Study of Different Concentrations of Sodium Para-Nitrophenolate on Growth, Sex Ratio and Yield of Cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) cv. - Pusa Barkha
Abstract
The field experiment was conducted during 2018 and 2019 at Krishi Vigyan Kendra, College of Agriculture, Gwalior. Study the effect of different concentrations of Sodium para – Nitrophenolate on growth, sex ratio and yield of cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) cv. – Pusa Barkha”. The trail was laid out in randomized block design with eight treatments and three replications. The treatments consist of different concentrations of Sodium para – Nitrophenolate and a control. Results divulge that the application of Sodium para – Nitrophenolate @ 5000 ppm significantly increased growth, sex ratio and yield parameters viz., number of branches per plant, days taken to first male, female and 50% flowering, fruit yield per ha (q/ha) etc. as compared to control.
