Question 19:

A farmer grows cucumber plants in his field. He wants to increase the number of female flowers in them. Which plant growth regulator can be applied to achieve this?

Answer 1

Ethylene is also responsible to play a major roll in determining the sex of monoecious flowers and is associated with the promotions of femaleness in plants thus the farmer must spray ethylene hormone on this cucumber crop to produce female flowers and to increase the yield (number of fruits produced).
