Abstract
An experiment was conducted during the season from March 2018 – June 2018 at the Horticulture farm of Lovely Professional University, Phagwara (Punjab). The three replications of the experimental trial used a randomized block design. Eleven alternative approaches were used in the trial. Based on the findings of the experimental trial, it was possible to concluded that the treatment T8 GA3 (100ppm) had a significant impact on the growth and phenological parameters of the cucumber, including the number of branches, leaf area, days to the first flowering, and days to 50% flowering. However, the longest vine and the greatest internodal distance were seen in treatment T7 GA3 (50ppm).
