Effect of Foliar Application of GA₃ and NAA on Growth, Flower-Ing Yield and Yield Attributes of Cucumber [Cucumis Sativus L.])

An experiment was conducted at Horticultural Research Centre, SVPUAT, Meerut during 2014 to assess the effect of various doses of GA3, NAA and their combined dose. Total eight treatments were tried in RBD with three replications. Out of these, a dose of GA3 20 ppm + NAA 100 ppm was found significantly superior in terms of growth parameters i.e. Vine length plant⁻¹ (cm), Number of primary branches plant⁻¹, Number of leaves plant⁻¹, as compared to control and other applied treatment. Similarly, a positive effect was also reported in various flowering, yield and yield attributing characters with GA3 20 + NAA100 ppm. In context of yield a dose of GA3 20 + NAA 100 ppm was produced highest yield of cucumber as compared to control and other treatments during experimentation.
