ADVANTAGES OF COMPACTVINE
HYBRID TROPICAL PUMPKINS
*Commercial Seed Availability
*Higher Plant Populations
*Earlier, Concentrated Harvest
*Higher Yields

SUMMARY •Compact plant type tropical pumpkin inbreds have been developed
•Hybrids have been constructed between compact plant inbreds (SS) and vining and compact plant inbreds (SV)
•Heterosis has been shown
•SS hybrids produce compact plants, SV hybrids develop intermediatelength vines
•SV hybrids are earlier than SS hybrids and produce larger, but more variable fruit
•Compact plants permit greater plant density and higher concentrated yields per unit area
