1、Effects of Sowing Date and Spraying of Brassinosteroid on Yield and

It may be concluded that sowing of watermelon during December 2 nd Week and spraying of Brassinosteroid at 0.1 ppm significantly increased the crop yield. The quality of the watermelon fruits were also better when the crop was sown during December 2 nd week.

2、Brassinosteroids: Molecular and physiological responses in plant growth

Brassinosteroids improves crop yields by altering plant metabolism and protecting plants from several abiotic stresses. Brassinosteroids regulate gene expression and signal transduction pathways to stimulate abiotic stress tolerance.

3、Mode of Action of Brassinosteroids: Seed Germination and Seedling

Based on these findings and a review of the literature on the mode of action of brassinosteroids, a hypothesis was put forward about the secondary effects of BRs on germination and the early growth of plant seedlings.

Effects of sowing date and spraying of brassinosteroid on

Spraying of BR at 0.1 ppm at the 2nd and 4th leaf stage was highly effective in increasing the yield of watermelon. The max. number of fruits per plant was recorded for sowing in the 2nd wk of Dec. and spraying with 0.1 ppm BR.

From plant survival to thriving: exploring the miracle of

By unraveling the phenomenon of BRs, this review emphasizes the potential of BRs as an innovative approach for boosting abiotic stress tolerance and improving the overall productivity and quality of horticultural crops.

The phytohormone brassinosteroid (BR) promotes early seedling

The phytohormone brassinosteroid (BR) regulate various developmental and physiological processes in plants. However, the function of BR during early seedling development stage in rapeseed is largely unknown.

Physiological effects related to brassinosteroid application in plants

The use of brassinosteroids with the objective of increasing crop yield in the field and to improve the quality of the seedlings has also received attention in recent papers.

Effects of Sowing Date and Spraying of Brassinosteroid on Yield and

The objective of this study was to determine the effect of brassinosteroid (BR) on yield, fruit quality and following storage of ‘Tak Danehe Mashhad’ sweet cherry (Prunus avium L.).

Brassinosteroid is a plant growth regulator primarily used to promote crop growth and increase yields. When applied to watermelon seedlings, brassinosteroid can enhance growth speed, stress resistance, and ultimately improve survival rates and productivity. Below are detailed steps for spraying brassinosteroid on watermelon seedlings:

1. Select the Appropriate Brassinosteroid Type: There are various forms of brassinosteroids, such as brassinolide or brassinoethyl ester. Choose the right type based on the growth stage and specific needs of the watermelon seedlings.

2. Prepare Spraying Equipment: Use sprayers, watering cans, or high-pressure hoses. Ensure the nozzle produces a fine, even mist to distribute the solution effectively over the seedlings.

3. Dilute the Brassinosteroid Solution: Follow product instructions or professional guidance to mix brassinosteroid with water. A typical dilution ratio is 50–100 milligrams per liter of water.

4. Apply the Solution: Pour the diluted solution into the sprayer and apply it to the seedlings. Avoid direct contact with leaves or stems to prevent scorching. Spray evenly, thoroughly, and in multiple light applications to ensure all parts of the seedlings are covered.

5. Optimal Spraying Time: Apply in the morning or evening when temperatures are cooler to minimize harm to seedlings. Avoid spraying during hot, humid weather, as this may reduce effectiveness.

6. Spraying Frequency: Adjust based on seedling growth and results. Typically, apply every 7–10 days until seedlings reach the desired growth stage.

7. Key Precautions:

   • Follow dosage guidelines strictly; avoid overuse.
   • Do not spray in windy, rainy, or extremely hot conditions.
   • Protect eyes and skin; avoid direct contact with the solution.
   • Discontinue use immediately if abnormal growth occurs and consult professionals.
   • Clean equipment after use to prevent environmental contamination.

8. Monitor Results: Observe seedling growth closely. Accelerated growth and improved stress resistance indicate effective application. If abnormalities or wilting occur, stop use and seek expert advice.

Spraying brassinosteroid on watermelon seedlings is an effective method to boost growth and resilience. Always adhere to product instructions, prioritize safety, and maintain eco-friendly practices. With scientific management, this technique can significantly improve seedling survival and yield.
