Abstract

A study was carried out to investigate the effect of 3 levels of methyl jasmonate (0.25, 0.5 and o.75) and 2 levels of potassium nitrate (4 and 6 mM) spray on the plant growth and quality parameters of cucumber. The application of methyl jasmonate and potassium nitrate alone or in combination had significant effect on cucumber vegetative growth, yield and its quality. Potassium nitrate application alone or in combination significant increased leaves-NK content, chlorophyll and dry weight. Methyl jasmonate application alone or in combination significant increased fruit quality of cucumber while reduced leaves-NK content, chlorophyll and dry weight. Regarding yield and yield components, a significant increased was observed when plants were spray with 0.25 mM methyl jasmonate +6 mM potassium nitrate. In general, the combination of 0.25 mM methyl jasmonate +6 mM potassium nitrate significantly increased the TSS, yield and vitamin C.
