Asian Cucurbits

This group includes cucurbit fruits that can be eaten either immature or mature as well as several vegetables with edible tender stems and leaves. All can be grown on raised beds, with or without plastic mulch, and with drip, overhead, or subsurface irrigation. Most of the crops are trellised, primarily to maximize space and sufficient sunlight, to minimize bud drop and fruit rot caused by overshading and exposure to soil moisture and pathogens, and to promote straight fruit. Winter melon is the exception because it is generally too heavy to trellis. Fertilizer recommendations for cucumbers are applicable for fuzzy melon, long gourd, both luffas, Chinese cucumber, bittermelon, and snake gourd. There are two types of bittermelon: Indian and Chinese. The Indian type has smaller fruit with dark green color and rough skin, and the Chinese type has larger fruit with light green color and smooth skin. Chinese cucumber, though rarely commercially available, has fruit more than 1 foot long with dark green color, very thin and rough skin, and crisp texture, similar to European cucumber. Recommendations for watermelon should be followed for winter melon and chayote. With the exception of chayote, where the entire fruit is planted, these crops are started from seed and grown as transplants prior to being set in the field.

¹FRAC code (fungicide group): Number (1 through 50) and letter U is used to distinguish the fungicide mode of action groups. All fungicides within the same group (with the same number or letter) indicate the same active ingredient or similar mode of action. This information must be considered for the fungicide resistance management decisions. U = unknown, or a mode of action that has not been classified yet. Source: FRAC Code List 2020; http://www.frac.info/ (FRAC = Fungicide Resistance Action Committee). ²Information provided in this table applies only to Florida. Be sure to read a current product label before applying any chemical. The use of brand names and any mention or listing of commercial products or services in the publication does not imply endorsement by UF/IFAS Extension nor discrimination against similar products or services not mentioned.

Table 7.12.

Nonfumigant nematicides for cucurbit crops in Florida.

Product	Application Directions
Mocap 15G (a.i. ethoprop) (only labeled on cucumber)	Apply 13 pounds per acre (7-foot row spacing) or 2.1 pounds per 1,000 linear feet of row in a band 12 to 15 inches wide on the row at planting. Prepare bed and knock off top to provide a level area for treatment. Mix with the top 2 to 4 inches of soil with mechanical equipment right after application. DO NOT use as a seed furrow treatment or allow granules to contact the seed. Only 1 application per season.
Vydate L (a.i. oxamyl)	Apply ½ to 1 gal/acre at planting, preferably via drip application. Make additional applications on a 10-to-14-day interval. Do not apply more than 2 gallons per acre per season. Minimum retreatment interval is 7 days unless a longer interval is stated. If an at-plant application of more than ½ gal/acre is made, do not make more than 2 additional applications.
Nimitz (a.i. fluensulfone)	All applications must be incorporated either physically or via drip or overhead irrigation. Make preplant applications at a rate of 3.5 to 7 pints (56.0 to 80.0 fl oz) per acre, a minimum of seven days before planting. Do not plant any unlisted crops into treated land for 365 days after application of the product. Do not apply more than one application per crop and no more than 112 fl oz of product per acre per year (365 days). Provides control only for nematodes. Growers applying Nimitz must consult the product label to observe the plant-back (recropping) intervals for a variety of leafy vegetables and brassica crops, onions, bananas, sugarcane, and other crops.
Velum (a.i. fluopyram)	Apply max 6.84 fl oz/acre using only chemigation into root zone through low-pressure drip, trickle, microsprinkler, or equivalent equipment. Observe minimum 5-day interval between soil applications. Do not apply more than 13.7 fl oz of Velum (0.446 lb fluopyram) per acre per year, regardless of formulation (Velum and/or Luna) or method of application (soil or foliar). For soil application, to limit the potential for development of disease resistance to this chemical class, the first foliar fungicide application after Velum should be a product from a different FRAC group.
Mocap and Vydate are insecticide/nematicides; Velum is a fungicide/nematicide; Nimitz is a true nematicide. Unlike fumigants, these products are not volatile and will move through the soil via water; depending on the water solubility, these products will have different recommendations as far as how to best apply them (see specific label recommendations); when nematode pressure is high, they may not be as consistently effective against root nematodes as the fumigants.

Fumigant nematicides for cucurbit crops in Florida.

Nematicide	Broadcast Application¹		In-the-Row Applications
Nematicide	Gallons or lb per Acre	fl oz/1000 ft/ chisel-spaced 12" apart	In-the-Row Applications
Telone II ^2,3	9 to 12 gal	26 to 35	For any row spacing, application rates given may be concentrated in the row but shall never exceed the labeled maximum for broadcast applications. Consult the product label for additional detail.
Telone C-17^2,3	10.8 to 17.1 gal	31.8 to 50.2	For any row spacing, application rates given may be concentrated in the row but shall never exceed the labeled maximum for broadcast applications. Consult the product label for additional detail.
Telone C-35 ^2,3	13 to 20.5 gal	38 to 60	For any row spacing, application rates given may be concentrated in the row but shall neverexceed labeled maximum for broadcast applications. Consult the product label for additional detail.
Pic-Clor 60	19 to 31.5 gal	57 to 90	For any row spacing, application rates should never exceed the labeled maximum for broadcast applications. Consult the product label for additional detail.
Vapam HL	75 gal	-	For drip or in-row chisel fumigation, consult product label for proportionately reduced overall rates, drip concentration, and flow-modifying directions and procedures.
KPam HL	60 gal	-	For drip or in-row chisel fumigation, consult product label for proportionately reduced overall rates, drip concentration, and flow-modifying directions.
Dimethyl Disulfide (DMDS)	51.3 gal	-	Compared to broadcast application, apply proportionately less for in-the-row applications based on the ratio of bed width to row spacing. Consult the product label for additional detail and rate-modifying recommendation.
Allyl Isothiocyanate (AITC) Dominus	40 gal	-	For drip or in-row fumigation and crop termination, consult product label for overall rates, drip concentration, and other flow-modifying directions.
¹ Gallons/acre and fl oz/1000 feet provided only for mineral soils. Higher rates may be possible for heavier-textured (loam, silt, clay) or highly organic soils. ² All of the fumigants mentioned are for retail sale and use only by state-certified applicators or persons under their direct supervision. New supplemental labeling for the Telone products must be in the hands of the user at the time of application. See new label details for additional use restrictions based on soil characteristics, buffer zones, requirements for Fumigant Management Plans (FMP) and personal protective equipment (PPE), mandatory good agricultural practices (GAPs), product and applicator training certification, and other rate-modifying recommendations with use of highly retentive mulch films. ³ Higher application rates are possible in the presence of cyst-forming nematodes.
Rates are believed to be correct for products named, and similar products of other brand names, when applied to mineral soils. Higher rates are required for muck (organic) soils. However, the grower has the final responsibility to see that each product is used legally; read the label of the product to be sure that you are using it properly.
