Weed Control In No-Till Pumpkins, Elizabeth T. Maynard
Weed Control In No-Till Pumpkins, Elizabeth T. Maynard
Purdue Fruit and Vegetable Research Reports
"No-till production systems for pumpkins are of interest to Midwest producers, but achieving acceptable weed control without cultivation can be difficult. Research was conducted in Wanatah, Indiana in 2007 to evaluate postemergence weed control options for pumpkins no-till planted into a fall-seeded, spring-killed winter wheat cover crop. Weeds in no-till pumpkins were controlled reasonably well with a preemergence herbicide (Strategy®) followed by a hooded sprayer, row-middle application of a nonselective, nonresidual herbicide (glyphosate). Weed control, yield, and fruit size with this treatment were comparable to conventional tillage with a preemergence herbicide (Strategy®) and one cultivation. Hand weeding could be substituted …
Evaluation Of Pumpkin Cultivars No-Till Direct-Seeded And No-Till Transplanted Into Wheat Stubble, Indiana 2005, Elizabeth T. Maynard
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.

Evaluation Of Pumpkin Cultivars No-Till Direct-Seeded And No-Till Transplanted Into Wheat Stubble, Indiana 2004, 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 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.
