摘要:

The susceptibility of ‘Delica’ buttercup squash (Cucurbita maximaD. ) harvested at different maturities to develop rots in storage is reportedly associated with aspects of flesh composition. The flesh composition and incidence of storage rots of two new cultivars of buttercup squash—'Kaboten’ and ‘Hybrid 176’, were compared with ‘Delica’ to see if this association extended across cultivars. Sensory quality of the new cultivars was also compared with ‘Delica’, the New Zealand export industry standard. ‘Kaboten’ had a lower proportion of fruit with rots between 4 and 16 weeks of storage at 12°C but there was no difference among cultivars during the 0–6 weeks field‐to‐market period for export squash. After 20 or more weeks of storage, a high proportion of fruit (10–30%) of all cultivars had rots. Although there were compositional differences among cultivars, they were not associated with storage life. ‘Kaboten’, the better keeping cultivar, could not be distinguished from ‘Delica’ by dry matter (DM), starch, sugar, or titratable acid levels. ‘Delica’ was the most liked cultivar and ‘Kaboten’ and ‘Hybrid 176’ were rated equally behind ‘Delica’. ‘Hybrid 176’ had a drier texture than the other cultivars and this was probably the result of its higher DM and starch contents at harvest.

摘要:

The effect of garlic yellow streak virus (GYS V) on red garlic (Y strain), traditionally grown in the Pukekohe region of New Zealand, was found to be minimal; emergence from infected cloves was 92% and infected plants generally produced bulbs of good size and quality. In contrast, the effect on the popular Japanese cultivar—'Fukuchikei White'—was severe; only 56% of infected cloves emerged and only 42% of the emerged plants subsequently produced bulbs. Natural GYSV infection of virus‐free garlic, cultivar ‘Printanor’, was delayed by a 2 km separation from the nearest infected garlic crop, but the final disease incidence was not affected.

摘要:

’Allure’(Pisum sativumL.) is a new white field pea, of French origin, released by Crop & Food Research for growing in the southern cropping regions of New Zealand. A semi‐leafless plant type with more upright growth habit, ‘Allure’ has out‐performed the commercial standards ‘Birte’ and ‘Bohatyr’ for yield and ease of harvest in four regional evaluation trials conducted between 1991 and 1994 in Southland, New Zealand.

摘要:

‘Gladiator’ is a new maincrop potato(Solanum tuberosumL.) cultivar with resistance to both potato cyst nematode species(Globodera rostochiensisandG. pallida)and powdery scab(Spongospora subterranea).It has long oval, block‐shaped tubers suitable for french fry manufacture when mature and for fresh market when still immature.
