Abstract:
This experiment was carried out in Miaar Shaker village (Tartous) in agriculture season 2024 with the aim of studying the effect of spraying with salicylic acid on growth and productivity of cucumber plants in greenhouse. The design of the randomized complete sectors was followed and the experiment included 5 treatments and 4 replications. The results showed a significant increase in growth indicators when spraying with salicylic acid at a concentration of 400ppm compared to untreated control, as it led to an increase in plant height, number of leaves and leaf area, which reached to 202.8cm, 34.40 leaf.plant-1, 10616cm2, respectively compared to 188.6cm, 24.8 leaf.plant-1, 4529cm2, respectively for control plants. The use of salicylic acid at a concentration of 400ppm led to a significant increase in productivity which is (4.28 kg.plant-1) compared to (2.09 kg.plant-1) for control plants.
Keywords: Cucumber plants, Salicylic acid, Plant Growth, Production, Greenhouse.
