Variety traits
Keeping quality — Large-fruited pumpkin
Cucurbita maxima Duchesne
An economic and biological trait that determines the ability of fruits to maintain their commercial and organoleptic qualities under standard storage conditions for 3–10 months.
In the reference 82 varieties crop Giant pumpkin, where this is mentioned in the description.
The evaluation of keeping quality for this species is conducted in dry, ventilated rooms at a temperature of 6–8°C and a humidity of 70–75%. Varieties with high keeping quality retain their consumer properties for up to 9–10 months, whereas early-maturing cultivars with less dense rinds are suitable for storage for 3–4 months.
The key factors for shelf life are the genetic density of the integumentary tissues and the level of dry matter in the flesh. Keeping quality is directly influenced by ensuring biological maturity at harvest, the application of potassium-phosphorus fertilizers to strengthen the rind, and maintaining the integrity of the peduncle during harvesting.
