Effect of different ethylene concentrations and applying times on cucumber Zhongnong No.8 was studied. The results indicated that using 100 LL-1 ethylene one or two times on Zhongnong No.8 could raise its early yield efficiently without bad effect on plant growth and fruits. High concentrations or more application times would lead to empty nodes,low female flower rate,high first female flower node and late blooming date,which were harmful to both early and total yield as well as to fruits.
