Other claims from this paper (8)
- Observation Four C. maxima cultivars had lower powdery mildew severity than other C. pepo cultivars.
- Observation Three C. pepo cultigens had lower powdery mildew severity than other C. pepo cultivars.
- Observation C. maxima had less virus-symptomatic foliage than C. pepo.
- Observation C. maxima had less downy mildew than C. pepo.
- Observation The two species produced similar numbers of marketable fruit.
- Observation C. maxima had more potential marketable yield because most fruit were virus affected.
- Observation Spookie, HMX 6686 and Spooktacular produced the greatest marketable fruit numbers.
- Observation No cultigens were well adapted to the humid coastal plain growing conditions.
