3G cutting technique in Cucurbits.

3G cutting is a revolutionary technique for increasing your yield per plant especially cucurbits such as cucumber, bottle gourd, ridge gourd, pumpkin etc. even in a small patch of land. It has also been identified to be fruitful in some other plants like brinjal, chilly, tomato and okra. 3G means 3rd generation in any crops. This is the procedure to maintain 3rd generation (tertiary) branches on plant by eliminating the 1st (primary) and 2nd generation (secondary) branches by cutting or pinching. The stem that develops as main branch since the seed germination is referred as 1st generation. When the 1st generation branch produce other branches those branches are referred as 2nd generation branches. Further when 2nd generation branches produce branches those are referred as 3rd generation branches. Different studies suggest that the 1st and 2nd generation branches of cucurbitaceae family tend to produce more male flowers than female flowers almost at the ratio of 14:1 (male: female). Therefore, fruit set is seen very low in these branches despite of heavy flowering. Whereas, 3rd generation branches tend to produce more number of female flowers than male flower. Hence, application of 3G cutting techniques along with adequate pollination conditions set more number of fruits per branch and plant leading to higher production.
