Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect Seedling damage and reduction were greater with Zucchini Elite squash surrounding cucumber.
- Observation Seedling damage differed significantly among nine cucumber cultivars.
- Observation Two non-bitter cucumber cultivars were among those least damaged by cucumber beetles.
- Observation Cotyledon feeding damage did not significantly differ between non-bitter cucumbers and one bitter cultivar.
- Mechanism Factors beyond cucurbitacin content probably contribute to cucumber beetle resistance.
- Intervention effect Surrounding cultivar had no effect on pickleworm infestation.
- Observation Pickleworm infestation was 1.4 per 100 cucumber fruit versus 78 per 100 summer squash fruit.
