Cucurbit Genetics Cooperative Report 16:5-7 (article 3) 1993 Todd C. Wehner and Conrad H. Miller Department of Horticultural Science, North Carolina State University, Raleigh, NC 27695-7609 Most cucumbers (Cucumis sativus L.) in North Carolina are harvested 2 to 3 times per week for 2 to 4 weeks in two production seasons (spring and summer). Fruits […]

Optimum plant density for multiple-harvest yield of determinate and indeterminate cucumbers
Cucurbit Genetics Cooperative Report 10:29-30 (article 18) 1987 Todd C. Wehner and Conrad H. Miller Department of Horticultural Science, North Carolina State University, Raleigh, NC 27695-7609 The determinate plant type is conditioned by a recessive, single-gene mutant (1). It causes the main stem to terminate in flower buds, and is often associated with shorter vine […]
Effect of Unequal Competition from Bordering Rows on Pickling Cucumber Yield Trial Results
Cucurbit Genetics Cooperative Report 6:38-39 (article 18) 1983 Todd C. Wehner and Conrad H. Miller Department of Horticultural Science, North Carolina State University, Raleigh, NC 27650 Plant breeders usually test new experimental lines for several years in replicated, multiple-harvest trials to determine whether the line should be released for production in a particular growing area. […]
Correlation of Multiple-harvest Yield with Once-over Yield in Small Plots for Fresh-market Cucumbers
Cucurbit Genetics Cooperative Report 5:20-21 (article 10) 1982 Todd C. Wehner and Conrad H. Miller North Carolina State University, Raleigh, NC 27650 Probably the most accurate method of measuring yield of fresh-market cucumber lines is through a multiple-harvest trial with large replicated plots. However, in a breeding program, it is usually necessary to evaluate more […]
