The
precocious yellow gene in squash
Developed at Rutgers University
by Dr. Ovis Shifriss, the precocious yellow gene has been in the breeding program of Harris Moran Seed Company for close to 20 years.
Incorporated into Harris Moran's breeding program, it offers three
distinct advantages for the squash grower:

F1
-
The fruit tend to develop color early,
giving the grower the advantage of selling to the "baby" vegetable market;
-
The fruit tend to resist greening when the
plants become infected with CMV or WMV II. this increases the harvest window and leads to
higher yields.
-
An increase in female flowers is frequently
noted. When the plants are properly cared for, this can lead to an increase in yields.
