Cucurbit Genetics Cooperative Report 16:22-26 (article 8) 1993 P. Milotay Vegetable Crops Research Institute, 6000 Kecskemet, P.O.B. 116, Hungary Germination of cucumber seeds under cool weather conditions is frequently erratic resulting in poor, or non-uniform emergence. cucumber seeds germinate rapidly between 20-30C, however there is a sharp reduction in germination percentage and initial seedling development […]

Turgid flowers are essential for good fruit and seed set in cucumber
Cucurbit Genetics Cooperative Report 16:3-4 (article 2) 1993 R. Szegedi, I. Cserni and P. Milotay Vegetable Crops Research Institute, 6000 Kecskemet, P.O.B. 116, Hungary Fruit number per unit area and shape is generally a good predictor of seed cucumber yield. In short-fruited varieties most of the available ovules are fertilized under optimum conditions resulting in […]
Evaluation of Seed Yield of Pickling and Slicing Cucumbers in the Field Affected by Year and Plant Density
Cucurbit Genetics Cooperative Report 14:12-14 (article 5) 1991 P. Milotay and S.A. Hodosy Vegetable Crops Research Institute, 6000 Kecskemet, Hungary Experimental lines of cucumber are generally propagated in glasshouses, plastic houses or in net-covered cages. These circumstances rarely provide appropriate estimates of seed yield under field conditions. During seed production of pickling and slicing cucumbers […]
Some Relationships Among Fruit and Seed Properties in Seed-bearing Cucumbers of Different Types
Cucurbit Genetics Cooperative Report 14:10-11 (article 4) 1991 P. Milotay, L. Kecskemeti and I. Cserni Vegetable Crops Research Institute, 6000 Kecskemet, Hungary Seed yield in the field for new breeding lines is generally estimated by collecting random fruit samples from unit areas and measuring seed weight after processing. Fruit size and shape, and the proportion […]
