Variety traits

Yield — Butternut squash

Cucurbita moschata Duchesne

An indicator of productivity measured in t/ha or the number of fruits per plant. Yield is limited by a long growing season and the root system's sensitivity to waterlogged soil.

In the reference 9 varieties crop Butternut squash, where this is mentioned in the description.

The biological yield of butternut squash in high-risk farming regions varies from 10.3 to 42.2 t/ha, depending on the meteorological conditions of the season. When evaluating breeding samples, the key productivity criterion is the number of marketable fruits per plant, which is particularly relevant for varieties with portion-sized fruits weighing 1.0–2.5 kg.

Crop productivity directly depends on the variety's adaptability to temperature regimes and the length of the growing season. Important factors include the state of the root system, which is sensitive to excessive moisture, and the regulation of fruit set load, as an excess of ovaries during nutrient deficiency leads to fruit drop or underdevelopment.
