
- Intervention effect 3G pruning gave cucumber yield comparable to ethephon at 125 ppm, 72.57 t/ha.
- Intervention effect Ethephon at 125 ppm gave a significantly higher number of fruits per plant, 18.33.
- Intervention effect 3G pruning gave a significantly higher number of fruits per plant, 15.67.
- Intervention effect 3G pruning gave a higher average fruit weight of 674 g.
- Intervention effect Ethephon at 125 ppm gave an average fruit weight of 608 g.
- Intervention effect 3G pruning gave a higher fruit set of 30.66 %.
- Intervention effect Ethephon at 125 ppm gave a fruit set of 24.93 %.
- Observation Cucumber plant height was significantly higher in the control.
- Intervention effect Ethephon at 125 ppm gave the highest number of leaves per plant, 40, at 50 DAT.
- Intervention effect 2G pruning gave the largest leaf area, 626.84 cm2, at 50 DAT.
- Intervention effect 3G pruning gave a leaf area of 613.31 cm2 at 50 DAT, at par with 2G.
- Intervention effect Ethephon at 500 ppm delayed first male flowering, by 47.87 days.
- Intervention effect Ethephon at 375 ppm delayed first male flowering, by 47.17 days.
- Intervention effect All ethephon doses hastened female flowering compared with control and pruning.
- Intervention effect Increasing ethephon level increased the number of female flowers and the M:F flower ratio compared with pruning and control.
- Recommendation Appropriate ethephon at 125 ppm and 3G pruning are recommended for better cucumber growth, sex expression and yield.
