Effect of Plant Growth Regulators on chlorophyll content, nitrate reductase activity and sugar content in cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.)

Merentoshi

Abstract :

 A field experiment was conducted to study the effect of plant growth regulators on various biochemical parameters viz.,chlorophyll content, nitrate reductase activity and sugar content in cucumber cv. Belgaum Local. Foliar application of GA3 @ 50 ppm was found to be superior in all the characters compared to other treatments. However, at 40 DAS, both chlorophyll content and nitrate reductase activity in leaves did not differ significantly, though there was an increase in its content due to application of growth regulators. The sugar content in fruits also increased significantly with GA3 @ 50 ppm and CCC @ 500 ppm compared to all the treatments.
