Abstract

Different agrochemicals including auxins are used to improve the yield and quality of vegetables. This study was conducted to identify the proper compounds and concentration of auxin and the growth stage of plants for improved efficacy. In this study, the findings of previously published articles are reviewed. In this review, the effects of auxin on the growth, yield, and quality of vegetables are studied. The reviewed researches show that 150, 40, 50, 60, 80, 25, 50, and 60 ppm concentrations of naphthalin acetic acid have significant positive effects in cucumbers, eggplants, okra, broccoli, melons, tomatoes, cauliflower, and peppers respectively. The farmers can use the above-mentioned concentrations of auxin to produce a higher yield of quality vegetables.
