Descriptions
In order to study on the effect of Gibberellin on the cucumber plants, the experiment has been done, and the results are summarized as follows: 1. In the young stage of cucumber plant, the growth of leaves which was sprayed with Gibberellin was more promoted than that of the control. 2. In the last stage of the growth of cucumber, the number of the leaves on main stalk in the treated plot was almost the same with the control. 3. The growth of the branch of the treated plants was more vigorous than the control. 4. Number of the female flowers in the treated plot was almost the same with the control. But the flowering of male and female flowers appeared rather earlier in the treated cucumber plants.
