Abstract:
In order to screen out the varieties of
Cucurbita maxima suitable for the cultivation in Fujian Province, by taking Yipinnangua as the control group, the variety comparative test was carried out on the 19 imported varieties of
Cucurbita maxima such as Lvbaobeibei, Fubei No.7, Mobao and so on, so as to investigate the quality, yield and resistance of each variety. The results showed that the commodity characters and quality characters of Lvbaobeibei, Xiaohei, Huiguniang, Xiaobeinangua 1205 and Jizaowang were better. The yield per 667 m
2 of Dongsheng, Xiaoli, Xiaohei, Mobao, Xiaobeinangua 1205 and Jizaowang increased by 38.39%, 35.96%, 33.08%, 28.67%, 27.60% and 26.87%, respectively, compared with that of the control Yipinnangua. The disease resistances of Xianbei, Xiaohei, Xiaobeinangua 1205, Huijingling were stronger. Xiaohei, Xiaobeinangua 1205, Mobao and Dongsheng showed better performance in the plant growth, fruit commodity, quality and yield, which were the early maturing varieties. Xiaohei and Xiaobeinangua 1205 had the best comprehensive performance. The four varieties of
Cucurbita maxima were in line with the local consumption habits and could be promoted and demonstrated locally.
