Ga. Breeding High Quality Market Type Cantaloupes Resistant to 



Disease, Insects, and Adverse Physical Environment To breed a 

 cantaloupe variety with good edible and shipping qualities that 

 has enough resistance to all important diseases and insects to be 

 profitably produced in any part of Georgia without the expense of 

 spraying, irrigation, and extremely heavy fertilization, 

 PI. Path. 99 



La. The Control of Cucumber Anthracnose by Means Other Than 



Foliar Fungicide Treatment . To obtain satisfactory control for 

 cucumber anthracnose by some means other than application of 

 foliar fungicides.

Miss. Diseases of Cucurbits with Special Emphasis on Breeding 



Disease-Resistant Varieties of Watermelons and Cantaloupes Adapted 

 to Mississippi Condition s^ To (1) develop high quality water- 

 melons resistant to Fusarium wilt and anthracnose, suitable to 

 Mississippi conditions, and acceptable to shipping trade; and (2) 

 develop commercial variety of cantaloupe resistant to downy 

 mildew, powdery mildew, aphid s and possibly to leaf and pickle 

 worms. 



PI. Path. HL-1 



Ohio The Development of Disease Resistant Strains of Cucumbers . 



To develop strains of cucumbers of slicing and pickling types which 

 will be sufficiently resistant to mosaic and possibly bacterial 

 wilt so that the production of the crop may again become profitable 

 to Ohio.

R. I. Breeding Cucumbers and Melons for Resistance to Downy Mildew . 

 To secure varieties of cucumbers and melons resistant to downy 

 mildew, adapted to our climate, and of desirable shape, size and 

 quality.

S. C. The Development of Disease Resistant Cantaloupe Varieties . 



(1) Study techniques of inoculation of cantaloupe plants with 

 causal agents of altemaria leaf spot, downy mildew, powdery 

 mildew, and gunmy stem blight, and anthracnose, to learn: reli- 

 ability of resistance tests on young seedlings; effect of environ- 

 mental influences on host and pathogen before, during, and after 

 inoculation; a uniform standard technique of testing for resistance; 



(2) study inheritance of resistance to various leaf diseases and 

 inheritance of morphological characters linked to disease resistance 

 genes; (3) study physiological, anatomical, and morphological 

 aspects of resistance to various diseases; (4) combine high levels 

 of disease resistance with other characters of economic importance.
