Effects of plant stimulants and growth regulators in cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.)

This experiment was carried out to determine the effects of Cytozyme (5 ml/l), Respond (6.7 ml/l), Figaron (0.15 ml/l) and Multiprop (1 ml/l) on growth of Cucumis sativus cv. Híbrido Caipira AG-207. Cucumber plants were sprayed 10 days after germination, under greenhouse conditions. The results showed that Multiprop and Figaron delayed the flowering of the plants. Multiprop, Figaron and Cytozyme, at concentrations applied, reduced the height and dry matter production in relation to check. Respond not affected the growth of cucumber plants.
