2018 Pumpkin Variety Trial Article
Chuck Bornt, Team Leader, Extension Vegetable Specialist
Eastern New York Commercial Horticulture
The search for the perfect pumpkin variety continued in eastern NY during the 2018 season with CCE ENYCHP conducting 2 pumpkin variety trials; one at Wertman's Farm and Greenhouses in Melrose, NY (Rensselaer County) and at Robert O. Davenport and Sons Farm in Kingston, NY (Ulster County). Despite the roller coaster weather, the Wertman location turned out good and is the trial in which all data is based on. Unfortunately, the Davenport site suffered some poor stand issues and was used for observational data only.
