Effects of Blending Gynoecious and Monoecious Cucumber Seeds on Yield Patterns1

Conrad H. Miller

Open full text 5 citations

Abstract

Abstract Eight seed blends of gynoecious with monoecious cultivais of cucumber ( Cucumis sativus L.) ranging from 87.5 to 0% gynoecious seed were evaluated in spring and fall multiple harvest trials. Yield advantages were associated with blends having a high proportion of gynoecious seed during the early part of the harvest season but advantages were less pronounced as the season progressed.
