Abstract
To evaluate the foliar application of the Quitomax® biostimulant in Cucumis sativus crop, an experiment was developed at the municipality of Pinar del Río province, Cuba, under protected crop conditions. The treatments consisted in applying 300 and 500 mg.ha-1 10 and 25 days after transplantation (ddt) and a commercial Bayfolan Forte® control. A randomized design with four long replicates was used and variables such as height and thickness of the plant stem of Cucumis sativus, number of total fruits, fruit mass and number of exportable quality fruits were measured during five harvest times (32, 39, 46, 60 and 67 ddt). The results showed that the higher concentration of Quitomax® applied (500 mg.ha-1) in the two growth moments produces the highest values for the growth variables and the highest exportable quality fruits.
