- Intervention effect Increasing plant populations from 4780 to 9560 per hectare significantly increased fruit number.
- Association Average fruit weight declined at higher planting populations.
- Association Large vine genotypes responded more strongly to planting density than bush types.
- Observation The authors interpreted phenotypic yield variation among pumpkin genotypes as genetically controlled.
- Intervention effect Foliar potassium improved pumpkin growth without a statistically significant effect.
- Intervention effect Foliar potassium improved pumpkin yield without a statistically significant effect.
- Recommendation The authors recommend increasing plant populations to increase pumpkin yield.
