Abstract: (290 Views)
Calcium carbide (CaC2) is a good source of acetylene and ethylene, these compounds have an effective role on the physiological processes of plants and the expression of sex in cucumber. To investigate the effect of the method, amount and time of consumption of different levels of calcium carbide on the growth indicators and yield of monoicous cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.), a factorial experiment was conducted in the form of a randomized complete block design in three replications in a farm located in Galugah city of Mazandaran province. The treatments included different amounts of calcium carbide (zero, 5, 10, 15 g m2-) which were applied in three forms (solid, liquid and gas) and in three growth stages of the plant (4, 6 and 8 leaves). The results showed that the highest number of fruits and fruit yield with 30.4 and 3.08 kg plant-1 were obtained in the treatment of calcium carbide 15 g m2- by liquid method and at the time of six leaves, respectively. Also, the highest fresh weight of shoots and roots, plant height, leaf area, leaf nitrogen content and total chlorophyll content were observed in the calcium carbide treatment of 10 g m2- by gas method and at the time of six leaves. According to the obtained results, applying calcium carbide at the six-leaf stage with concentrations of 10 g m2- as a gas and 15 g m2- as a liquid increased the vegetative indicators and the yield of monoicous cucumber, respectively.
