1 Pumpkin Variety and Produc2on Update 2015 Anne9e Wszelaki Commercial Vegetable Extension Specialist
2
3 From the ground up Pumpkins will do well on most soils Should be well- drained Rotate! Do not plant pumpkins in fields where other vine crops have been grown during at least the past 2 years
4 Bareground Fer2lity lb total N/A lbs preplant lbs sidedress Take into considera2on amount of N you apply, as well as residual soil N (legumes, compost, etc.) More nitrogen More yield Too much = More vines, less fruit; greener fruit; shorter shelf- life
5 Plas2culture Considera2ons Extra cost up front can pay reward in yield and quality Also, poten2ally save on weed management Take 2me to prepare proper seedbed
6 Plas2c Mulch Fer2lity lb total N/A total lbs N/A at plan2ng Remainder throughout the growing season through fer2ga2on 8 to 10 weekly applica2ons (beginning 3 to 4 weeks aaer plan2ng) Alternate 50 lb/a/week of calcium nitrate 50 lb/a/week of potassium nitrate 50 lb/a/week of water soluble
7 Plan2ng Dates Factors affec2ng plan2ng date: Rela2ve Maturity Market Harvest Date Microclimate Produc2on Prac2ces Frost Dates Soil Moisture Most varie2es have rela2ve maturi2es of 90 to 115 days Those may not be exact days for you! They are rela2ve and oaen taken at the seed companies trial loca2on (oaen in the Northeast)
8 Plan2ng Dates Bare Ground Late- June Early July No- Till Mid- June Early July Plas2culture Early July Mid- July
9 Pumpkin Spacing Factors affec2ng spacing: Plant vigor Fruit size desired Moisture Equipment Weed control strategy
10 Pumpkin Spacing Bush 5-6 between rows; 2-3 in- row Semi- vine 6-8 between rows; 2-4 in- row Vine 8-10 between rows; 4-5 in- row
11 Irriga2on Water cri2cal to insure good fruit set and development Moisture stress will affect fruit size but not number Prac2cal in retail opera2ons where lots of high quality pumpkins are needed 1 to 2 1/2 inches of water/a/ wk (Precheur, Ohio State)
12 Harvest Considera2ons Harvest when fully mature, with a deep orange color and hardened rind (ideally) Avoid harves2ng when foliage is wet Cut stems as close to vine as possible Careful handling can prevent wounding and help maintain quality
13 Stems are a quality indicator too!
14 Postharvest Handling Store in a cool, dry, dark place Cool: degrees F Rela2ve humidity: 50 70% Single layer Barrier between pumpkins and soil, if possible
15 Alternatives to Plastic Mulch? Performance & Adoptability of Biodegradable Plastic Mulch for Sustainable Specialty Crop Production This material is based upon work that is supported by the National Institute of Food and Agriculture, under award number Any opinions, findings, conclusions, or recommendations expressed in this publication are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the view of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. 15
16 Overview Multi-university partnership to determine whether profitability and sustainability can be increased through adoption of biodegradable mulches Can provide weedsuppression, water conservation, and crop yield benefits, yet they may not require removal and disposal Impact on soil, productivity, and farm economics are the focus 16
17 Treatments Bareground Plastic mulch WeedGuard Plus BioBag PLA/PHA BASF prototype Custom Bioplastics prototype 17
18 What did we do? Planted Cinnamon Girl pie pumpkin 3 ft apart in-row and 5 ft apart between rows Harvested last week to measure yield and quality among treatments Storage studies to determine shelf-life 18
19 Early findings WeedGuard suppresses weeds long enough for crop to establish No trace in field at harvest 19
20 Early findings WeedGuard suppresses weeds long enough for crop to establish No trace in field at harvest Other BDM s partially degraded Stay tuned. 20
21 Early findings Other BDM s partially degraded But some adhered to fruit Stay tuned. 21

23 Variety Selec2on Cucurbita pepo (Jack- o- lantern types) Many have been bred for resistance Cucurbita maxima (Giant pumpkins & special2es) Resistance to powdery mildew Cucurbita moschata (Long Island Cheese) Na2ve to Eastern U.S. and Puerto Rico Generally more tolerant of hot, humid weather Greater resistance to disease and insects
24 Methods 25 pumpkin cul2vars, 4 replicates, mini to large Plots: 20 long, 6 plants/plot Plant spacing: 3 between plants 10 between rows Loca2on: Mountain Research Sta2on, Waynesville, NC Planted: June 26, 2014 Harvested: October 6, 2014
25 Fer2lity: Methods 69 lbs/acre N, 46 lbs/acre P 2 O 5, and 75 lbs/acre K 2 0, incorporated prior to plan<ng Fer<ga<on every other week- rate of 50 lbs/acre/ applica<on ( ) Insec2cides: Applied according to label rate weekly or every 2 weeks Alternated spray applica<ons: Montana, Coragen & Venom Fungicides: Applied according to label rate weekly Alternated spray applica<ons: Bravo, Presidio, Quadris, Quintec, Rally and Ranman
