| Abstract: | Crops belonging to family Cucurbitaceae are generally known as “cucurbits”. As a group, cucurbits occupy the largest area in India and in other tropical countries. Cucurbits are rich source of calories, minerals and vitamins. The seeds of cucurbits are valued for high oil and protein contents. Seed proteins of cucurbits are comparable to that of legumes and are richer in methionine. Cucurbits respond well to the application of plant growth regulators. To enhance productivity and food safety, Indian Agriculture become more mechanized and science based by using inputs and the plant growth regulators are among of them; plant growth regulators have quicker impact on vegetative as well as yield of the crops. As it has various advantages like less time consuming to treat the plant and environment friendly. In cucurbits application of PGRs stimulates the growth by helping in elongation of the vines, boosts fruit setting, influences the morphological and growth parameters and helps the plants withstand disease related problems. The application of GA3 at low concentration affects the growth of plant and increases the growth parameters like number of male flower and appearance of first male flower. Auxin generally affects the growth and increase the number of branches and leaves. The application of etheral influenced sex ratio by increase the number of female flower and suppressed male flowers which ultimately increases the yield parameters. Exogenous application of PGRs effect on endogenous hormone of plant which alter the physiological processes of the plant. Various types of plant growth regulators in recommended concentrations give better growth, early flowering and minimum sex ratio, highest fruit yield with superior quality of fruit. Mostly, the growth regulator helps in the production of marketable fruit in minimum number of days. Different PGRs applications showed significant effect on stem length, number of branches, total number of flower, fruiting, yield and other yield contributing characters. It is obvious that changes in the level of endogenous hormones due to biotic and abiotic stress alter the crop growth and any sort of manipulation including exogenous application of growth substances would help for yield improvement or at least sustenance of the crop. Hormones usually move within plant from a site of production to site of action. Phytohormones are physiological intercellular messengers that are needed to control the complete plant lifecycle from germination to death of the plant. In addition, plant hormones are secreted in response to environmental factors such as abundance of nutrients, drought conditions, light, temperature, chemical or physical stress. Hence, levels of hormones will change over the lifespan of a plant and are dependent upon season and environment. Use of growth regulators in cucurbits production must be specific in their action and should be toxicologically and environmentally safe. From this review it has been concluded that PGRS regulate physiological process to the cucurbit crop plants like rooting, flowering, growth, sprouting, ripening and use of PGRS in cucurbits production found to be beneficial for yield and yield contributing characters. |
