To ensure true-to-type seed, grow only one open-pollinated variety per season.Ĭultural controls: use tolerant or resistant varieties, rotate crops, till under crop debris soon after harvest, use floating row covers until flowers appear, use plastic mulch, perimeter trap cropping ( Black Zucchini and Blue Hubbard make particularly good trap crops), use yellow sticky strips, hand-pick early morning when beetles are very sluggish. A moldy gross cap to the slurry means the seeds are ready to rinse and dry.

Make sure to remove blimps to the compost pile.Ĭombat striped cucumber beetles by handpicking early AM when the dew makes them sluggish, or use floating row covers, removing when cukes flower.

Direct seed 3" apart thinning to 1' apart in rows 4–6' apart or 6 per mound in hills 4' apart thinning to 3 best plants. Minimum germination soil temperature 60°, optimal ranger 65–95°. From transplant, subtract 20 days.Ĭulture: May be started indoors for early production, or direct-seeded when soil has warmed. Days to maturity are from emergence after direct seeding.About 30 seeds/g about 900 seeds/oz variations noted.
