In order to study the effects of Dekap (0, 1, 2 and 3 L ha-1
) foliar applications on some
physiological and morphological treats of Cucurbita pepo an experiment was conducted
based on Randomized Complete Block Design at Azerbaijan Shahid Madani University
Research Farm. The result showed that the foliar application had significant effects on
plant length, number of auxiliary branches, leaf number, number of female flower, total
number of fruit, fruit diameter, fruit fresh weight, intact fruit number, fruit yield,
number of intact and immature seeds in fruits and oil percent. The highest number of
auxiliary branches, plant height, leaf number per plant and the highest data for oil
percent, seed length, fruit fresh weight and fruit diameter were recorded at 1 and 2 L ha1
foliar application. The highest data for intact seed number was recorded at 1 L ha-1
foliar application but, the highest number of immature seeds were recorded at 2 and 3 L
ha-1
foliar application. The highest data for female flower number and total number of
fruits per plant were recorded at 1 L ha-1
treatment. The treatment used in this
experiment had not significant effects on protein content, seed dry weight, leaf dry
weight, potassium and phosphor concentrations. Considering the fact that, in the present
experiment there was no significant difference between 1 and 2 L ha-1 of Dekap foliar
applications in some of the evaluated traits, so, we can claim that 1 L ha-1 Dekap foliar
application can be recommended for the extension section.
