Pascola Zucchini is a hybrid, green zucchini variety with exceptional disease-resistance coupled with high yields. Pascola is resistant to powdery mildew, cucumber mosaic virus, watermelon mosaic virus and zucchini mosaic virus. This makes it a great option for hot and humid climates where disease pressure can escalate quickly in late spring/early summer. Due to the improved disease-resistance, Pascola may be grown into the summer months when disease pressure is typically higher.

Pascola Zucchini produces dark-green, slender zucchini fruits that average 7-8" long and 2-2.5" in diameter at peak flavor. Plants have an open, upright growing habit for easy harvesting. Plants are also nearly spineless which makes harvesting these zucchini squash a much more pleasant experience. In most climates, 3-4 crops of this variety can be succession planted throughout the warm growing season.

Squash may be direct seeded or transplanted, although we highly recommend direct seeding. To ensure a good stand, we recommend planting squash Seeds every 12" along the intended row. Once plants emerge, thin plants to one every 2 feet. Squash can be susceptible to plant diseases like downy mildew and powdery mildew if leaves receive excess moisture. As a result, we recommend using drip irrigation on squash to reduce plant moisture and feed plants more effectively. During periods of heavy rainfall, using a fungicide like Liquid Copper can help to alleviate disease pressure as well.

Squash are a crop that will require multiple harvests throughout the growing season. Regardless of variety, squash will have better flavor and texture when harvested on the small end of the spectrum. We recommend harvesting every 2-3 days to ensure no fruits become too large and unpalatable. When squash plants cease production, remove the plants from the garden to prevent any fungal spores from overwintering and becoming a problem in future years. Proper crop rotation is extremely important with all squash varieties to reduce disease and pest pressure.

Yellowfin Organic (F1) Zucchini Squash Seed

SCIENTIFIC NAME:

Cucurbita pepo

CULTURE:

Fertile, well-drained soil with a pH of 5.8'6.8 is best.

PLANT SPACING:

Space plants 18-24" apart in rows 6' apart. Wider spacing may allow for easier harvesting.

DISEASES:

Common cucurbit diseases include powdery mildew, downy mildew, bacterial wilt, and phytophthora. Avoid problems with adequate soil drainage, good air flow, insect pest control, and crop rotation. If necessary, check with your local Cooperative Extension Service agent for specific control options.

INSECT PESTS:

Cucumber beetles, squash bugs, and vine borers are all common pests for cucurbits. Protect young plants with floating row cover. Squash bug eggs found on the undersides of leaves may be crushed by hand. For vine borers, cut out of vines and hill soil over the wound. Keep field borders mowed and remove plant refuse in the fall; spring plow to bury pupae. Pyrethrin sprays may offer some control.

HARVEST FRUIT:

For some varieties, it is common for the first fruits to be malformed, wither, or blacken, which indicates poor pollination and is usually remedied as more male flowers appear. Harvest regularly, 2-3 times a week, once plants begin to produce. Cut or gently twist off fruits when they have reached the desired size. For zucchini, 6-8" long. Handle with care to avoid scratching fruits.

HARVEST BLOSSOMS:

Harvest male blossoms (with thin stems) or female blossoms (with thick stems and an immature fruit at the base of the flower) in mid to late morning when fully open. Clip flowers 1-2" below flower base. If a squash fruit crop is also desired from the same planting, only harvest male flowers, leaving a few to pollinate the female flowers.

STORAGE:

Keep fruit at 40-50°F (5-10°C), 95% relative humidity for up to 2 weeks. Use as soon as possible for best quality.

DAYS TO MATURITY:

From direct seeding; subtract about 14 days if transplanting.

AVG. DIRECT SEEDING RATE:

(at 3 seeds/ft., rows 6' apart) 250 seeds/83', 500 seeds/166', 1,000 seeds/333'.

SEED SPECS:

SEEDS/LB.: Zucchini: Avg. 3,400.

PACKET:

25 seeds, (unless otherwise noted) sows 8'.

Cucurbita pepoFertile, well-drained soil with a pH of 5.8'6.8 is best. Plastic mulch and fabric row covers (AG-19 grade) can aide plant establishment and exclude insect pests during the seedling stage. Row covers should be removed when plants begin to flower. Poor fruit development may indicate insufficient pollination. For highest quality fruit, succession plantings every 2-3 weeks may be needed.Space plants 18-24" apart in rows 6' apart.
