Slide 2: 

Field View 1 Flowering in cucurbits normally starts in about 40-45 days after sowing depending upon the weather conditions.

Slide 3: 

Field View 2 The node number of the first flower is important and more so the number of the first female or the perfect flower. This is an index of earliness of the cultivar.

Slide 4: 

Flowers View 1 The sequence of flowering follows a set pattern. The first 4-6 flowering nodes would bear staminate flowers and later pistillate flowers appear in few nodes in the main axis and the secondary branches in cycle.

Slide 5: 

Flowers View 2 Female Flower In a typical monoecious sex form, the number of male flowers produced are in far greater proportion than female flowers

Slide 6:
