Evaluate The Effect of Different Concentrations of Gibberelin (GA3) on The Gemination and Early Seedling Growth of F1 Hybird Cucumber Cucumis sativus in Malaysia
Abstract
Conditions and factors that can influence the development of cucumber cultivation in Malaysia are climate and soil because Malaysia has a warm and humid climate, ideal for growing cucumbers. Farmers' cultivation methods often use hydroponic techniques and planting systems in open fields. Providing gibberellin to cucumber plants can be a solution to overcome several problems that cause suboptimal production. Objective: This study aims to evaluate the effect of different concentrations of gibberellin (GA3) on the germination and initial growth of F1 hybrid cucumber seeds. This research method was prepared in a Non-Factoral Completely Randomized Design (CRD) in 4 replications which were repeated once. The first factor is without concentration (control), (200 ppm), (500 ppm), (800 ppm). The gibberellin concentration can significantly influence all cucumber growth parameters, except for the root length of cucumber plants. The best treatment is P3 (500 ppm).
