Row covers should be removed when plants begin to flower. Poor fruit development may indicate insufficient pollination. Time plantings so that varieties will mature for the fall market. Overexposure to sun in the field after maturity and foliage dieback reduces fruit and handle color quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDAYS TO MATURITY:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom date of direct seeding.

In-row spacing varies depending on fruit size and is generally: small, 18-24\"; medium, 24-36\" and large to extra-large, 36-72\". Spacing requirements may vary, so check for individual variety recommendations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eINSECT PESTS:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCucumber beetles, squash bugs, and vine borers are all common pests for cucurbits. Protect young plants with floating row covers. Squash bug eggs found on the undersides of leaves may be crushed by hand. For vine borers, cut out of vines and hill soil over the wound. Keep field borders mowed and remove plant refuse in the fall; spring plow to bury pupae. C. moschata types are less susceptible to vine borers. Insecticides (specifically, pyrethrin sprays) may offer some control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDISEASE:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCommon cucurbit diseases include powdery mildew, downy mildew, bacterial wilt, and phytophthora. Avoid problems with adequate soil drainage, good air flow, insect pest control, and crop rotation. If necessary, check with your local Cooperative Extension Service agent for specific control options.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHARVEST:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFruits can tolerate 1-2 light frosts, however, temperatures below 28°F (-2°C) can damage fruit. When fruit color is fully developed, clip handles close to the vine. Avoid picking up fruits by handles and take care not to damage the skin\/rind. Sun cure in the field for 5-7 days or cure indoors by keeping fruits at 80-85°F (27-29°C) with good air ventilation. Black pumpkins and white pumpkins are both sensitive to sunscald and should be brought out of direct sunlight once foliage starts to die back; cure inside and keep out of sun to avoid yellowing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSTORAGE:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStore at 50-60°F (10-15°C) with 50-70% relative humidity and good ventilation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSEEDS\/LB.
