The Effect of Different Times of Seedling Emergence on the Yield of Squash Hybrid Aral F1 in Hovtashat Community of the RA Ararat Region

Abstract

Squash is cultivated almost in all agricultural zones of Armenia; anyhow, the agrotechnology of its cultivation is not sufficiently studied yet. The squash hybrid Aral F1 has been selected as a study subject for the research work. The effect of different times of seedling emergence under film coating on the squash growth, development and yield indicators has been studied. Upon the scientific experiments it has been found out that for the early squash harvest in conditions of Ararat valley the seedlings of Aral F1 or other similar hybrids should be planted under the film-coated area in the first decade of March, which will enable to harvest a rather high squash yield.
