Abstract
SUMMARY The effect was investigated of seasonal differences between winter and spring on the development of parthenocarpic and fertilized fruits in two squash cultivars, Zucchini Elite F 1 and Bushy White. The former had stronger parthenocarpic characteristics than the latter. The effect of night temperature on growth of the parthenocarpic fruits was most pronounced, both rate of growth and final weight increasing with decreasing temperature. Whereas long days inhibited development of parthenocarpic fruits, the heaviest and longest fruits were obtained under normal day-length conditions.
