Yield of Cucurbita Moschata Lines and Hybrids Grown in Sonora, Mexico Yield of Cucurbita moschata Lines and Hybrids Grown in Sonora, Mexico. Sergio Garza-Ortega and Alfredo Serrano-Esquer. Departamento de Agricultura y Ganadería. Universidad de Sonora. Rosales y Blvd. Encinas sn. Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico 83000. Introduction: Cucurbita moschata Duchesne is plant population reaching 30.3 ton.ha-1 for the widely cultivated in Mexico, mainly under rain- summer-fall season of 1988 using 0.33 plants fed conditions. In Northwest Mexico, landraces per square meter (8). of this species are known as Cehualca (or Halloween types of winter squash were Segualca) and are grown for mature fruit evaluated and it was found that the yield consumption mostly during the summer-fall increased significantly by setting pollinators. season. In the coastal valley of Hermosillo, The cultivar Libby´s Select (C. moschata) had Sonora, improved varieties of winter squash are the highest yield (74.8 ton.ha-1) while the C. grown for the export markets mainly to the USA pepo cultivars Appalachian and Mammoth Gold and Japan. Kabocha squash (C. maxima), Acorn had yields of 54.3 and 30.6 ton.ha-1 respectively and Spaghetti (C. pepo), and Butternut (C. (13). Similar results were reported with other moschata) are typically sown in August and cultivars of C. pepo of the same type with a high picked in November and December. Landraces yield of 51.9 ton.ha-1 (1). The commercial of C. moschata and C. argyrosperma are grown yields of Kabocha grown in Sonora usually in the state of Sonora in elevated areas with fluctuate from 12 to 18 ton.ha-1 (personal higher rainfall than the valleys, and are sown in communication, Ing. Ricardo Navarro) while in July and picked in October and November. Australia high experimental yields, around 43 The yields of winter squash are highly variable; ton.ha-1, may be reached with an average of ‘El Dorado’, a tropical hybrid of C. moschata 21.1 ton.ha-1. The interspecific hybrid reached 90 ton.ha-1 grown under drip irrigation ‘Tetsukabuto’ (C. maxima x C. moschata) had a and plastic mulch (6). In another work with C. yield of 66 ton.ha-1 (7). C. argyrosperma moschata, a high yield of 85 ton.ha-1 was germplasm evaluated at DAG had yields obtained for the tropical hybrid C-42 x La between 3.2 and 38.8 ton.ha-1 for the spring Segunda by transplanting and using mulching season and from 4 to 28 ton.ha-1 for the fall and row cover in a favorable year, but the yield season (9). Some germplasm had very low fruit decreased to 43 ton.ha-1 by direct seeding set during the spring season and for the fall without mulching and row cover in the same season the yield limiting factor was infection year. The previous year (1998) was humid and with squash leaf curl virus (SLCV), a whitefly- the yield under the last method was 28 ton.ha-1 transmitted geminivirus (2). Feeding of (11).

  • Crop Profile for Pumpkins in Tennessee
    Crop Profile for Pumpkins in Tennessee Prepared: December, 2001 Revised: July, 2002 General Production Information Tennessee’s national ranking in pumpkin production fluctuates annually often competing for third place with other states and falling as low as seventh place. States producing similar acreage as Tennessee include Illinois, New York, and California. Tennessee's contribution to the national pumpkin production is approximately thirteen percent of total national production. Pumpkins generate approximately $5 million dollars in Tennessee's economy. Approximately 4,000 acres were planted in Tennessee during 2001 and approximately 3,500 acres were harvested. A typical yield per acre averages from 800 to 1,200 marketable pumpkins per acre and varies, depending on type planted. Pumpkins are the most popular vegetable in the cucurbit group (mostly Cucurbita argyrosperma), which includes gourds and summer and winter squashes. The majority of pumpkins grown in Tennessee are grown for ornamental purposes. Cultural Practices Site Selection: Pumpkins produce the best yields and quality on well drained, fertile soils. Seeding Rates: Commonly 1 to 3 pounds per acre but varies with seed size, seeds per hill and row spacings. Planting: Planted at 12' x 12' apart or 10' x 10' apart for large vigorous vine types. Smaller vine types are successfully grown at an 8' x 8' spacing. Spray rows are added for tractor passage for pesticide application and harvest. Pumpkins are planted when soil temperature is 65 degrees at 4 to 6 inch depth around June 15 until July 10. Fertility: There are two common pumpkin production systems used in Tennessee. These include conventional tillage techniques and plastic culture, while less than 5% of total production utilizes minimum tillage techniques.

  • Buffalo Gourd (Family Cucurbitaceae, Cucurbita Foetidissima)
    Buffalo Gourd (Family Cucurbitaceae, Cucurbita foetidissima) By Gerald R Noonan PhD May 2013 © May 2013 Buffalo Gourds are a common sight along the trails near the San Pedro House and in many other parts of SPRNCA. They grow as a prostate vine that spreads along the ground and may grow up to 20 feet long. The leaves are relatively large, up to approximately a foot in length, grayish green above and whitish beneath. The triangular shaped leaves have fine teeth along the margins and are born on relatively long stalks. During approximately May to August, yellow flowers appear. They are funnel shaped, five-lobed, about 4 inches long, and have the basic ribbed and with veins. The flowers open very early in the day and are pollinated by bees. Pollinated flowers each produce a gourd that is approximately 4 inches long, round, and predominantly dark green but with light stripes. The gourds eventually mature to an even yellow color and with continued exposure to the sun become whitish in appearance. Buffalo Gourds are perennial, die back in the winter, and then grow back from the large root when weather becomes warmer. The triangular shaped leaves distinguish this plant from the other two gourd producing species of vines that occur in SPRNCA. Finger-leaved Gourds differ by having central silvery white markings on the tops of the five narrow fingerlike segments of each leaf. Melon Loco plants differ by having leaves that are roundish or kidney shaped, approximately 2-6 inches wide, and with irregular jagged edges or pleats. Buffalo Gourds occur in roadsides and in dry or sandy areas.

  • A High-Density Linkage Map and QTL Mapping of Fruit-Related Traits in Pumpkin (Cucurbita Moschata Duch.)
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN A high-density linkage map and QTL mapping of fruit-related traits in pumpkin (Cucurbita moschata Received: 7 June 2017 Accepted: 19 September 2017 Duch.) Published: xx xx xxxx Yu-Juan Zhong1,2, Yang-Yang Zhou1,2, Jun-Xing Li1,2, Ting Yu3, Ting-Quan Wu1,2, Jian-Ning Luo1, Shao-Bo Luo1,2 & He-Xun Huang1 Pumpkin (Cucurbita moschata) is an economically worldwide crop. Few quantitative trait loci (QTLs) were reported previously due to the lack of genomic and genetic resources. In this study, a high- density linkage map of C. moschata was structured by double-digest restriction site-associated DNA sequencing, using 200 F2 individuals of CMO-1 × CMO-97. By fltering 74,899 SNPs, a total of 3,470 high quality SNP markers were assigned to the map spanning a total genetic distance of 3087.03 cM on 20 linkage groups (LGs) with an average genetic distance of 0.89 cM. Based on this map, both pericarp color and strip were fned mapped to a novel single locus on LG8 in the same region of 0.31 cM with phenotypic variance explained (PVE) of 93.6% and 90.2%, respectively. QTL analysis was also performed on carotenoids, sugars, tuberculate fruit, fruit diameter, thickness and chamber width with a total of 12 traits. 29 QTLs distributed in 9 LGs were detected with PVE from 9.6% to 28.6%. It was the frst high-density linkage SNP map for C. moschata which was proved to be a valuable tool for gene or QTL mapping.

Baker A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of The Graduate College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts Department of Geography Western Michigan University Kalamazoo, Michigan August 1998 Copyright by Kathleen M. Baker 1998 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Thank you, first and foremost, to my friends and family who have added the word Cucurbitaceaeto their vocabulariesfor my sake. My thesis advisor, Dr. Rolland Fraser, and committee members, Dr. IlyaZaslavsky and Dr. Oscar Horst, have been marvelous, what can I say? Even when inedible cucurbits made you laugh, you tempered my crazy ideas withgood sense. To the grad students, faculty andstaff at Western, especiallythose of you who offered suggestionsalthough pumpkinswere far from your number one priority - you've been great, guys.

  • Hand-Pollination: Squash
    Hand-Pollination: Squash Hand-pollination is a technique used by seed savers to ensure that plants produce seed that is true- to-type and that flowers are not contaminated by the pollen from another variety. The process varies among spe- cies, but with plants that produce unisexual flowers like squash, the uncontaminated pollen from male flowers is transported to the unpollinated stigma of female flowers. Once the pollen is trans- ferred, the female blossom is cov- ered to prevent pollinaters that may be carrying foreign pollen from contaminating the stigma. 1 Hand-Pollinating Squash In total, there are four common species that gardeners recognize as squash; all of which are pollinated by in- sects. These species include Cucurbita argyrosperma (cushaw types and silver-seeded types), Cucurbita maxima (banana, buttercup, hubbard, turban, kabocha, and most pump- kins), Cucurbita moschata (butternut, cheese types), and Cucurbita pepo (acorn, scallop, spaghetti, crookneck, zuc- chini, delicata). Though the species do not generally produce fertile offspring when they cross, occassionally they do (see Inset 1); thus it is safest to take steps to iso- late all squash varieties from each other, regardless of species. In large scale commercial plantings, an isolation dis- tance of ½ mile or more is recommended between varie- ties in order to reduce the chance of accidental crossing. For gardeners who cannot meet this recommendation, or for those who want to grow more than one variety in their garden, hand pollination will ensure that a variety’s seeds are still true-to-type. Because the large male and female blossoms are easily distinguished, hand-polli- nating squash can be easy for gardeners of all skill levels.
