PLANTING
Plant green beans in soil temperatures of 65 degrees or greater.
Planting depth should be ½” to 1”. Row spacing should be 30” for
handpicking. There should be approximately 2” between plants. Some
commercial growers are using 15” rows for late planted green beans
that are going to be mechanically harvested.
See "Percentage of Normal Vegetable Seedlings" on page 149 for

additional information on germination rate and days to germination at
various soil temperatures.
MANAGEMENT
Weed pressure and insect pressure are the hardest things to control in
green beans. If conditions are wet, diseases are more prevalent.
HARVEST
Harvest green beans when 50% of the beans are 3 - 4 sieve.
STORAGE
Store beans at 40 - 45ºF and 95% humidity.
BEANS RUPP USE GUIDELINES

Home Garden and Farm Market varieties are considered to be high
quality (gourmet) for fresh use or processing. They are low in fiber and
more tender. As with most home garden varieties, pods set over a
longer period for extended harvest.
Shipping varieties contain fiber that slows wrinkling under long dis-
tance shipping or longer time between picking and use on the stand.
They are normally less tender than Home Garden or Farm Market
varieties. Shipping varieties have a more concentrated pod set for
mechanical harvest.

In addition to the trial work at our farm, we also traveled to
Wisconsin and New York to meet with multiple suppliers and
observe trials with up-and-coming experimental varieties that
we may have the opportunity to obtain. Some of the products
were hybrids, set to be released in 2018, while other varieties
are slightly behind in the pipeline. This is an important step in
helping our suppliers understand which products have merit for
immediate release while also letting us peek into possibilities
for the future.
PLANTING
Plant seed 1” apart and thin to 2” apart. Row spacing ranges from
15” - 24”. Seed depth should be ¼” - ½” deep. Poor stands are often
the result of planting too deeply or the soil’s crusting after a heavy
rain. The seedlings may emerge over a relatively long period of time,
making a stand of different sizes and ages of seedlings.

MANAGEMENT
It is extremely important to thin beets because they are a multigerm
seed meaning each seed will produce several plants. Beets that are
thinned when they reach approximately 3” tall can be used as greens.
Frequent and shallow cultivation is important to keep the soil loose
around the growing beet to ensure uniform roots. Note: There is
monogerm beet seed (Solo F1)available.
HARVEST
Beets can be harvested whenever they grow to the desired size.
About 60 days are required for beets to reach 1½” in diameter, the
size often used for cooking, pickling or canning.
BEANS
BEETS STORAGE
Beets may be stored in a polyethylene bag in a refrigerator for several
weeks. Cut off the tops of the beets one inch above the roots. Beets
store the best at 32ºF and 95% humidity. Do not freeze.

PLANTING
For spring broccoli, plant in greenhouse in flats. Sow ¼” to ½” deep.
For fresh market broccoli, plant on 30” beds with trickle irrigation.
On a 30” bed, plant two rows of broccoli. Plants should be 15” apart.
When planting fall broccoli, count backward from the first fall frost in
your area and add about 30 days from planting. This can be either
started in a greenhouse or direct seeded into the field.

MANAGEMENT
Use starter fertilizer for transplants and side-dress with nitrogen
fertilizer when the plants are half grown. Provide ample soil moisture,
especially as the heads develop. Scout fields for aphids and cabbage
worms.
HARVEST
Harvest when the head is large and firm, with a compact cluster of
small flower buds. The buds should not have bright yellow flowers
showing. Look for bright green or purplish-green heads. Yellow flow-
ers and enlarged buds are signs of over-maturity.
BROCCOLI
BEANS STORAGE
Store the broccoli, unwashed, in loose or perforated plastic bags in
the vegetable crisper of the refrigerator. Broccoli left unrefrigerated
quickly becomes fibrous and woody. Wet broccoli quickly becomes
limp and moldy in the refrigerator—so wash it just before using. Store
fresh broccoli in the refrigerator for 3 - 5 days. Old broccoli may look
fine, but it develops strong undesirable flavors. It tastes best and is
highest in nutritional value when storage time is brief.

BROCCOLI TRIALS
The broccoli trial was comprised of 19 commercially named
and experimental hybrids. Information was gathered on sev-
eral key points such as: head size, bead size, bolting tolerance,
dome shape, maturity uniformity, and brown bead tolerance.
Millennium (new in 2016) and Durapak 16 (new for 2018)
DURAPAK 16
topped the commercially available trial with medium-large
head size and excellent dome shape. Hancock (new for 2018)
also performed very well while displaying a raised head for
cutting ease and a smaller stalk for bunching or crown cut.
There were also two experimental hybrids that looked very
intriguing. If these are advanced by the supplier, we will plan
to evaluate them again in the summer of 2018.

PLANTING
Start in the greenhouse and transplant in early to mid summer, when
one would start long season cabbage. Seeds should be planted 4 - 5
weeks before transplanting. Allow 90 - 100 days for plants to mature.
For summer harvest, you must plant transplants of an early, heat-re-
sistant variety in very early spring. Sprouts maturing in hot weather or
under dry conditions are more likely to develop bitterness. Fall pro-
duction is the most desirable in a large portion of the country. Plant
24” - 36” apart in the row and 30” - 36” apart in rows.

MANAGEMENT
Brussels are grown much like cole crops, cabbage and broccoli.
HARVEST
Harvest sprouts when buds form heads one to two inches in diameter.
Pick sprouts when they are firm. Lower sprouts mature first.

PLANTING
Transplant early cabbage early enough that it matures before the heat
of summer. Planting two or three varieties with different maturities can
provide harvest over a longer period of time. Late cabbage must be
started during the heat of mid-summer, but it develops its main head
during the cooling weather of Fall. It may be transplanted or direct
seeded. Plants should be planted 12” - 24” apart depending on vari-
ety and the desired head size. Sow cabbage seeds ¼” - ½” deep.

MANAGEMENT
Use starter fertilizer when transplanting and side-dress with nitrogen
after plants are half grown. Keep plants out of intense sunlight and
heat of summer. Common problems are Yellow or Fusarium Wilt, as
well as cabbage worms.
HARVEST
Cabbage can be harvested anytime after the head has formed. For
highest yield, cut the cabbage heads when they are solid (firm to hand
pressure) but before they crack or split. When heads are mature, a rain
CABBAGE
BEANS may cause heads to crack or split.
STORAGE
Fresh, uncut heads of cabbage can be stored in the refrigerator for up
to two weeks. Cover loosely with a plastic bag or use perforated bags.
Do not wash cabbage before storing; the extra moisture will hasten
deterioration.

When deciding what variety of carrot to plant one must determine
two things: “What is my target audience?” and “What kind of soil do
I have?” Growers need to define if they are selling to fresh or storage
markets. Most of the carrots available from Rupp are geared towards
fresh market. If high tunnels or cold frames are used in your operation,
you may want to consider carrots as part of your rotation due to their
ability to resist cold weather.
There are five main types of carrots: Nantes, Chantenay, Baby, Impera-
tor, and Danvers.
• Nantes are easily and widely adapted; straight cylindrical
roots ranging 5” - 7” long. They tend to have a sweet
flavor and crisp texture, but have a limited storage po-
tential. Nantes are grown in loose sandy soils or in raised
beds.
• Chantenay have conical roots with broad shoulders and
rounded tips. They have a rich, sweet flavor and also pos-
sess a good storage potential. They are an excellent type
to grow from summer to fall and are adapted to various
soil types. They usually size up well in clay soils with high
organic matter content.
• Baby carrots have a root less than 5” long with a crisp
texture and are frequently quite sweet when mature. They
CARROTS
BEANS
also are grown in any well drained soil and can be used
to separate different types of salad greens. They tend to
have limited storage potential.
• Imperator are long with a tapered root shape, stocky
shoulders and strong tops. They tend to have a fibrous
texture and store well. This type of carrot sizes up best in
deep, sandy loam.
• Danvers have a thick rooted cylindrical shape with a
yellowish core. This type is mainly used for processing,
juicing, and storage.
PLANTING
Carrots can be planted in soils as cool as 40ºF with the ideal tempera-
ture ranging from 50 to 75ºF. They take anywhere from 7 - 21 days to
emerge from the soil depending on soil temperatures. Spring carrots
are planted 2 - 3 weeks before the last frost. For fall harvest, plant
carrots 10 - 12 weeks before the first frost. Seed carrots ¼” - ½” deep
and 15” between rows. Using seed tapes or pelleted seed will help
prevent over seeding.

MANAGEMENT
Soil nutrients are very important. Test the soil to check for optimal
levels. Also scout for insect and fungal infestations. Root quality is best
when soil temperatures are 60 - 70ºF. The shape of the root is deter-
mined within the first few weeks after germination when the new plant
extends its taproot deep into the soil. Sometimes growers will mix
radish seed with carrot seed to help with emergence. Radishes tend
to have the ability to break though soil crusting which in turn helps the
carrots emerge.
HARVEST
Fresh market carrots are harvested when they are ¾” - 1½” in diame-
ter.
STORAGE
Store carrots at 32 - 34ºF and at 98 - 100% humidity. Store clean car-
rots away from other fruits and vegetables.

PLANTING
Cauliflower is best started from transplants for both spring and fall
crops. Do not transplant sooner than 2 - 3 weeks before the average
frost free date in the spring. Cauliflower is more sensitive to the cold
than its cabbage-family relatives. It is important to start cauliflower
early enough that it matures before the heat of the summer, but not so
early that it will be injured by the cold. Transplant autumn cauliflower
and cabbage at the same time. Use starter fertilizer when transplant-
ing. Start the transplants so that they grow actively until transplanting
and never cease growth. Space transplants 18 - 24” apart in the row.
Use wider spacing for fall plantings.

MANAGEMENT
Cauliflower plants should be kept growing vigorously from the seed-
ling stage through harvest. When the heads begin to form (shows 2
to 3” of white curd at the growing point), it is ready to blanch. Tie the
outer leaves together over the center of the plant to protect the head
from sunburn, to keep it from turning green and developing an off-fla-
vor. When selecting cauliflower choose varieties that are self wrapping.
CAULIFLOWER
BEANS
This will help in the blanching process.
HARVEST
The curd develops rapidly under proper growing conditions. It grows
6 - 8” in diameter and is ready to harvest within 7 - 12 days after
blanching begins. The mature heads should be compact, firm, and
white. Harvest the heads by cutting the main stem. Leave a few green
outer leaves attached to protect the heads. Cut the heads before they
become over mature and develop a coarse “ricey” appearance. Once
individual florets can be seen, quality deteriorates rapidly.

Plant seeds 8 - 12 inches apart on 30 inch rows to achieve optimum
yield. Seed depth should be ¾” - 1½” depending on soil conditions,
and genetic type. Plant when soil temperature is 60º F plus. Planting
in blocks will also help increase uniformity in pollination.
SEEDING RATE
18,000 - 22,000 seeds per acre or one seed every 8 - 12 inches. To
achieve this singulation use a finger or air seed delivery system.
MANAGEMENT
Be sure to read the block on Managing Insects in sweet corn on the
following page. Also take a look at our "Insect Scouting Resources"
on page 40. Scout field every 7 days to check for insect, weed, and

ISOLATION
BEANS
CORN For all high quality sweet corn varieties, maintaining an isolation is
required to protect the high sugar and flavor characteristics of the
sweet corn as cross pollination from other types of sweet corn or from
different types of corn will result in starchy kernels.
SE/Synergistic types and SH2/Improved Super Sweet types should be

isolated both from each other and from other types of corn including
field corn, popcorn and ornamental corn.
An isolation can be achieved either by distance or by a difference in

maturity. Preferable isolations would require 700 – 1000 feet distance
from other corns, or 10 – 14 days difference in maturity between
varieties.
RELATIVE MATURITY
Sweet corn maturities are publicized as days to relative maturity. This
information comes from supplier data, as well as our trial observations
in the Midwest. Prolonged excessive heat or cool temperatures can
cause maturity dates to fluctuate to some degree . Monitor your crop
through the growing season in order to pick at optimum freshness.
HARVEST
Harvest sweet corn when the end kernels of the ear feel developed.
Approximately 21 - 25 days after half silk. Sample sweet corn to
ensure quality.
STORAGE
Pre-cool cob temperature to 50ºF. After pre-cooling store at 34ºF and
95% humidity.

PLANTING
Direct seed in soils that are above 70º F. Plant gourds ½” - 1” deep.
For a general rule of thumb plant seed the depth of three times the
thickness of the seed. Plant spacing varies depending on fruit size. For
small and miniature gourds plant at approximately 5 - 10 sq. ft. per
plant. For large gourds plant them at 30 sq. ft. per plant.

MANAGEMENT
Scout fields every 7 days to ensure crop health. Look for insect, weed,
and disease pressure. The first three weeks focus on weeds and insect
pressure. Then focus on disease pressure. For weed, insect, and
disease identification and treatments consult the Midwest Vegetable
Production Guide: www.btny.purdue.edu/Pubs/ID/id-56 or your local
extension. Place pollinators in field to ensure maximum fruit set.
HARVEST
Harvest when fruit have developed deep vibrant color or when plants
start to die down. Clean gourds of dirt, then dip them in a 5% chlorine
solution to ensure long shelf life.
GOURDS
BEANS STORAGE
Place gourds in a dry place that will have good air circulation to pre-
vent rotting.

PLANTING
When direct seeding plant ½” - 1” deep. Soil temperature should be
75 - 85ºF. Five to six feet is the recommended row spacing with 18 -
24 inches between plants. If starting with transplants sow 3 - 5 weeks
prior to planting outside.

MANAGEMENT
To ensure high yield place pollinators near fields. A melon needs to be
visited by a bee three times to ensure proper pollination. Scout every
seven days for weed, insect, and disease pressure. Contact your local
extension agent or consult the Midwest Vegetable Production Guide
for identification and treatment options.
HARVEST
Harvest 30 - 35 days after pollination. If shipping, pick at half slip.
When picking for fresh market, pick at ¾ to full slip. Wash fruit in per-
oxyacetic acid (peroxide and acetic acid), as a non-chlorine sanitizing
option.
MELONS
BEANS STORAGE
Cool to at least 70ºF and at 95% humidity. Shelf life is based on stor-
age temperature. Do not cool below 32ºF.

PLANTING
Onions are mostly direct seeded in the field, although some are
transplanted as seedlings or sets. Transplants are sometimes used to
improve bulb size, as well as to hasten maturity, or to avoid infection
by some plant diseases, but this method of crop establishment is
more expensive. Planting occurs from late March through early May.
Between-row spacing varies considerably depending upon weed and
foliar disease management, seeder capability, and harvesting equip-
ment. In-row spacing also varies depending upon variety, desired
bulb size, between row spacing, soil type, and other management
considerations.
Bunching Onions - Direct seed in spring when the soil reaches 50°F.
Plant seed ¼” deep and approximately ½” apart.
Bulb Onions/Short Day - Typically short day onions are direct seeded
in the southern region of the United States. In order to grow short
day onions in the northern region of the United States the seed has
to be sown in greenhouses and then transplanted into the field. Use
pelleted seed if direct seeding to help achieve better singulation.
Bulb Onions/Intermediate Day - Direct seed intermediate day onions

as soon as soil allows in April or early May. Sow seed 2” apart and thin
ONIONS
BEANS
to 3 - 4” apart for larger onions. Seeding depth should be approxi-
mately ¼” deep. If transplanting seed in flats in late February to mid
March, tops may be clipped to 5” tall. Use pelleted seed if direct
seeding to help achieve better singulation.
Bulb Onions/Long Day - Direct seed long day onions as soon as soil
allows in April or early May. Sow seed 2” apart and thin to 3 - 4” apart
for larger onions. Seeding depth should be approximately ¼” deep. If
transplanting seed in flats in late February to mid March, tops may be
clipped to 5” tall. Use pelleted seed if direct seeding to help achieve
better singulation. Plant long day onions in the northern latitudes.

MANAGEMENT
Keep onions well weeded with shallow cultivation. Onions are shallow
rooted and grow best in moist soil; irrigation may be required. Keep
direct seeded onions away from onion sets because onion sets are
more prone to disease. Long day onions should be planted in north-
ern latitudes because of daylight requirements for bulbing.
HARVEST
Onions are ready to harvest when tops approximately have 50 - 75%
fallen over and the skins have dried. Pull the bulbs by hand or use
equipment such as a potato digger or undercutter to cut the roots
and lift the bulbs. Wait until all the leaves are dead and dry. It is likely
the outer skins will loosen. Pulling onions too green will make them
difficult to cure and will affect storing them. Harvest when the weather
is dry.
STORAGE
Cure onions at 65 - 85°F at 70% humidity. Curing decreases the
incidence of neck rot, reduces water loss during storage, prevents mi-
crobial infection, and is desirable for development of good scale color.
Curing can be done in the field, preferably when the weather is warm
and dry. If it rains let them dry fully before handling. A greenhouse or
hoophouse also provides good conditions for curing. Temperatures in
the 80’s will enhance the bronze color in the skins. Sunshine is good as
long as it is not too hot. Extreme sun can produce sunscald.
Store onions out of the sun; exposure to light after curing will induce
greening of outer scales. Optimum temperature for long term storage
GREAT WHITE of onions is 32°F with 65 - 70% humidity. It is important to cool them
down slowly. Using cool late summer and fall temperatures works
great to cool onions down slowly.

EATING QUALITY
No popcorn varieties are hulless. Eating quality is a measurement
of flavor, kernel tenderness and hulls that are thin and break and
disperse during popping. Thicker hulled hybrids retain the hull in the
popped product and tend to remain in your teeth after eating. Factors
influencing popcorn quality include kernel moisture and expansion
ratio, processing procedures, home storage and handling. Good
popcorn should provide at least 98% popped kernels with well under
2% unpopped kernels. Proper care at the processing level helps to
assure this.
EATING QUALITY RATING

Good to Poor
EXPANSION
Refers to the increase in volume of unpopped corn after it is popped.
To illustrate, if a given volume of unpopped corn expanded to a 40
rating when popped, the volume increase was 40 times. All data is
collected on the standard test popper.
LODGING
The percentage of stalks broken below the ear at harvest time.
POPCORN
BEANS MUSHROOM SHAPE
The popped shape that is the most desirable for manufacturing
caramel corn etc. due to tougher more durable shape after popping.
Always less desirable as eating corn.
YIELD
Pounds of shelled corn adjusted to 13.5% moisture.
STORAGE
To maintain the best quality popcorn, store at 13 - 14.5% moisture
content.

PLANTING
Plant pumpkins ½” - 1” deep. For a general rule of thumb plant seed
the depth of three times the thickness of the seed. Plant spacing
varies depending on fruit size. If planting a large pumpkin give plant
approximately 72 sq. ft. of space. Medium sized pumpkins require 30
sq. ft. of space. Pie pumpkins require 24 - 30 sq. ft. of space. Miniature
pumpkins require 10 - 24 sq. ft. of space. See the Pumpkin Planting /
Harvest Timing chart on page 111 for additional information.

MANAGEMENT
Scout fields every 7 days to ensure crop health. Look for insect, weed,
and disease pressure. The first three weeks focus on weeds and insect
pressure. Then focus on disease pressure. For weed, insect, and
disease identification and treatments consult the Midwest Vegetable
Production Guide: http://www.btny.purdue.edu/Pubs/ID/id-56 or
your local extension. Place pollinators in field to ensure maximum fruit
set.
HARVEST
PUMPKINS
BEANS Harvest when fruit has developed deep color. Handles will appear dry.
Cut handles with shears to protect handles from being broken off.
STORAGE
Clean fruit of dirt and wash in 5% chlorine solution. Let air dry and
cure for 10 - 12 days. Make sure air is able to circulate around fruit. It
is important to keep fruit dry.
POWDERY MILDEW RATINGS

PLANT SPACING
Each variety or type of pumpkin has an optimum plant spacing for its
best performance. If plants are too close, stress and competition can
decrease fruit size and possibly even reduce the number of female
flowers. Under extreme stress, tight spacing may eliminate the crop
entirely.
• Optimum spacing for maximum yield, especially for
jack-o-lantern pumpkins, will not necessarily be the best
spacing for large fruit size. For large fruit, we would
suggest reducing plant density to the next recommended
plant population.
• Accurate plant spacing will be an equal opportunity envi-
ronment for every plant.
• Suggested populations are for final plant stands.
• To achieve ideal plant populations it is necessary to either
over-plant and hand thin or to plant according to recom-
mendations and hand plant later to fill skips.
• Seed corn maggots, wire worms, mice and birds, floods
or lack of rain are all common problems that effect accu-
rate stand establishment.

PUMPKIN PLANTING/HARVESTING TIMING CHART A

Just like sweetcorn, when a grower is planting pumpkins continually for the whole season, the plan is of utmost importance. The planting date plus the maturity of
the hybrid should equal the potential harvest date. Realizing that increasing or decreasing the heat and sunlight of each year can shorten or elongate this time span.
Use the following chart to align your pumpkin variety maturity with your desired harvest date to schedule planting. B

Pumpkin quality will be the best when harvested nearest to the variety’s actual maturity.
First, select the maturity of the variety you are using, then pick the date you would like your pumpkins to look the freshest (nice green handle). The required plant-
ing date will be at the top of the column. M
For example; if you are planting Gold Medal (95 day) and you want them to look their freshest on September 15th, you will want to plant on June 15. However, if
you are planting Gold Rush (120 day) and you also want them to look their freshest on September 15th, you will want to plant on May 15.

** Warning: Do not use with chlorinated water, as it has an adverse effect on the biologicals.
PLANTING
Plant seeds ½” - ¾” deep. Plant spacing varies depending on vine
type. Bush type plants should be planted closer and vine types should
be planted farther apart. Squash need to have approximately 25 - 30
sq. ft. See the Winter Squash Planting / Harvest Timing chart on page
122 for additional information.

MANAGEMENT
Scout every 7 days for insect, weed, and disease pressure. Fruit
will tend to decrease in size the farther south a crop is planted and
increase in size the farther north it is planted. Size is relative to day
length.
HARVEST
Cut off the vine to keep peduncle. Wash in 5% chlorine solution and
pat dry. Let cure for 10 days. Keep fruit dry to prevent spoilage. Allow
SQUASH
air to circulate around fruit.
STORAGE
BEANS Store at 45 - 55ºF and humidity level of 50 - 60%. Keep fruit dry and
allow air to circulate around fruit.
WINTER PLANT SPACING

Each variety or type of squash has an optimum plant spacing for its
best performance. If plants are too close, stress and competition can
decrease fruit size and possibly even reduce the number of female
flowers. Under extreme stress, tight spacing may eliminate the crop
entirely.
• Accurate plant spacing will be an equal opportunity envi-
ronment for every plant.
• Suggested populations are for final plant stands.
• To achieve ideal plant populations it is necessary to either
over-plant and hand thin or to plant according to recom-
mendations and hand plant later to fill skips.
• Seed corn maggots, wire worms, mice and birds, floods
or lack of rain are all common problems that effect accu-
rate stand establishment.

WINTER SQUASH PLANTING/HARVESTING TIMING CHART
O Just like sweetcorn, when a grower is planting squash continually for the whole season, the plan is of utmost importance. The planting date plus the maturity of the
hybrid should equal the potential harvest date. Realizing that increasing or decreasing the heat and sunlight of each year can shorten or elongate this time span.
Use the following chart to align your squash variety maturity with your desired harvest date to schedule planting.

PLANTING
Sow in greenhouse 4 - 6 weeks before desired planting date. Allow
plants to adjust to field conditions for 48 hours before transplanting.
Plant transplants up to 6 inches deep.

MANAGEMENT
Staking and pruning plants are an important management practice.
Staking and pruning allows the plant to concentrate on fruit develop-
ment and also ensures less damage when harvesting fruit. Staking also
keeps fruit from setting on the ground. Grow plants on raised beds
with drip irrigation. Scout weekly to ensure crop quality. Consult Mid-
west Vegetable Production Guide on identification and treatment.
HARVEST
Harvest tomatoes when 60 - 90% red for fresh markets. Consult your
buyers on what stage they would like their tomatoes harvested. How-
ever, please note that the more red the tomato the shorter the shelf
life.
TOMATOES
BEANS STORAGE
Store at 50 - 60ºF and 85 - 95% humidity to ensure the longest shelf
life.

PLANTING
Start in the greenhouse and allow 28 - 35 days to get plants ready to
transplant. Excessive water during germination must be avoided. Wa-
ter transplant growing medium well and allow excess moisture to drain
and moisture to stabilize for 24 - 48 hours. Bring medium temperature
to 80 - 95ºF before seeding. Seedcoat adherence to cotyledons may
be virtually eliminated by orienting the seed in transplant trays with
the pointed end up at a 45º to 90º angle. Plant transplants 6 - 12 feet
apart with 36” between plants.

MANAGEMENT
Scout fields every 7 days to monitor weed, insect, and disease pres-
sure. Place pollinating insects near the field to ensure proper pollina-
tion. Water only if necessary. Do not over-water.
HARVEST
Ripeness is indicated by a cream to slight yellowing of the white back-
ground color of the part of the melon that rests on the ground. Drying
of the stem tendril nearest the attachment point of the watermelon
WATERMELON
BEANS and green color tone of the rind are also indicators of ripeness but
these vary with cultivar. Melons should be cut from the vine rather than
pulled, twisted, or broken off.
STORAGE
Store at 50 - 60ºF and at a humidity level of 90 - 95%. This will ensure
a long shelf life.

PLANTING
Start in the greenhouse. Allow 28 - 35 days to get plants ready to
transplant. Excessive water during germination must be avoided. Wa-
ter transplant growing medium well and allow excess moisture to drain
and moisture to stabilize for 24 - 48 hours. Bring medium temperature
to 80 - 95ºF before seeding. Seedcoat adherence to cotyledons may
be virtually eliminated by orienting the seed in transplant trays with
the pointed end up at a 45º to 90º angle. Plant transplants 6 - 12 feet
apart with 36” between plants.
As a general rule, direct field seeding of the pollenizer variety should
be done on the same day the triploid seed is planted in the green-
house. Small-fruited, icebox varieties usually flower earlier than
standard watermelon varieties. If icebox varieties are to be used as the
pollenizer, then direct seeding should be delayed a week to ten days.
The diploid icebox pollenizer variety will frequently set fruit and stop
producing male blossoms while the triploid variety is still producing
female blossoms.
Growers may make a second planting of a pollenizer 2 - 3 weeks after
the initial planting to provide pollen for the late-developing female
blossoms on the triploid variety. No consistent differences among any
standard and icebox types in effectiveness of pollination have been
WATERMELON
noted. Icebox varieties used as pollenizers result in high early yields;
standard varieties used as pollenizers result in high total yields.
BEANS
SEEDLESS
MANAGEMENT
For successful seedless watermelon production, an adequate bee
population is especially important to transfer the pollen from the
pollenizer variety to the seedless variety (seedless watermelons do
not produce pollen). The pollenizer variety is normally planted in
alternate, or every third row to ensure adequate pollen movement by
the bees. At least eight visits to an individual flower of the seedless
variety are necessary for adequate hormonal stimulation for normal
fruit development. Scout fields very 7 days to monitor weed, insect,
and disease pressure.
HARVEST
Ripeness is indicated by a cream to slight yellowing of the white back-
ground color of the part of the melon that rests on the ground. Drying
of the stem tendril nearest the attachment point of the watermelon
and green color tone of the rind are also indicators of ripeness but
these vary with cultivar. Melons should be cut from the vine rather than
pulled, twisted, or broken off.

U.S. Seedless
NOTICE, WAIVER, LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

AND WARRANTY DISCLAIMER
This Notice, Waiver, Limitation of Liability and Warranty Disclaimer is made by U.S. Seedless, L.L.C. (USS) and/or US
Seedless, Inc. (USS) and applies to all transfers of watermelon seed by USS to any person including, but not limited to, its customers,
distributors, and dealers. The terms contained herein apply to all transfers of seeds or transplants by USS whether the transfer is
made via sale or by free sample or trial.
1. Disease Control Notice: Watermelon crops have been affected by various diseases over the last several years.
Watermelon Fruit Blotch or Acidovorax avenae subsp. citrulli (WFB), and Gummy Stem Blight or Didymella bryoniae (GSB) in particular
are serious diseases which have become a significant risk in the area of watermelon cultivation. The pathogens causing these
diseases and all other watermelon diseases can be introduced into a field by infested seed, infected transplants, infected volunteer
watermelon, mechanical means, infected debris, or by natural spread from alternate hosts. The causes of these diseases are due
to factors beyond the control of USS and USS cannot guarantee that the seeds are free of WFB, GSB or any other disease. It is
scientifically impossible to conduct any testing procedure which will give 100% reliable results with regard to the identification of
any seedborne WFB, GSB or other infection. Nonetheless, USS is using its best efforts to test all of its seed lots. Consequently, 10,000
seeds from each lot have been tested pursuant to current industry standards, and no symptoms or indicators of WFB, GSB or other
diseases were found to be present within the known limits of detection. USS recommends that the buyer examine all seed purchased
carefully and conduct any tests it deems necessary to reduce the possibility that any seeds are infected with WFB, GSB or any other
seedborne disease. The buyer agrees that any seed or plants purchased from USS will be produced or grown in accordance with the
“Guidelines for Control of Bacterial Fruit Blotch in Watermelon” as published by the National Watermelon Association, Inc., August
1996, including any subsequent amendments.
2. Waiver and Limitation of Liability: USS and the undersigned acknowledge that this transfer of watermelon seed is a
commercial transaction between merchants with respect to goods of this kind. As a condition of sale of all watermelon seeds sold by
USS or transplants grown from USS seeds and with respect to all USS seeds or transplants grown from USS seeds provided as free
samples or trials, the undersigned acknowledges that he has been informed of the risks associated with the potential presence of
WFB, GSB, or any other diseases and hereby waives any right to assert any claims against USS, whether for breach of contract, tort,
negligence, strict liability, or otherwise. The undersigned also releases USS, its distributors, its dealers, agents and suppliers from
any and all claims relating to WFB, GSB or any other diseases with respect to all USS watermelon seed or transplants grown from
USS seed supplied by USS or its dealers. The undersigned expressly acknowledges that his exclusive and sole remedy against USS
for any loss resulting from the use of USS seed or transplants grown from USS seed is limited to return of the purchase price of said
seed. In addition, the undersigned understands and acknowledges that seedless watermelons are not necessarily 100% free of all
seeds, but may contain some edible soft seeds, or some inedible hard seeds. It is understood that seedless watermelon varieties may
be affected by environmental conditions including, but not limited to, soil properties, plant spacing, irrigation, climactic conditions,
chemical applications, insects, nematodes, virus, bacteria, fungus, or other conditions which may cause stress and/or otherwise
pathologically impact the watermelon plants. This in turn may cause an increase in seeds, and variations in watermelon flesh color,
size, weight, sugar content, water content, fiber content, and hollow heart condition. Additionally, if any seed is repackaged, all
remedies against USS will be waived, including return of the purchase price, and USS will have no liability whatsoever to any other
parties.
3. Disclaimer of Warranties:
a. Disclaimer of Express Warranty: Any affirmation of fact or promise made by USS shall not be deemed to
create an express warranty that the goods shall conform to the affirmation or promise; any description of the goods by catalogue or
otherwise is for the sole purpose of identifying them and shall not be deemed to create an express warranty.
b. Disclaimer of Implied Warranty: This seed or transplant transfer is made on the express understanding
that there is no implied warranty that the goods shall be merchantable and that there is no implied warranty that the goods shall
be fit for any particular purpose. The buyer acknowledges that he is not relying upon the seller’s skill or judgment to select or
furnish goods suitable for any particular purpose and that there are no warranties which extend beyond the description on the
face hereof.
4. Transplant Grower (“Buyer”) Obligations: The Undersigned Buyer agrees to obtain from each customer or entity to
which the Buyer sells USS watermelon seeds or transplants, a duly signed and executed Waiver and Release form in duplicate in the
form required by USS. Should the customer be a partnership then all partners must sign the Waiver and Release form. Should the
customer be a Company then the Waiver and Release form should be signed by the Directors and Secretary. The undersigned agrees
to inform in writing each customer or entity to which it sells USS watermelon seeds that they are bound by the terms of the Waiver
and Release form for all future sales of USS Watermelon seeds. The buyer agrees that failure to obtain the executed grower Waiver
and Release form from each purchaser of USS watermelon seed will result in the Buyer accepting liability for any claim demand
or action by the purchaser in respect of the seed and the Buyer agrees to indemnify USS and the Reseller/Distributor against any
liability in respect thereof.
165
5. Limitation of Damages: USS shall not be liable for incidental or consequential damages or crop failure damages as a
result of the use of USS seed or transplants grown from USS seed.
6. Indemnity: The undersigned agrees that he will not resell or transfer any USS seeds or transplants grown from USS
seeds except in compliance with the obligations set forth in paragraph 4 above. The undersigned agrees to defend, indemnify
and hold harmless USS against any and all claims, actions, proceedings, judgments, attorney’s fees, court costs, or other potential
liabilities against USS of any nature whatsoever relating to any resale or transfer of said seeds and transplants.
7. Choice of Law / Choice of Forum / Jury Waiver: The parties agree that this Agreement is entered into in the County of
Bucks, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
It is further agreed that any litigation between the parties relating to this Agreement or any sale or transfer of USS seeds or
transplants grown from USS seed hereunder shall take place in the County of Bucks, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
The undersigned specifically agrees to waive its right to a jury and hereby agrees that any such legal action will be tried without
a jury.
8. Severability: The invalidity or unenforceability of any particular provision of this Agreement shall not affect the other
provisions hereof, and the Agreement shall be construed in all respects as if such invalid or unenforceable provisions were omitted.
I have read the above Notice, Waiver, Limitation of Liability and Warranty Disclaimer, understand it, and agree to be
bound by all of its terms. The foregoing terms constitute the entire agreement between the parties regarding the sale or transfer of
USS seeds or transplants grown from USS seeds. I also acknowledge that I have had the opportunity to consult with an attorney
regarding this notice. I understand this notice is part of my contract and a condition of sale, and that no shipment from USS or a USS
dealer will occur until USS and/or the dealer receive this signed notice. I agree to be bound by the foregoing terms for all future
transfers of seeds by USS or transfers of transplants grown from USS seeds.
