To evaluate the foliar application of the Quitomax® biostimulant in Cucumis sativus crop, an experiment was developed at the municipality of Pinar del Río province, Cuba, under protected crop conditions. The treatments consisted in applying 300 and 500 mg.ha-1 10 and 25 days after transplantation (ddt) and a commercial Bayfolan Forte® control. A randomized design with four long replicates was used and variables such as height and thickness of the plant stem of Cucumis sativus, number of total fruits, fruit mass and number of exportable quality fruits were measured during five harvest times (32, 39, 46, 60 and 67 ddt). The results showed that the higher concentration of Quitomax® applied (500 mg.ha-1) in the two growth moments produces the highest values for the growth variables and the highest exportable quality fruits.

Impacts of various concentrations of salicylic acid (SA) on cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) seedling characteristic were evaluated under different water stress levels by using a factorial arrangement based on completely randomized design with three replications at experimental greenhouse of Ferdowsi University of Mashhad, Iran. The studied factors included three water deficit levels (100% FC, 80% FC, and 60% FC) considered as first factor and five levels of SA concentrations (0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, and 1 mM) as second factor. Results showed that foliar application of SA at the highest concentration enhanced leaf area, leaf and dry weight while decreased stomatal conductance under high level of water deficit stress. Though, severe water deficit stress sharply raised the SPAD reading values. In general, exogenous SA application could develop cucumber seedling characteristic and improve water stress tolerance.

Salinity is an ancient environmental phenomenon and reflected as the most important process of land degradation. It is widespread at variable degrees across the world. A sand culture study was conducted in order to investigate the performance of exogenously applied triacontanol on two tolerant (Green long and Marketmore) and two sensitive (Summer green and 20252) genotypes of cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) under salinity stress (NaCl 50 mM). The foliar application of triacontanol was carried out @ 0.20, 0.40, 0.60, 0.80, 1.00 and 1.20 mg L-1. Salinity caused significant reduction in growth rate, gas exchange and other physiological attributes. Results revealed that triacontanol seemed to relieve the harmful impact of salt stress by improving morpho-physiological attributes and decreasing membrane leakage. Genotypes Green long and Marketmore performed better under salt stress regarding all studied parameters than Summer green and 20252. However, foliar feeding of triacontanol significantly enriched the efficiency of sensitive genotypes under saline conditions. The highest values of different attributes of cucumber plants were observed with foliar application of 0.80 mg L-1 triacontanol. Hence, triacontanol can be effectively used as a mitigating agent to alleviate phytotoxic effects in plants under saline stress.

ABSTRACT: Persistence of an herbicide is defined as the ability to maintain the integrity of its molecule and chemical, physical, and phytotoxic properties in the environment where it was applied. Knowledge of persistence has implications both for the toxicity generated on species grown in succession and for the period in which the herbicide controls weeds. This study aimed to assess the persistence of the herbicide saflufenacil in an Oxisol by means of bioassays. Two experiments with the application of 29.4 g ha-1 of saflufenacil were carried out under field conditions: the first in the 2011/2012 season and the second in the 2012/2013 season. Soil samples were collected at depths of up to 10 cm at different times after application. Subsequently, two bioassays were carried out in a greenhouse by using beet (Beta vulgaris L.) and cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) as bioindicators. The studies were carried out in a completely randomized design with four replications. Treatments consisted of periods after saflufenacil application (0, 5, 10, 15, 25, 35, 50, and 100 days). The crop was also considered as a factor. Stand, height, and phytotoxicity of plants were assessed in both agricultural seasons at 14, 21, and 28 days after sowing (DAS), as well as shoot fresh (SFM) and dry matter (SDM) at 28 DAS. In general, saflufenacil persistence was between 25 and 35 days. Beet was more sensitive to the presence of saflufenacil in the soil when compared to cucumber. Herbicide effects were higher in the 2012/2013 season when compared to the 2011/2012 season.

Salinity Levels

Salinity is expected to be the major destructive abiotic stress that causes ionic and oxidative damage leading to growth reduction and ultimately plant death. Glutamic acid (GA) is an α-amino acid that is used by almost all living beings in the biosynthsis of proteins. Therefore, in the present study, we tried to investigate the effect of foliar application of glutamic acid (GA) on cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) under altered salinity levels. Cucumber seedlings were grown in plastic pots under greenhouse conditions by applying four levels of salinity (0, 3 dS/m, 6 dS/m and 12 dS/m) and two levels of foliar applied GA (0, 10 mM). Salinity was induced by mixing the salt and soil before seed sowing; however, exogenous GA was applied when the vine length was reached up to maximum height. Morphological characters showed disruptive response under saline conditions especially in indigenous cultivar (local cucumber represented as V1). Enhanced activities of superoxide dismutase (0.29 u g-1 FW), guaiacol peroxidase (3.51 u g-1 FW) and ascorbate peroxidase (0.39 µmol AsA.mg-1 Chl min-1) were observed in salt-stressed cucumber leaves. Both varieties showed unusual behavior for malondialdehyde in decreasing manner with increasing salinity levels (2.0333 µmol g-1 FW at 12dS/m in local cultivar; while, 1.98 µmol g-1 FW at 12dS/m in hybrid cultivar SSC-228). However, exogenously applied GA played a beneficial role in promoting all morphological parameters under stress with increasing scavenging abilities against reactive oxygen species. Foliar application of GA improved plant defense mechanism with minimum destruction. Remarked calculations showed that under salt stress, GA improved plant stress tolerance against salinity by maximizing the growth rate.

A field experiment was carried out in the region of Sirte, Libya follows completely randomized design with five replicate to evaluate the potential of seed presoaking in different concentrations of gibberellins (0, 5μg/ml, 10 μg/ml and 20μg/ml) on cucumber growth, flowering, and yield. Application of gibberellin (GA3) significantly increased epicotyls length, and plant height (cm) during flowering and at the end of the experimental period compared to the control plants. Moreover, application of GA3 concentration inducing flowering decreased staminate flower number and increased pistillate flower number. Additionally, the promotive effect of GA3 concentration on plant growth and flowering attributes was accompanied by increased yield and its components. The results clearly showed that the foliar application of 10µg/ml GA proved to be the best choice for growing cucumber in terms of growth and yield attributes.
