IT VARIETY EVALUATION
1986
G. W. ELMSTROM
CENTER DIRECTOR
Included in these evaluations are
pickling cucumbers, slicing cucumbers,
muskmelons, yellow and green summer
squash, winter squash, and watermelons
grown at the AREC Leesburg. Conditions
during the spring provided an excellent
opportunity to evaluate downy and
powdery mildew resistance. Zucchini
yellow mosaic virus and watermelon
mosaic virus 2 were both prevalent in
1986.
