Evaluation Of Pumpkin Cultivars No-Till Direct-Seeded And No-Till Transplanted Into Wheat Stubble, Indiana 2005, Elizabeth T. Maynard Jan 2005

Evaluation Of Pumpkin Cultivars No-Till Direct-Seeded And No-Till Transplanted Into Wheat Stubble, Indiana 2005, Elizabeth T. Maynard

Purdue Fruit and Vegetable Research Reports

Double-cropping pumpkins after wheat provides an opportunity to harvest a high-value crop off of land that might otherwise remain uncropped. In northern Indiana, many jack-o- lantern pumpkin cultivars may not mature quickly enough to produce a crop when planted in mid-July. This paper reports yield and fruit size of five cultivars or lines direct-seeded or transplanted into wheat stubble at the Pinney-Purdue Ag Center in Wanatah, Indiana.

Double-cropping pumpkins after wheat provides an opportunity to harvest a high-value crop off of land that might otherwise remain uncropped. In northern Indiana, many jacko- lantern pumpkin cultivars may not mature quickly enough to produce a crop when planted in mid-July. This project compared yield and fruit size of eight cultivars or lines when they were either direct-seeded or transplanted into wheat stubble.
