Effect of plant-growth regulator on fruit hypertrophy of melon 'Shimakou 1'
2020
Muku, S. | Ishizu, F.
The effect of treatment with sodium 1-naphthalene acetate was investigated for the purpose of promoting fruit enlargement of the 'Shimakou 1'melon. The fruits became larger and fermented fruits decreased following this treatment. No effects on net appearance or sugar content were observed. Although no difference in the effect of promoting hypertrophy was observed when comparing concentrations of sodium 1-naphthalene acetate at 1,000 times and 2,000 times dilution, the fruit shape became flatter at 1,000 times dilution. For this reason, the recommended concentration of sodium 1-naphthalene acetate is 2,000 times dilution.
