Growth dynamics of the fruit of members of the Cucurbitaceae family

Abstract

In this article, the results of the research conducted to study the growth dynamics of the fruits of plants belonging to the Cucurbitaceae family, the fruit growth took place along a simple sigmoid curve: at first, the size and weight of the fruit increased exponentially, then this process slowed down, and it was given with an in-depth scientific analysis. It was noted that the ratio of fruit formation and ripening periods was 1:2 in "Uzbeksky 740" and "Margelansky 822" varieties of cucumber, and that the period of fruit formation in "Uzbeksky 452" and "Kuzybay 30" watermelon varieties was slightly longer than its ripening period.
