Summary
Objective: To evaluate the physiological and productive response of cucumber crop to the induction of three commercial phytohormones (Cito Xplosión, Súper Hormonal, Vitaminum Forte) grown under protected conditions. Design/methodology/approach: The experiment consisted of three treatments, T1 (Cito Xplosión), T2 (Súper Hormonal), and T3 (Vitaminum Forte). The evaluated variables were plant height, number of leaves, fresh biomass, fruit diameter and length, number and weight, total soluble solids, pH, and electrical conductivity. Results: In the physiological variables, values of plant heights were 225, 228, 220, and 238 cm for T1, T2, T3, and the control. 33 leaves for all treatments and 31 for the control, T1 and T2 produced higher fresh biomass in leaves, stems, roots, and flowers, while
