Abstract | ||||
Two field experiments were conducted during season of 2017and 2018growth seasons at Vegetable Private Farm of Shiba Distrect ,Zagazig Sharkia, Governorate, Egypt to study the effect of some treatments (control , Farmyard manure ,at 4m3/fad, dry yeast at 5 g/l, and vitamin C at200mg /l and ethrel concentrations ( 0 , 100 , 200 and 300ppm ) , and their interactions on plant growth (Cucurbita pepo cv. Zuccini), flowering traits , fruits yield and quality of squash plant. These treatments were laid out in split plot design arrangement with three replications. The treatments of organic manure, ascorbic acid were randomly distributed in main plots, while the ethrel concentration was randomly arranged in sub – plots .The summarized results obtained from this district study that, foliar spray of dry yeast at 5 g/l, being the most effective on vegetative growth characters , chemical composition of leaves, female flowers, fruit yield and quality of squash. Moreover, the concentration of 200 ppm ethrel, caused an increases in the all abovementioned characters of squash. In addition, the interaction between dry yeast at 5 g/l and 200 ppm ethrel came to the same trend in most of characters of squash plants Conclusively,obtained results indicate that foliar spray of dry yeast being the most effective on vegetative growth characters, chemical composition of leaves, number of female flowers, fruit yield and quality. Moreover, application ethrel at the concentration of 200 ppm caused an effective increase in all above mentioned parameters. In addition, the combination treatment between spraying dry yeast at the rate 5 g/l and ethrel at the concentration of 200 ppm came to the same effective trend in most studied characters of squash plants. | ||||
