Abstract

The goal of this study was to observe the impact of soil and frequencies of foliar spray of boron and ethephon on growth and yield of Cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) as two years field experiment in Central Farm of OUAT under coastal Odisha during 2020 and 2021. The information combine effect of ethephon and boron application is lacking, though their independent effect is well describe in cucumber cultivation. This is the new approve in this experiment. Cultivar Rohan used as planting material and was sown in rings of experimentally designed completely randomized block plots. Ethephon@300mg/l applied on all the treatments like T1- RDF (150-75-75):: N:P:K kg.ha-1 with zero boron (Control), T2- RDF+ B @1.0 kg soil application, T3- RDF+ FS @ 0.25% borax once, T4- RDF+ FS@ 0.5% borax once, T5- RDF+ FS@ 0.75% borax once, T6- RDF+ FS @ 1.0% borax once, T7- RDF+ FS@ 0.25% borax twice, T8- RDF+ FS@ 0.5% borax twice, T9- RDF+ FS @ 0.75% borax twice, and T10- RDF+ FS @ 1.0% borax twice, were use
