Abstract

A new powdery mildew resistant squash (Cucurbita moschata Duch.) 'Miso' was bred from a cross between powdery mildew resistant true variety 'Sangol' and powdery mildew susceptible inbred line 'Seoulmadi' at National Institute of Horticultural & Herbal Science (NIHHS). The 'Miso' variety was vigorous and highly resistant to powdery mildew. It showed white green fruit color. The variety yielded 21.3MT/ha which is 52% more than control variety.
