Effect of Plant Population and Planting Date on Root and Starch Production of Buffalo Gourd Grown as an Annual1

Abstract: The buffalo gourd (Cucurbita foetidissima HBK) produced root yields as high as 34,550 kg/ha with a root starch content of 63.5% on a dry weight basis at a 920-m elevation site. A quadratic relation between root yield and plant population showed maximum yield at 550,000 plants/ha. No clear relation was observed between root starch content and plant population. An April planting resulted in higher root and starch yields than a July planting, at a 370-m elevation site. Vine growth appeared to be restricted when m… Show more
