From that point on I have been finding out as much as I can about melon cucumbers. (blogspot.com)
This cucumber-melon takes many forms in a region of Italy known as Puglia. (blogspot.com)
Powdery mildew is one of the main problematic diseases in melon production, requiring the use of chemical pesticides with disease-resistant cultivars for control. (bvsalud.org)
The identification of crop treatments that can enhance resistance to powdery mildew resistance is therefore important to reduce melon crop attrition. (bvsalud.org)
These results indicate that the foliar application of Nano-Se improved melon defenses against powdery mildew infection, with a significant reduction in mildew disease development. (bvsalud.org)
Melons8
Melons prefer warm, well-fertilized soil with good drainage that is rich in nutrients, but are vulnerable to downy mildew and anthracnose. (wikipedia.org)
Called snake melons in the Middle East, this cucumber relative develops slightly ribbed, spineless cucumber-shaped fruit that grow 2-3 feet long and 2 inches in diameter. (territorialseed.com)

There have been a few reports of western stripped cucumber beetles feeding on netted cantaloupe fruit in Yuma (see image below), and one PCA in central Arizona noted that they have occurred earlier this season and more abundant in melons than usual. (arizona.edu)
Although they are not generally a major pest in Yuma, western striped cucumber beetles can cause significant damage to melons by feeding on netted fruit of cantaloupes and smooth rinds of honeydews and watermelons. (arizona.edu)
It wasn't until I grew out this generation of dark Armenian cucumbers that I realized that, like other cucumber-melons, the dark Armenian cucumber is also photosensitive. (blogspot.com)

Downy2
Breeding efforts for resistances to downy mildew, Fusarium, gummy stem blight, Phytophthora capsici, powdery mildew and several viruses will be performed in parallel with genomic analyses and tool development. (usda.gov)
They are especially popular for growing in hot and humid climates, as they are resistant to downy mildew that commonly affects many other types of cucumbers in these climates. (trees.com)
Armenian7
Last year, I made an attempt to grow out the Long Dark Armenian cucumber. (blogspot.com)
