Abstract: Yield of cucumbers ( Cucumis sativus L.), grown in an isolated field where pollination was reduced by rogueing plants with staminate flowers, was increased by treatment with 50 or 100 ppm triiodobenzoic acid (TIBA). Parthenocarpic fruit development was induced in the greenhouse by treating plants with 0.1 - 100 ppm TIBA. The no. of fruit per plant and the site of parthenocarpic fruit development were dependent on growth regulator concn.
