Summer-Fall, 1990

 Varieties were evaluated again during the summer-fall seasons of 1990. The varieties were planted on August
17,1990, using a similar plot layout and experimental design as in the previous trial. The crop was harvested 18
times during the period from September 28 to November 26, 1990.
 Data in Table 7 show that all varieties produced similar yields and fruit size. Victory, Tropicuke and Dasher II
produced yields of more than 35 t ha-', while Gemini 7 produced 28.9 t ha-' and had the largest fruit size (420 g).
