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

Midwest Vegetable Trial 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.

Pumpkin Cultivar Evaluation, Indiana 2005, Elizabeth T. Maynard

Midwest Vegetable Trial Reports

Pumpkins grown for Halloween and other decorative purposes continue to be an important crop for many Midwestern vegetable farmers. Breeders are developing new varieties with improved appearance and disease resistance or tolerance. This paper reports on yield and fruit size of nineteen varieties evaluated at the Pinney-Purdue Ag Center in Wanatah, Indiana.

Pumpkin Cultivar Evaluation, Indiana 2004, Elizabeth T. Maynard

Purdue Fruit and Vegetable Research Reports

Pumpkins grown for Halloween and other decorative purposes continue to be an important crop for many Midwestern vegetable farmers. Breeders are developing new varieties with improved appearance and disease resistance or tolerance. Trials were conducted at Meigs Horticultural Facility, Throckmorton Purdue Ag Center in Tippecanoe County, Indiana, and on farms in Allen and Whitley Counties in northeastern Indiana to evaluate new cultivars and lines and compare them with older cultivars. This paper reports on yield and fruit size of 31 varieties grown at one or more of the trial locations.

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.
