The muskmelon (Cucumis melo L.) is also called as wholesome food, which belongs to the family cucurbitaceae. Previous studies demonstrated that the mechanism of sex expression in cucurbits is governed by genetic and environmental factors. The application of plant growth regulators has been found to be effective in initiating higher percentage of female flowers and by their modifying the sex ratio and ultimately resulting in more fruiting in cucurbits. Therefore, the goal of this study was to investigate the influences of gibberellic acid (GA3) and maleic hydrazide (MH) on the basis of growth,...
