Subject 635.63 Edible Garden Fruits and Seeds (Cucumbers)
 
Description Cucurbits constitute the largest group of summer vegetables grown all over the world. Cucumber and bitter gourd are the popular crops of the Cucurbitaceae family grown in low and mid-hills of Himachal Pradesh, Jammu & Kashmir and in plains throughout the India. Fruits of these crops are rich in iron, vitamins (A, B, C), proteins, minerals and have medicinal properties. Cucurbits are infested by a number of insect pests right from the germination up to harvesting stage, but a few of these viz., red pumpkin beetle, fruit flies and hadda beetle are of serious concern (Gupta 2004).
