| Abstract: |
The field experiment was conducted to know the yield performance of cucumber var. Bhaktapur Local with
the application of plant growth regulators (PGRs) in the farmers’ field of Lamjung, Nepal during September to
November, 2013. Five treatments (Four PGRs; NAA @10 ppm, GA3 @ 50ppm, GA3
@100ppm, MH@ 60ppm
and distilled water as control) were replicated six times under walk-in plastic tunnel. The experiment was laid
out in randomized complete block design. The first 30 flowers of each plant were used for the observation. PGRs
were sprayed in 2-4 true leaf stage of seedling, 20 days after first spray and 10 days after second spray. The
research revealed that NAA @ 10 ppm had higher effect in sex expression, fruit set and yield than rest of the
treatments.GA3
@ 100 ppm had significantly higher number of male flowers and more vine growth than other
treatments. Branch per plant was obtained as the highest with MH @60 ppm followed by NAA @10 ppm. The
marketable fruit yield was significant with NAA @10 ppm followed by MH@ 60 ppm, GA3
@50 ppm, GA3
@100 ppm than control. It is concluded that thermo-sensitive variety of cucumber Bhaktapur Local can be grown
with the use of plant growth regulators particularly, NAA@ 10 ppm, under walk-in plastic tunnels during the
autumn-winter season in the mid hills of Nepal.The research further indicated that cucumber can be a profitable
and a potential agriculture enterprise for the area. |
