The results showed that GA3 promotes and PB, CCC and ET inhibit the vegetative growth of squash and zucchini; ET has a highly significant role in promoting female flowers formation of squash and zucchini; CCC and GA3 have a significant role in promoting female flowers on zucchini, but no dif- ference on squash; PB has no significant difference in impacts on female flowers development between treatment and control. The reaction of five varieties of squash and zucchini treated with four kinds of chemicals is a little different, but the trend is the same.
