Anthesis (Cucurbit Maxus)
I want to thank everyone for their support of the product I have developed to help increase the rate and duration of cell division. I have been very happy to see the positive results come in from growers from last year. In one case, to see a 13% increase in final weight when compared to two control (no Anthesis applied) pumpkins in the same grower’s patch was similar to the result that the data suggested. I think many growers were shocked by the very small amount of product that can cause such a large effect on growth.
One of the difficult concepts to get growers to understand is that pumpkins that have been treated with Anthesis are smaller during the first 35-40 days than an untreated pumpkin. This is because of the delay in cell expansion due to the increased rate and duration of cell division. At the end of the season, there are more cells that will allow for improved end of season growth.
To finally see all of the research that I have done pay off with improved growth is very rewarding.
