Sex Expression in Cucumber Plants as Affected by 2-Chloroethylphosphonic Acid, Ethylene, and Growth Regulators

Abstract
The effects of 2-chloroethylphosphonic acid (Ethrel), ethylene, and some growth retardants on sex expression of cucumber plants (Cucumis sativus L.) were investigated, with the use of a monoecious cultivar (Improved Long Green) which has a strong tendency toward maleness.
