Environmental Health and Risk Priorities for North Carolina

Cucumber is one of the most profitable high tunnel crops. The objective of this trial was to test the performance of commercial English cucumber cultivars in hardiness zone 7 on yield and economical potentials. Eight or 12 English and Beit Alpha cucumber cultivars were tested in an organic high tunnel with insect netting in 2017 or 2021, respectively. Results on yield, disease resistance and fruit quality are provided in this poster.
