PAGE SIX —SECTION TRACT Around The Farms In Chowan County Bt c. W. OVERMAN, chjwan County Agent I ™ L^J | Some Results of 1965 Can taloupe Work: Why are growers encountering diffi culty growing cantaloupes? y/hat is causing plants to die? How can growers over come these hazards and con tinue Jo grow cantaloupes profitably? These are ques tions we are striving to find answers to. 5. With the cooperation of AADA Horticultural Special ist W. W. (Bill) Reid and pther related specialists at N. C. State University, work was begun in 1964. Our stpdies were profitable in observing mistakes in grow ing practices. We also con ducted variety trials. • Perhaps 90 per cent of the growers’ crop was planted to Hale’s Best Jumbo variety. The variety trials revealed five other varieties which were as good or better in size, quality and yield as the Hale’s Best Jumbo. These varieties showed more dis ease resistance. In 1965 the better varie ties were continued in two trials. Some other new va rieties along with Hale’s Best Jumbo and Edisto were included. In each of the two fields each plot was one hundredth of an acre, 69 feet of a 76-inch row. Thus each cantaloupe harvested represented 100 per acre. On the farm of Edward Evans of Rocky Hock the plots were on one side of the planting of Hale’s Best Jumbo. The soil was fumi gated for nematodes control ahd* the all-practice method of production was used. A soil assay made during the growing season revealed ne matodes were controlled. On the farm of Alvin Ev ans of Rocky Hock the plots were located with Hale’s Best Jumbo on both sides. The soil was not fumigated. A soil assay made during the growing season revealed root knot infestation which was bad half way down the rows. Otherwise the all practice method of produc tion was used. Along with Specialist Bill Reid, Dr. Dan Phillips, plant pathology specialist, we vis ited the fields each two weeks observing and identi fying diseases as trouble ap peared in these and other fields. Henry M. Covington extension horticulturist, also visited fields and observed the disease problems. .

OF EDENTON in a field with Earl Bunch and a field with John Par rish in the Rocky Hock area. No apparent serious plant disease problems occurred in these fields. The check plots were as good as the treated plots. There wais nematode infestation which damaged the crop. In the two Evans fields diseases were abundant. These diseases were iden tified by Dr. Dan Phillips. Mostly fusarium but also some pythium and rizoctonia fungi attacked young plants, killing many. As the season progressed, fusarium stem rot set in and completely killed all Hale’s Best Jum bo, Edisto, Schoons Hard shell and Sampson Hybrid in the plots as in the adjoining field. Harper Hybrid, Gold Star, Super Market, Vir ginia 814, Burpee Hybrid, Edisto 47 and Delaware 24- 5952-3 showed excellent re sistance to the early plant diseases and also fusarium stem rot. A 100 per cent plant survival and growth occurred. Next week this article will be continued. I will tell you how each variety performed and briefly discuss the char acteristics of each.
